tempt to dtermine if she is really the Girl of the Double Cross are frustrated by a mysterious masked character called "The Stranger,” who, however, always protects both Peter and Philippa in times of peril. is unable to understand why the girl who one day professes to lie deeply in love with him, denies the next day haviug accepted his attention. interest in the story is well sustained throughout the fifteen episodes. William Parke, whose work is distinguished by his careful attention to detail and "the big little things,” de-, manded by motion picture audiences, directed this serial for the Astra Film Corporation. Every episode has been produced up to the standard of the best feature productions and widespread comment has been created by the elaborate sets. Mr. Parke was Mansfield’s stage director. He made the original stage production of “Peer Gynt.” Miss King is a sister of Charles King, of the famous team of Brice and King. She and her sister Nellie , have toured the country in vaudeville ; and Miss King had a leading role in , a Winter Garden show; She has done > the best work of her career in ' "Mystery of the Double Cross.” Her - extensive wardrobe for this serial inf eludes sixty-five gowns and suits; - forty-three hats and thirty-one pairs -of shoes. The high cost of serials ■ she says is more important to .ter i than the high cost of living. 3 Interest in the mystery of the iden--3 tity of ( the real Girl of the Double f Cross is intensified with each succeed--3 ing episode. Peter's attempts to - solve the problem are thwarted by a t* mysterious masked character known Jas “The Stranger.” it is not until > the final episode that the mystery i'- - solved.
