WHEN "Mrs. W-ggs of the
C'abbapc Tatch," written by
Alice Hegan Rice, was pub-ii-.hed,
the beauty of the story creat
rd a profound impression. It speed
ily asserted its superiority, and is
today lookedjipon as one of the best
sellers in the literary world. This
splendid story has been picturized
as a stnrr'ng vehicle for Marguerite
( lark, and it will be shown at the
kialto theater next week. The
book was dramatized by Ann Craw
lord FIcxner, and presented with
great success at the Savoy theater
in New York on September 3, 1904.
Tu the pictnrization, the best points
of the novel and the play have been
incorporated with signal results by
, I've I'nsell, while the picture was
directrd by Jlugh I' on!, who by a
:oincYienre. directed the production
of the play.
In "Mrs. Wigjjs of the Cabbage
Patch." Miss Clark portrays the
role of Lovey Mary, a monitor in
5ii orphanage in whose care is
t';iced a child, of whose parents she
a ignorant, and whom she loves as
brother. This child subsequently
is the relitra! figure of an interest
ing story, the development of which
nrovokes many dramatic situations,
and of which Miss (. lark makes the
liiost. iaioth Hughes, plays op
posite hor as Billy W'iggs; Mary
t'nrr is Mrs. Wiggs. and Vivian Og-U-ii
has the role of Tahitha Hazy.

Stv;v;il large herds of cattle lend
realism besides playing no small
part in Louis I'.cniiison's newest pic
ture, "Sandy Burke of the U-Bar-l
'," which will be presented 'at the
Muse theater today. Handling the
hundreds of steers to permit of their
being photographed properly Ben
nison once again proved himself a
true son of the west. Kaised'on a
ranch near the border between
northern California and Nevada,
where he was sent for his health
when a spindly youth, Bcnnison
soon acquired an intimate knowl
edge of the cowboy and his ways,
lie not only learned to ride, rope
and handle a revolver with the
familiarity of a sleight-of-hand man,
but absorbed the very atmosphere
of the range. Bennison's years of
experience in the handling of cattle
during this youth surely stood him
in rood stead in the staging of
"Safuly Burke of the U-Bar-U.".
