ANNIE WARD'S BIG PICTURE, "THE CHEAT" HAS STRONG STORY The folly of certain women of ^ wealth apparently reduced by ad- ^ entitious circumstances to poverty, i well depicted in "The Cheat," a j trong Paramount photoplay starring 'annie'Ward, which will be shown t the Opera House tonight. THs is a splendid picture, the ft lionie of ivh;ch is filled with dra- ]f latic irmanec of absorbing inerest. Miss Ward is the extrava- 11 if ant ?nd somewhat frivolous -wife || f a rich stock broker, who vainly }| eg.-, her to retrench. She appro- if riates $10,000 from a Red Cross || und, of which she is custodian, || nd invests it in stocks with the re- 5; uli- that the money is lost. She ? plea's to a Japanese neighbor who _ nterlairs a secret love for her, aid [ 1 a moment of weakness accepts I 10.000 from him on condition that I ho call upon him the next day. 1 p Meanwhile, her husband's affairs * 1 avmg prospered, sne ouiams uum, im $10,000 and hastens to Tori's ouse to discharge her debt. The Japanese, swayed by his pass-on,' mbraces and kisses her and when; h resists him, brands her on the j houlder with a hot iron whereuuonj I \ he picks up a revolver and shootsiim. Her husband, who has mean-, rhile followed her, stumbles across^ he body and, although he finds ( s check he had given his wife ~ p d? remnant of her gown, whan! * iif police enter he announces thitj f- has shot the Japanese. The action of the story from this lomt to its logical conclusion, and ~ hrough which tlie Hardy's are hap- F lily reunited, forms a picture of inusual interest. Miss Ward is sup-: icrtcd by a cast of excellent screen' layers, chief among whom are Susue Hayakawa, Jack Dean, James J Jeill snd Hazel Childers.
