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. '
