The refinement of. mental torture is

reck This sutuect. with Anita
Stewart as star and ran all star sup-
porting cast fncluding Harry T. Io-
rey will be shown at the Dixie Thea-
ter today.
"The Wreck" is likely to gain fame
from the particular fact of its portray-
al of mental anguish at one or two
; points in its story. Aside from these
high points of dramatic power the film
has a refreshing lighter tone.
The discovery that he. has killed in
n fit of jealousy based on wrongful
suspicion ofhw wife the very man
who was in fact befriending his own
son. brings about the torture of a char-
acter in "Tlie Wreck.'".
Mr. Morey' playing the role of the
t husband in question- conveys a re
markable message of facial expression
and characterization of the torture
that possesses him.
