“The Great Game” (Essanay), December 26

A two-reel subject with the stock market as its background. Thomas Commerford, E. H. Calvert and Irene Warfield appear in the cast. The story is an entertaining one, in which the son of the railroad magnate defeats his father’s villainous plans. The scenes are many of them overdrawn and the acting palpably melodramatic. This of course detracts from the production in a way, but as a story of frustrated villainy it will please the average observer.
