"THE ACQUITTAL" IN STOCK
Orpheum Players Produce, Mystery
Play With Qood Results
Orpheum "The Acquittal," which
made such a hit when played on a
downtown stngo here last season, is the
piny chosen for the second week of the
Orpheum Players at their Gcrmahtown
theatre.
j-ast nignt tney showed that this
gripping Btory of a murder and its re
sults is splendidly constructed for stock
presentation. The piny opens with the
return homo of a man acquitted on n
chargo of murder, nnd this orlelnnlltv
continues throughout the play, and the
attempts of the man's wlfo and a young
reporter to uncover the real murderer.
JtiBt how tho tangled skein was worked
out had better bo seen to be appre
ciated. Miss Ruth Robinson covered herself
with credit in tho hard role of tho wife,
while Dwlght Meado was equally good
in an opposite part.

"Mamma's. Affair" Shows
Comedienne at Best "Scrap

Arcadia By about the end of the
first half of "Mamma's Affair" the fact
began to dawn on the nudlenec that they
were seeing n Constance Talmndgo pic
ture that wns not only different from

In the mlddlo of the picture. This
old stngo favorite gives n character por
trayal that should stand out in movie
dom for months to come.
Miss Tnlmadge gives n characteriza
tion that is n gem. It is tho kind that
grows on you ns you watch the story
unfold. Then you begin to realize that
every action of tho young leading lady
is helping to create the illusion of nerv
ousness nnd ill health. Her final break
down scene is nil the more effective
thereby and renrhes nbout tho high
water mnrk in this comedienne's prog
ress. Victoria A Two-fisted picture with
n sincere, hord-worklns young star
and a simple nnd straightforward story
ought to go over well, even though
romance is spelled with n small "r"
and moro or less minimized. Such n
picturo Is "Scrap Iron," with Charles
Rav .as Its personable lending man.
Tho flappers may think thcro is too
much fighting, but, as a mntter of fact,
it is the most out-of-tho-ordinary, out
standing picturo that Ray has turned
out since his early days with Triangle.
Tho plot is Bomotimcs tenuous, but it
is always honest and plausnblc. It
concerns John Steel, a young man who
promises bit Invalid mother never to
fight, nnd then iocj his job nnd is
forced to his fists as his last resort.
The fight is the climax, and It Is n
wonder. Charlie takes a licking because

Its central figure, and its not-too-sweet
sentiment;
There isn't much to the plot, which
concerns the attempt of ono Jerry
Doublcdny to win a nice young man
nwny from her old-maid aunt. The
ilnmc is derived from the fact that the
heroine hates to be called "little girl"
by mother and nunt, nnd finally rebels
against it. Hut what tho plot lacks in
substance It make up In charm and
light comedy.
As a whole this play may be said to
he Ideal entertainment for those who
do not fancy strong meat in their
movies. Hub-debs will ndore "Jerry"
and men will find the comedy making
up, in a good part, for the saccharine
sentiment.

The Dread Pyorrhea Begins
With Bleeding Gums
Pyorrhca'o infecting germs cause many ills. Medica1
science hao proven this.
Diseased conditions, which not long ago doctors
were unable to trace to a cause, are now known often
to be the result of Pyorrhea germs that breed in pocket
about the teeth. Rheumatism, anaemia, nervous dis
orders and other diseases have been traced in many
cases to this Pyorrhea infection.
Don't let Pyorrhea work its wicked will on your
body. Visit your dentist frequently for tooth and gum
inspection.
And walch your gurra yourself. Pyorrhea, which
afflicts four out of five people over forty, begins with
tender and bleeding gums; then the gums recede, the
teeth decay, loosen and fall out, or must be extracted
to rid the system of poisons generated at their base.
Forhan's For the Gums will prevent Pyorrhea or
check its progress, if used in time and used consistently.
Ordinary dentifrices cannot do this. Forhan's keeps
the gums hard and healthy the teeth white and clean.
Start using it today. If gum-shrinkage has already set
in, use Forhan's according to directions and consult a
dentist immediately for special treatment
