Plus War Tax "The Miracle Man" Ranks With Great Film Masterpieces ?Big Story in George Loane Tucker Production Will Grip Audience. Published originally as a novel in Munsey's Magazine, written by Frank L. Packard and later drama tized by George M. Cohan and pre sented with phenomenal success on Broadway, George Loane Tucker's producton "The Miracle Man" comes to the Edgefield Theatre on October 15th. As a Paramount Artcraft pic ture this absorbing story has been hailed by the critics as one of the fi nest productions ever seen on the screen. With scenes laid in the haunts of criminals in New York's China town, in a little village on the side of a giant mountain and on the shore of a roaring ocean, the opportunity for wonderful photographic effect has been reapplied to the limit. But the chief interest is in the striking story which centers about the venerable figure of an old patri arch who is credited with the power to heal the sick and make crippled limbs whole again. To him come Tom Burke and his band of crooks from New York's Chinatown, with the idea of cashing in on his powers. But it doesn't work out as they calculated, for hidden away in each of them is a leaven of good, which slowly comes to the surface under the influence of their wholesome environment. In a most marvelous way the criminals are reclaimed from the paths of crime. A cast of unusual ability enacts the important roles in the picture, headed by Thomas Meighan, a well known leading man, anti including Elinor Fair, Betty Compson, Joseph J. Dowling, Lou Chaney, W. Lawson Butt, J. M. Dumont, Lucille Hutton, and F. A. Turner. Edgefield Theatre, October, 15th. Clarke-Bomar.
