3-DAYS-3 TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY April 13, 14, 15 Heads I win tails you lose. That was the game she played. She loved and lied, and cupid looked on and smiled. A rollicking comedy drama with lovely Norma Talmadge taking the dual role of her own husband's young and vivacious affinity and matronly wife. At times Norma is almost naughty at times she assumes the role of the tigerish vampire and throughout the picture she gives a lesson in love making that will thrill all South Bend.

The Reviewers Say: rowl mh delulite'l." uli lur ilaeil another week." "Norma lit her heh" lliiiilreil tiiro.nl away." . pleture with a punch.

The Story The film is adapted from the story of the same name by that famous mystery author, Wilkie Collins. It ia a story so absorbing that it holds its suspense to the last inch of film. In the unfolding of the unusual plot love, deceit, trickery, hate all the emotions ever sensed by human being follow each other in rapid sequence. Married to a man who does not love her, Marie Callender (Norma Talmadge), decides she must win his love through the vampire methods that exert such an attraction for him. Accordingly she so cleverly disguises herself that her own hushand is completely fooled. The assuming of this dual role, the characters differing in age, social caste and appearance, is one of the most wonderful bits of character acting ever seen on the screen. As the tiger girl Norma Talmadge does a bit of d eep dramatic acting that stamps her as one of the most versatile stars in the world. As the matronly wife she is . the lovely, sweet and beautiful Norma that has made admirers by the millions and made her the most popular of moving picture actresses.

The Cast The big Talmadge production, "She Loves and Lies,' was filmed under the personal direction of Joseph M. Schenck. It was adapted by Chester Withey and Grant Carpenter from the Wilkie Collins story of the same name, and the work of the supporting cast is on the same high plane that characterizes the superb acting of lovely Norma Talmadge. Conway Tearle, whose fame as a dramatic star is second only to that of Norma herself, takes the part of Ernest Linsmore, the young husband, who thought he did not love his wife because she was too slow." Octavia Broske, a former Indianapolis girl, is another character South Bend folks will be especially interested in. In 'She Loves and Lies" this winsome Hoosier miss assumes the role of "Polly Poplar." Pay particular attention to this part, and you'll agree with hundreds of others that Miss Broske will soon be bl azoned forth to the world as a star in her own right. Ida Darling, as the aunt of Norma Talmadge, adds a touch of everyday humanness to the cast is admirably adapted for the part of the elderly lady who sees as the chief charm for a suitor a comfortable bank account. All in all, the cast is an ideal one. And you'll say when you sec this picture, it's Norma Talmad c in a much better play than cither "Daughter of Two Worlds" or "The Isle of Co nquesL
