It looka very much as If the Ho'lywood film colony will have to suspend activities shortly to do even a greater bit than they hava been, and are doing for their country.

Locke's popular novel by Frances Marion. In this screen play thee are two Mary Pickfordj, or, to be jxact, Mary Pickford in two different char acters of extreme contrast. This is the first time that "Our Mary'' has ever experienced the feelins o co tarring with herself, and that she en joys the novelty is evident. In the part of Stella Maris Mary ppetrs as we know her best a ocau tiful child with long curls and pirtty frocks. Living in a home of wealth, surrounded by every luxury and with the tender care of a circle of friends who worship her, the charade is eimilar to those which have disclosed ber best efforts in the past. Unity Blake, however, is a icrt which shows Mary as we have never eea her before. With curls strait ened. out and hair braided dewn against a dirty face and ove- a hunched shoulder, the unattnttive Unity, slave of an orphanage, is as different fr6m pretty Stella as the cactus is unlike the rose.

The production of "S.ella Maris" was in the hands of Marshall Neilan, the youthful director whose artistic presentation of recent Mary Pickford photoplays had much t) do with their success. It will be pre sented at the Strand for five days, starting Tuesday. Hate hate that knows no bounds is what Ralph Lewis has succeed ed in arousing in his remarkable de lineation of the character of lohn Dowlin in "Cheating the Public," to be shown at the Muse for three days, starting today. Some of the greatest effects in the production are due to the re markable character drawing done by members of the all-star cast, and Mr. Lewis has more than performed his share in this respect. He plays the part of a man of greed a man whose sole thought in life is of mak ing money who lives on the profits he squeezes from the public and from his own workefs a mean, ed ucated, despicable, refined, dom ineering, heartless brute who dresses well and eats like a glutton while his employes go around in rags and never get away from the verge of starvation. Contrasted with this is the char acter of the 'factory girl, Mary Gar; vin, as interpreted by Enid Markey. She typifies unselfishness. Having suf fered the bitterness of keen cut ting poverty, she is sympathetic. Her heart goes out to her fellow em ployes and particularly to the chil dren. Indeed, she loses her posi tion because of befriending a help less cripple. Her thought always is of others, although burdens far ex ceeding her physical strength to bear, and almost over-taxing her amazing courage, are heaped upon her own shoulders. Every one of the characters is strongly individualized, even to the children, who are "just themselves." Every one of them represents a phase or phases of human nature. And it is this, in large part, that makes the production most remark able melodrama. Nothing Left. Recently an esteemed citizen drop ped Into a tonsorlal establishment to have his alfalfa reaped, and being aomewhat weary, he soon fell asleep. For some minutes the barber made valiant attempts to proceed, but final ly he paused and gently shook the man In the chair. "Excuse me, sir," he said, "but would you mind coming out of your trance for a little while. I find It im. possible to shave you while you are asleep." "Impossible to shave me while I am asleep!" responded the customer, wonderingly. "Why ia tt impossi ble?" "Because," explained the barber as softly aa possible, "when you fall In to slumber your mouth opens so wide that I cannot find your face." Dayton (O.) News.
