The program at The Strand tomor row consists of another PARAMOUNT PICTURE, “His Last Dollar,” pro duced by Daniel Frohman, in which David Higgins takes the leading role, originally created by him. “His Last Dollar" is the most thrill ing drama of its type ever produce! in America. The success of the origi nal production was so decisive and no table that the title of the play has become a by-word in racing circles, and for many years a “David Higgins" lias been commonly accepted as rep resenting the last dollar in one’s pos session. In the film production David Higgins’ unusual characterization of Joe Braxton, the millionaire ex-Jockey, surpasses his impersonation in the stage version, and many scenes, In cluding the exciting situations at the stock exchange, and the great race it self, that were only described in the play, are vividly depicted In the film adaptation.
