Mail Tribune 100: Aug. 26, 1916, continued Saturday Aug 27, 2016 at 12:01 AM Aug. 26, 1916 Editor's note: There was no Aug. 27, 1916, paper. 'SUDDEN RICHES' WITH WARWICK AT STAR "Sudden Riches," the World film production featuring Robert Warwick, with Grace George, Clara Whipple and Gerda Holmes, forming a three-star picture of unusual merit. It deals with the efforts of a young man and his wife to wade through a large inheritance left them by their uncle, out of spite because the young man's father had outrivalled him when the two were courting the same girl, and a double spite against his nephew because his mother died in giving him birth. His plan was to ruin the little family by giving them so much money, which he very nearly succeeded in doing. How the father and mother, drifting away after two years of recklessness and fickleness, are brought face to face with themselves in their true light of dissipation through the illness of their little daughter, forms an ideal vehicle in which to exploit the wonderful dramatic abilities of Mr. Warwick and the Misses Whipple and Holmes. "Sudden Riches" will be the feature shown on the screen at the Star theater today only. A Nestor comedy titled, "Just a Few Little Things," completes the bill. SOCIETY The Choral society will meet again for the fall and winter session on the first Tuesday in September. The membership promises to be considerably augmented. All applications for membership should be forwarded in writing without delay to the secretary, Mrs. Frank Isaacs. This is the greatest singing school opportunity on the Pacific coast and every singer should get into the work and make this movement go. George Andrews, the director, is already busy in the selection of new music and an effort worthy of the ability of the chorus will be made for the next performance. Mrs. W. F. Biddle entertained Tuesday afternoon with one table of bridge in honor of Mrs. Warner of Kansas City, who is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Abercrombie. The guests were Mrs. Warner, Mrs. English, Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs. Riddell.
