"COMING THROUGH"?....

TO-DAY.

"Coming Through" is Thomas Meighan's latest production, for Paramount. The story is a picture version of "Bed Rack," a mining novel by Jack Bethea.

Lila Lee, in her first screen role in more than a year, is featured at | the head of a strong supporting cast. Wallace Beery gives one of his greatest characterisations as a roughneck mine foreman.

"Coming Through" has to do with a clerk who has big ideas and the ability to carry them out. We first see Tom keeping books in Pittsburgh, A whirlwind court- ship and elopement with the presi- dent's daughter follows. The father calls him a fortune-hunter. Tom doesn't take the trouble to deny it and the girl turns against him.

Then the scene shifts to Colton, the wildest of mining camps just outside of Birmingham. Here's the scene of Tom's fight to prove him- self worthy of a better job and the love of his estranged wife.

AT THE STÅR.

"ADVENTURE" TODAY.

To begin with, this is a strong story with a South Sea locality written by the late Jack London whose fertile brain has hatched out many a stirring action plot, "of which "Adventure" la a typical example. Imagine a lone white man on one of the cannibal Solomon Islands waging a desperate single- handed battle against the rebellious native blacks, while his body is racked with black water fever. Imagine him collapsing and being Baved from a fate worse than death by the timely arrival of a brave, courageous girl-this opens the way for adventure, doesn't it?

And the dramatic developments that follow, the dangers they face, and the risks they run furnish the nth degree of excitement and thrills. Blatching the story in strength is the powerful cast of. popular players, which includes Buch favourites as Tom Moore, Pauline Stork, Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton.
