FILM FESTIVAL AT THE CRESCENT

Week of High Class Photo Drama Promised By General Manager Van Borssum.

After a successful week's run oi Ch:ulf.s Chaplin ir "A Night in tin* Show," the Crescent tneatre will again turn to high class features, introducin^ the most talented am! high salaried stars in filmdom.

On Monday, Robert Edeson, the famous "legit" and movie star, will be featured in a modern morality play, "The Absentee," a symbolic photoplay, showing in striking scenes the difficulties, disappointments and trials that beset man in his search for happiness and success. I

The symbolic character, "Power," is vigorously portrayed by Mr. Edeson. "Pov.'er" leaves his factory in charge of his manager, "Might," who wrecks the property in order that his wife, "Extravagance," and his daughter, "Vanity," may devote themselves to lives of selfish pleasure. It is only when "Justice," the office stenographer, forces "Power" to right the harm done his employes that he sees his error in believing that "Might" is right. Then comes the realization that "Justice" should ever go hand in hand' with "Power."

On Tuesday will be s"iown "The Fox "Woman," by John Long, author of "Madam Butterfly." Sigree Aven, the fascinating film star, is featured as "The Fox Woman," a term applied to a vampire woman by the Japanese. Miss Aven is supported by the juvenile stars, Miss Teddy Sampson and Elmer Clifton, and a whole troupe of Japanese players.

On Wednesday will be shown a fivereel feature directed by Thomas Ince, entitled "The Mating," featuring Miss Bessie Barriscale. "The Mating" Is a college drama, picturing the adventures of a country girl in a select boarding school. A football game is a headline of the photoplay.

Thursday's feature is a sensational Bostick animal picture, directed by Capt. Jack Boniviata. It is a thriller from start to finish.

For Friday, Mr. Van Borssum, general manager of the Crescent, has secured the much-talked-of feature, "Man's Perogative." Frank Woods is the author, and D. W. Griffith is the director in general. "Man's Perogative" is frankly sociological, asking the question, "Is the double standard of morals justified by conditions?" The story purposes to show that man and women have not been, since time began, and should not be.

Mr. Robert Edeson, star of "Strongheart," and for years the idol of matinee girls' hearts, as the husband, has the leading part in "Man's Perogative." He Is moat ably supported Dy Miss Mary Alden, as the wife Charles Clary and Billie West as the tempters."Man's

Perogative" is a picture well worth going twice to see. On Saturday Henry Woodruff, the distinguished legitimate actor, will be seen in "A Man and His Mate." He will be remembered as starring as Brown in "Brown of Harvard," when it made its long New York run. He is supported by an all-star cast, including Miss Gladys Brockwell. "A Man and His Mate" is a great human drama of the drug evil. The story of a woman's sacrifice and a man's salvation. The scenes rapidly change from an eastern college where Henry Woodruff, as Ogden, a young college athlete of high ideals and good birth, acquires the morphine habit to the west err wilds where he is a social outcast and a physical wreck. But with the love of a woman and the staunch friendship of her father, a Kentucky colonel, he regains his health.

Templer Saxe, a popular Broadway favorite, supported by Miss Katherlne Lewis, will be at the Orpheum today in a strong three-act Vitagraph production, "Heredity." Paul Gilmore, the well-known dramatic star, will be seen Monday in "A Woman's Wiles," a three act Kalem Broadway favorite production. Mr. Gilmore is supported by Ethel Fleming as the designing artist's model. A plcturlzatlon of Bertha M. Clay's novel, "Dora Thorn," in four acts, is the bill Tuesday. Lionel Barrymore and Isabel Rea are featured in this popular production. Wednesday Ruth Stonehouse and Edmund F. Cobb will be seen in the two-part Essanav, "The Papered Door," sho^n with "Oh, Doctor," a Kalem comedy, featuring "Bud" Duncan. Ahita Stewart and Lane Williams are the stars Thursday in a Vitagraph entitled "Count 'Em," shown with a two-act Vitagraph production, "The Gypsy Trail," starring Antonio Moreno and Frankie Mann. A vampire drama is underlined for Friday, when Margaret Prussing and Augustus Phillips will be seen in Edison's four-act feature, "The Ring of Borgias." "The Dynamite Train," a Helen Gibson railroad thriller, and "A Model Wife," a two-act Vitagraph, with Antonio Moreno and Lillian Walker, is Saturday's program. The Orpheum Four in their Vocal offerings are registering big hits at each performance. They are singing today Witmark's latest hit, "Are You From Dixie?"

Theodore Roberts and Carlyle Blackwell will be co-stars in the Lasky production of "Mr. Crex of Monte Carlo," which Frank Reicher will direct.

Francis Starr in New York Success

David Belaaco will shortly present Frances Starr at the Grand in her Belasco theatre, New York success, "Ma-rie-Odile." Thia latest play from the pen of the successful playwright, Edward Knoblauch, concerns a 16-year-old girl, a novice in a convent, who has been brought up in complete ignorance of the world. The portrayal of the title role by Miss Starr is said to be wonderfully sweet and beautiful and to add another triumph to her long list of achievements in the theatre.

TWO POPH STARS

Marguerite Clark and Iffary Pickford Are Featured In New Photoplays From Paramount Studios.

Two of the most popular of feminine stars in filmdom—Marguerite Clark and Mary Pickford—will be shown at the American this week. Miss Clark has the leading part In "Still Waters," to be shown today, Monday and Tuesday. She plays the part of a girl who elopes with a circus performer, is deserted, and when she returns to her father is zealously guarded from contact with the outside world.

A vivacious, extremely bright and ambitious girl, Nesta frets at the restraint, and finally slips away to a neighboring orchard, where she meets young Dr. Ramsay, the owner of the property. A flirtation results from thia chance meeting, which soon ripens into love. But Mrs. Ramsay has other ambitions for her son, and she invites the object of her motherly schemes to visit the house.

A circus, the first Nesta has ever seen, comes to the neighboring town. The little girl is captivated by the glamour of the show, and runs away from the canalboat in order to see the performance. She .^attracts the attention of the circus fc^ks, and when the woman who is playing Pierrette collapses Nesta takes her place. A cleverly arranged fainting scene, staged at the proper moment by the "other girl," crushes Nesta under the weight of the sudden discovery Df what she erroneously believes to be the duplicity of the perfectly innocent Ramsay. Angered by her grandfather's stern discipline, the reason for which is a sealed book to her, and heart broken by her lover's apparent defection, Nesta runs

A play that appeals to all men, women and children a story written by Edith Barnard Delano, author of "Rags." There are many touches of comedy that alternate with the more dramatic phrases of action. A sure enough country circus is one of the features of the picture.
