Our Movie Heroines Have Tearful Time in This Week’s Outlay of Photoplays

By WALTER D. HICKMAN EARFUL heroines we have with us this week on the silver screen. This is certainly “sob week" on the local screen and one of the sweetest of this sad crew is Mae Busch as Bessie Collister in a - HIM film version of a rafiflliaiSLfe . story by Sir Hall Caine. In the o. :c;na! his story The >}§.. aflwK Master <>f Man," &F * WBR but for movie pur li. jEaSB poses it has the 9B mdex "Name the Man.” This English aujPP thor knows how to a ra ' tn>* s-,a-\- to g O , heart inter fexfc- ||K | est. As adapted i ; *BR Hk'T for the screen by Pal Bern, “Name MAE BUSCH the Man’’ is sure fire. It may he

over-dramatic in spots, but the human elements of this Isle of Man story are so well handled that one gets the impression of observing a troubled sea lashing against the shore. You probably will remember this photoplay for the tearfully sad work of Mae Busch as Bessie Collister, a girl driven out in the dead of night by her own cruel father. She makes one fatal mistake that night—she accepts the hospitality of a young aristocrat by the name of Victor Stowell and spends the night in his apartment with him. The result is the old, old story. A child is bom and its sudden death results in a police investigation. The girl is brought to trial before the very man who caused her downfall. The climax is dramatic, as the title indicates —“Name the Man.” The man pays the price this time after the girl had suffered. The last we see of our sad little heroine is when a smile creeps over her face as she escapes from prison. She finds happiness in the arms of a good man. Miss Busch belongs to what might be called the Griffith school of emotion. This woman registers honestly in her sad scenes, as she possesses the needed duality of sweetness along with her pathos. She knows how to .use her hands and eyes in putting over a tearful scene. It isn’t necessary for Miss Busch to actually cry as she looks sad and pitiful all over when she becomes an outcast. Conrad Nagel has the needed dash for the character of Victor. Evelyn Selbi does a grand bit of acting as the forlorn mother of Bessie.- Hobart Bosworth again adds to his worth as a character actor in the role of Douglas Stowell. This drama has been carefully and beautifully mounted. It is a serious : attempt to film a Caine story. At the Ohio all week. The bill includes a comedy, music bv Charles

Such a story the late F. Marion Crawford wrote under the title of “The White Sister.” I have had my doubts regarding the wisdom of filming this story as entertainment at this time. Let me make myself clear. . Regardless of one’s religious faith, it is going to be nearly impbssible to get anythink like a unanimous verdict on this story, which deals chiefly with the life of a nun. Religious prejudice, one way or the other, is going to creep in as one observes this photoplay. In this coun-

Lillian Does Splendid Work in White Sister*

. | T > /■ LILLIAN GISH There is one fact we can all agree upon in considering “The White Sister,” now view at English’s, and that is the effective work done by Lillian Gish. She brings a great sympathy to the role. try we are blessed with the power to worship as we see fit. That is our great right, and in exercising that right we naturally think along that line. It is, indeed, difficult to make entertainment out of a story which concerns the Influence of Christ upon the life of a woman who renounces the world for service as a nun. There are parts in the film version of “The White Sister” which I do not consider “entertainment,” theater or drama. I am not taking any religious side and I do not want to be charged with that. There are certain phases of this story as filmed which I do not consider to be "entertainment,” and I stand upon that opinion. Let us consider “The White Sister” as a dramatic photoplay. It has been beautifully filmed. Lillian Gish seems to have the suffering of the whole world upon her frail shoulders. She is either in tears or getting ready to cry most of the time. She does splen didly with a role of great power, feeling and dramatic worth. The picture is wealthy in back ground as it was made in Italy. The volcano eruption scene near the end of the picture is p. masterpiece. In the first part of the picture there are some marvelous shots showing the castle of Chiaromonte. Poor Judgment has been exercised, to my way of thinking, of picturing the Christ as a symbol during the scenes ! when Angela becomes a nun. These 1 scenes lift the photoplay out of the realm of entertainment. The qast is as follows: Angela Chtaromopte Lillian Gish Capt.

Circle Has Rirht to Be Proud of “Down to Sea in Shins” Althouerh the Circle has its sad heroine this week, vet Marguerite Courtot does not suffer in vain. In “Down to the Sea in Ships,” Miss Courtot suffers mentally because her stern and czarlike old dad wants Wi-u :g Ilian. Isn't Sf ■ it funny how fa tliers m movies S *‘ Pi c k scoundrels for the husbands \ ° f lllfir daughtel ters? And yet it is ’his devotion of a t P rl to Ike V t;, foolish whims of ■fv' H *&' th ® story an in- | ’ teres ting roman*v tic background. ■Hfck. •' * ■■* The Circle has a MARGUERITE right, to be proud COURTOT of “Down to the Sea in Ships,” as it is a strong movie of a certain phase of life—the whaling industry off the coast of New’ Bedford, Mass. When I tell you this is different and worth while, do not think I am preaching. Here is a movie which has real value. A man goes whaling for love. That may sound like a fish story, but it is corking good theater and yet it is life. All I know about the life of fishermen is what I have read in books ' and occasionally see on the screen or the stage. Real live whales, honest to goodness whale fighters and ships of a real sea all figure in the marvelous background of this story. Patience Morgan (Miss Courtet) loves Thomas Alien Dexter, but the mere fact that

he is not a Quaker nor a man who has harpooned a tVhale makes him very undesirable in the eye of Patience’s father, who is a Quaker,and was once a whaler. Father picks a scoundrel as the prospective husband of his daughter. Dexter is kidnaped and taken to sea in a whaling vessel and this gives him a chance to kill a real tvhale, but when he returns he finds that his Patience is about to be forced into marriage with a scoundrel. True love wins and you are glad that such a thing is pictured on the screen. The types of the whaling village are the real article. Movie directors recently have been journeying over to Italy and other spots to make their movies and it is a relief to find a. dilector wise enough to travel over our own country to film his story in the right location. There are thrills, many of them, in “Down to the Sea in Ships” at the Circle this week. It is the actual ocean you see in this film and real men fight the old sea. I know that you have been waiting for a novelty as well as a real picture. Then don’t miss this one at the Circle this week.

Molly Is sad because she can’t make tip her mind which man she wants to have as her husband. Tom Mix makes up her mind by proving to Molly that he is the guy she is awaiting for. Her® is a photoplay which is the regular Mix stuff with the exception of the beginning. It takes quite a little time before Mix is given a chance to get in action. But oh, boy, when he docs get a chartce, Tom is a mighty busy gentleman. We expect to see Tom stage a couple of real fights and ’he has at least three corking good ones. This story gives us a tearless heroine, although she is mighty headstrong. Here dad wants her to marry a certain worth Jess'fellow and the funny part about it, she is sweet upon a fellow who is just as low down. But In the end our hero proves his worth and the movie ends happy with no tears present. Mix has a loyal movie public. He is an Institution in himself and I think that he Is a credit to the movie business. When I entered the Apollo yesterday there was standing room only.

SIOO SAVED NOW WILE BE WO IN TIM YEARS Utilities Present Excellent Opportunity for Savings, A well-known writer on the subject of thrift, in a recent articles made the point that SIOO. saved by a man when he’s 20 years of age, Is equal to SBOO saved when he is 56 years old. The reason Is that SIOO at 6 per cent interest, compounded semi-annually, will amount to SB4O In thirty-six years. Acorns Become Oaks Hero's a truth that is easy of demonstration. It should be and easily can be used to great advantage by almost any young man or woman, in the early twenties. Older folks, too, profit by giving a little more attention to the fact that even small sums o fmoney, when rightly used, soon grow into substantial amounts. To be thrifty does not mean to be a miser. Thrift includes not only saving, but a proper spending for proper necessities with on avoidance of waste. Wise spending lea vital part of thrift. One need not go afar in search of opportunities for safe, profitable investing. Plenty of chance exists at home. Partners in Utility.
