The j scene is laid in the Rockies, and. be sides the gripping story, the picture contains somo exceptionally bquutiful photography. it is seldom, indeed. I that a motion picture cast actually achieves the honor of being 'all-star,' | but such is the cast which was chosen to support the popular star in this ! photoplay. Theodore Roberts, Rav i mond liatton, Ann James J Cruze, Horace B. Carpenter.

Prominent among the l special hits is a clog dance done by "animated toys'" during the action of i the fantasy. "Santa Claus at Home." j Clog dancing is not attempted very j often as a chorus number because of I the difficulty in getting a large j group to execute it in perfect unison, j The slightest variation on the part j of one dancer would, because of the , sound of the clogs, be apparent to ! the audience and spoil the effect. The l perfection of the number given by j the "Dancing Toys" always creates much enthusiasm. The "toys" are 1 represented by Henri Neiser, Garner ! Newton, Harry Young, John Mears, ; W. O'Brien. Phil Harris, Ed. Ewalt, j Frank Miller, l.eo Doran, Billy Ar ! nohl. Boni Mack and Harry White. These accomplished artists likewise ! give a travesty on the tango of ex ceptional cleverness.

The story Is concerned with the complications resulting from the purchase by a wife of a sable coat at a bargain sale. Her brother pawns the coat to make a bet on the races. Another wife sees it, and the hubby oi wife No. 1 presents it to her. In order to avoid criticisms on the part of her husband, wife No. 2 again pawns It and gives hubby the ti<Hiet.

Feme Rog ers, Burrell Barbaretto, Thomas Bur ton. Beth Smaller, Harry Miller, Hoy den Keith. Milt Dawson, tleorge Slade and others. A large chorus, at tired in gorgeous costumes, is said to be a prominent feature in the proper preparation of the many tuneful and catchy musical numbers, some of which are "When My Wife's Away," "Furs and Frills," "lVoes Polly Want Wally?" "It's Easy to Lie to Your Husband," "You Can't Take It With You When You Die," "This Is My I.ucky Day." "The Tale of a Coat, "Always Take Mother's Advice," etp.

Rex Beach's greatest picture, "The Auction Block." released by the Goldwyn Pic "The Auction llloek" tures Corpor at the Colonial ation, closes a two-day en gagement at the Colonial Theater to night. It is a picture of rare merit and deserves to rank among the greatest achievements of the moving picture art. Brilliantly produced on a grand scale, directed by that fine artist, Larry Trimble; acted by an all star cast chosen especially for their titness, and with a plot written by a great literary genius. "The Auction Block" is a film supreme. To-morrow—the popular screen star, Karle Williams, will be seen in the Vitagraph feature, "In the Hal ance," a screen adaptation of E.
