I STORE iOOWNLK STRIKING TYPES IN BIO HE Yitualixat ions of some BBttSUal eharacter types are a feature of the big Clune cinema drama, "The Eyes of the World." coming to the Tar mcle, starting next Thursday. Har old Bell Wright's novel, on which the photo production is founded, is rich in types, and the utmost care has been used in the recrerition of these for the screen. It has been asserted that there is not a hackneyed character iu '"The Eyes of the "World." and the story is both, idyllic and melodramatic, but its melodrama is of the finest type. Particularly in the drav. iug ot Sybil, the mountain girl; Id Grange, the novelist; Taine. the physic; I wreck of a misspent life, and Henry Marsten, the convict, has the auth or shown his unusual powers of characterization. The burncd-out roue, Taine. contrasts strongly with the ingeniuos young artist. Aaron King, ambitious for fame, but who is on the point of debasing his tal ents tor the easy way to success and becomes the shining mark for a designing woman. Then there is Conrad LeGraUJ . the Cynical story-writer, who con fesses that he 'haunts the intellec tual slaughter-pens" for material lor his "successful" stories, but iti whose heart stUl burns many of the kindly sentiments of his earlier days. Again, there is James Etatt lidge. the bull-necked art critic. Plattsmouth Garage! J. E. MASON, Proprietor Agents for Reo Ccxrs, SM Trucks and Cleveland Tractors THE CAR FOR SERVICE!
