MONDAY AND .TUESDAY. Greta Oreen Marguerite Clerk, til dainty and fascinating stage and screen favorite, is certain to add appreciably to her astounding popularity In the Famous Players Film company's four-Dart plcturlzatlon of the celebrat

ed comedy romance, "Gretna Green," by Grace Livingston Furniss. This quaint and picturesque play possesses all the varying elements essential to the successful screed .drama love; sacrifice, humor, mystery and thrill and is laid In the charming-period of thu Mrtv nineteenth - mttirv. whan

' storing elopements to Gretna Green, a lovers' haven in the north of Scotland, added a dash of excitement to many true love matches, when hearts reigned over the marts of commerce. Just before .the prose of. business usurped the poetry of romance. In "Gretna Gree" Marguerite Clark bewitcbingly portrays - the adorable character of Dolly Erkine. a little English belle and a bit of a flirt, who queens it over the beaux of the realm with sovereign sway, until she loses her heart under circumstances both humorous and dramatic. Miss -Clark's winsome personality, her piquant beauty and elfin grace assist her in making the role, of Dolly

tions. The romance and htimor of "Gretna Green" have thrilled and amused countless audiences as a. play, and the serene version of this noted subject, with the amplification of the plot and the authentic reproduction of the famous Green, made possible only through the film production, enhance the general interet and appeal of the story, while teh striking and unique costumes of the period contribute to the total charm of the picture. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. "Are You a Mason?" The prominent star, John Barrymore, who attained phenomenal popularity throughout the world as an irresistible screen comedian In the Famous Players Film company's comedy triumphs, "An Amnrlran fMtiun " anil "Tha Man From

Mexico," surpasses both his former screen successes in the five-part film adaptation of Leo Ditrichstein's excruciatingly funny farce, "Are -You a Mason?" This subject was selected as the vehicle for Mr. Barrymore's return to the screen because it represents, more than any other. comedy of similar reputation, the type of dramatic humor best adapted to the inimitable talents of the star. In "Are You a Mason?" Mr. Barrymore, portrays the character of Frank Parry, a dashing young married man of exuberant spirits and vivid imag

ination, when his wife announces

that her chief desire in life is to have him become a Mason, Perry grasps the opportunity it affords for staying out several nights, explaining his numerous absences from home by the logical statement that he is spending KV avdTilnr at th Mannl Icwlm-nn.

-dergolng the ordeals of initiation-.-One night wifey delightfully - announces that her father, grand master of the Masons, is coming to visit them. Perry's agonized efforts to keep his father-in-law from discovering his deception, and the fearful tangles in which he becomes involved thereby, culminating in a situation which is one of the funniest climaxes ever conceived, furnish the humor of the farce, which is further heightened by the fact that the "grand master" has also deceived his family, is not a Mason, and is constantly manufacturing other deceptions to safeguard bis first falsehood. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Since entering picture work William Farnum, famous dramatic star of Ben

Hut, the Prince of India, the Sign of the Cross and other heroic dramas, who portrays the leading part in the great film production of Henry Guy Carleton's "A Gilded Fool," made by William Fox, has had many interesting and - sometimes perilous experiences, rin making "The Gilded Fool: pictures, however, he came nearer to enabling, his beneficiaries to collect his life Insurance than ever before. Mr. Farnum has driven chariots over rocky .hillsides at top speed and ridden bronchos Mazeppa fashion many times; but he says that his recent ride on Broadway in a seo-going hack of venerable history and' possessed ;of "an ancient and fish-like smell," beat anything in that line he has hitherto attempted.

LYRIC TONIGHT. Checking "The Flight of the Night Bird" A millionaire gives up home, family and position temporarily- in order to prove that be could make his own living, if hard put to it, in "The Flight of a Night Bird," a Gold Seal two-reel drama to be released on July 27. Goaded into showing his old family lawyer that, he has the "makings of a man," In him, the young millionaire gives up bis gay associates, starts to work unknown to any in a steel mill, meets the girl of his heart in the slums and then goes back. to his former social position with a pretty intelligent wife and a new personal outlook on life and its responsibilities. The story of the play was written by H. G. Stafford and produced by Charles Giblyn. Cleo Madison, Agnes Vernon, Hobart Henley and Ray Hanford enact the leading roles.

MONDAY. "The Heritage" Kate's mother was a woman of refinement ; her father, a university graduate of gentle birth. Her father died when she was very young, and her mother, forced to provide for her infant daughter and herself, soon pined away, leaving her golden-haired child to the mercy of Etrangers. A kind-hearted neighbor, Mrs. McMahon, folded the arms of the dead woman upon her breast and saw to it that the mother received a decent burial beside her husband. Then she applied for and received permission from the city to adopt little goldenhaired Kate. Kate arrives at the age of ten, puny, illiterate, and wise only in the manner of her kind. Her foster father loses his position and Kate is sent out: to work, not only for herself, but for her father. Eight years elapse, and Kate is still a worker in the seething hive of industry. Mrs. McMahon continues her friend, and "Big Bill'" Mc Mahon, Mrs. McMabon's stalwart son, is friend, sweetheart and protector. WEDNESDAY, n "A Daughter of the Jungles" Henry McRae, the new director-general ". at University, City, lis '.considered .tobe

without -apeer in tte -production of-H

wild animal dramas. In "A Daughter of the Jungles" he has achieved the seemingly impossible. He has forced leopards and lions into attacking the actors before the camera lens. Leopards leap from trees on horsemen passing below and lions made mad rushes and seize actors and actresses in their jaws. How it is done only Henry McRae knows, but done it is, and no mistake. The story of the play follows : Colonel Price is entertaining his guests at a reception and announces the engagement of his niece, Betty, to Jack Packard. Among the guests is Jim Crafton, who has left college temporarily in order to be at the reception. Crafton is Betty's former sweetheart, and she determines to break

her engagement, if possible. He asks Betty to join him in the earden. Upon reaching a little- arbor with Betty, Crafton kisses her and she yields to his embraces. Jack learns that Betty has gone out into the garden and follows her. . He sees Crafton kissing her and is brokenhearted. He goes back to the house and returns to the arbor with the Colonel, Betty's father. The Colonel is enraged and takes Jack into his library, where he tells Jack how Crafton's father ruined his life. ' FRIDAY. , "Jealousy, What Art Thou?". In "Jealousy, What Art Thou?" a R two-reel comedy drama, Ben and Dorothy are insanely jealous of each other. The story opens in Ben's office, where Dorothy calls at the close of the day to accompany him for a stroll. Ben excuses himself for a moment, and during his absence we see Dorothy's curiosity get the better of her. She then goes through the drawers of his desk, discovering there a photograph of a beautiful woman which stares up at her mockingly. -i Meanwhile, Ben, in an ante-room, has gone there for the purpose of looking through a very mysterious looking handbag brought in by Dorothy, and which he has cleverly pocketed. Ben finds to his horror, amongst various feminine trifles, a man's card, which reads: JOSEPH D. CARSON Greely 1081 ' This he pockets and returns to Dorothy, who, on hearing him return, has tucked the photograph in her bodice. The two, looking much worried, start for a stroll. On the street Ben smiles at an acquaintance in a. passing carriage and Dprothy frigidly remarks that he'd better stop flirting.'

ARCADE SUNDAY

THE ONLY HOUSE SHOWING THE FEATURE "DIFFERENT." "THE GODDESS" HUGE SUCCESS. Perhaps one of the most sensational steps in the motion picture art was brought forward when "The Goddess" was conceived and released by the Vitagraph company, as this marks the era of the' continued photo-play in chapter. It is known and conceded that serials have been on the wane, particularly the blood and thunder type which lack the necessary heart interest and continuity, and are nothing but a series of thrills loosely joined together. When "The Goddess" was conceived it was decided to vary from the commonplace and produce a real continued photo-play in chapters similar in

all respects to the continued stories

appearing in magazines and newspapers. . Gouverneur Morris, the author of the story, wrote "The Goddess" In its entirety, and Charles W. Goddard

in collaboration with Mr. Albert E. Smith and Ralph Ince scenarioized it. !

Before a foot of film was taken, this scenario was boiled down to a working basis eliminating all the unnecessary business but adhering absolutely to the various climaxes with which each chapter deals. Great difficulty was experienced, particularly with regard to having a great amount of heart interest in each and every chapter. As a rule, serials are good with some installments and very poor in others and the audiences never know what to expect with the next installment. The true art 'of story writing, however, is followed with "The Goddess," as each chapter of the same increases in intensity and dramatic action. Probably the largest syndicating organization in the world was employed to promote and exploit "The Goddess" In the largest papers of the country. This accounts for the huge success of this serial as the Hearst publications undoubtedly have the largest numerical following of any newspapers.
