TANE NOVAK hired a freat fur
coat when ahe went into the
v mountains to ba filmed In "Man's
Desire." There came a great bliz
sard. The entire company was held
captive in two cabins. In a short
tima Miss Novak had one of them
all to herself. She wondered why.
The reason was that the coat had
not been properly cured. In fact,
it seemed to be quite ill.

"You, my son's wife? Preposterous! Why, we are the Fuller-tons-r-and

So thought the wealthy Mrs. Fullerton, but Ellen Neal proved herself to
be of as fine a mold as they of a finer mold in fact for when it came to the
supreme test she proved to be pure gold.
Here's an Honest Heart to tieart Talk
Personally think "Common Clay" one of the greatest and strongest dramas of
human frailty ever pictured. The photoplay is too powerful and loo varied to be re
lated here and do it justice, but it is enough to say, a story is presented of the greatest
dramatic potter. ,
It is a woman's play through and through, pulsating with' feeling which stirs the
'deeper emotions and digs beneath the skin.
Although a delicate question is dealt with, at no time does it prove offensive;
Vfhatever offense might be conveyed by such a story in an ordinary picture is thrown
in the background in this one by the intense human appeal.

principles, Marion Roche (Miss Frederick.)

NAZIMOVA
A WONDER
NAZIMOVA has achieved at
added triumph in her latest
screen production, "Out 01
the Fog," which will be shown at
the Rialto theater this week. Thil
play is an adaptation for the screes
from her stage success, "Ception
Shoals," noted for the intensity oi
its dramatic situations.
Madame Nazimova is known at
the woman of a thousand moods and
her art is as great in (light fantastic
or whimsical momenta as it is in
the heavy emotional drama. Sh
was born in the Russian Crimea, in
a little town on the shores of th
Black sea, but was educated In Gen
eva, where she decided on the ca
reer of a violinist and studied ac
cordingly. She made her first pub
lie appearance at the age of 12 at a
concert in her native town, but it
was not long after this that she gav
up music for the drama. She studied
under the great Stanislawsky, who
considered her an artist of great
ability even at an early age. As
leading woman in a Russian stock
company she played more than 200
parts.
Since coming to America Naii
mova has played in both Russian
and English and is known for hei
great characterizations in the lead,
ing roles of "The Doll's House,"
"Hedda Gabler," and "Little Eyolf."
Like other noted artists she hat
grown to prefer the screen to th
stage and devotes most of her timt
to the splendid work for which het
name has become famous here and
abroad. Her work in "Revelation,"
"Toys of Fate," and "Eye for Eye,"
has set a higher plane for motion
picture achievement than has hither
to been reached by any other screen
star, and ."Out of the Foe" shows
that her art is infinite.
Albert Capellani, the distinguished
Frenchman who directed this pic
ture, also made the screen adapta
tion from H. Austin Adams' '"Cep
tion Shoals," with the collaboration
of June Mathis.
Fannie Ward, Pathe star, who
has achieved new honors in "Com
mon Qay," in which she appears
at the Strand this week, was born in
St Louis. She is the dauehtpr of
the late John Buchanan. When she
was a child, Miss Ward made her
debut as "Cupid" in "Pippine." In
England on a vacation. Miss Ward
became acquainted with Georce
Edwardes, the manager, and im
pressed bv her beautv and charm.
he offered her an engagement which
she accepted. Her first appearance
abroad was in "The Shop Girl,"
produced at the Gaiety in London.
She achieved considerable publicity
by reason of her marriao-n tn
Joseph Lewis, a wealthy South.
African mine operator. On her re
turn to America, Miss Ward was
heralded as a star of first
tude on the legitimate stage and
attained wide popularity in New
York. Great as was her success on
the speaking stage, even more bril
liant has been her career on the
screen. More notable h
been her appearance in the produc
tions of "Inocent" and "The Yellow
Tlckf.',' "A JaPane Nightingale"
and "The Narrow Path."
Mary Miles Winter, who innnin
at the Sun today in "The Intrusion
or lsaoei,' is one of the champion
players of tennis on the Pacific
coast.
Despite her hard work as m n v i e
star, Miss Minter finds time daily
to engage in a favorite pastime. Not
only is Miss Minter a chamnion ten
nis player, but she is also a cham
pion kntter of sweaters for boys
"over there," having delivered a
number of woolen sweaters to the
Red Cross organization.
Movie fans love Marv MiTc

She likes to knit for the soldiers.
She likes to read the novels of
Sir Walter Scott.
She likes to drive her own car no

read "One Week of Life" in a maga-v

her use. But it isn't a detective

At a spot about 14 miles north
of Miami, in Arch Creek, there., is
a natural stone bridge crossing the
Brackish river at a height of nearly
30 feet. Mr. Farnum's assignment
consisted of having a fight with can
nibals on the hank of the river, flee
ing to the bridge, making a 30-food
dive into the river, and swimming
under water to "safety."
This dive in itself probably wou'd
have been enough to dampen the
ardor of the average actor, but it
was made especially thrilling for
Mr, Farnum because of the infor
mation reaching him, quite acci
dentally, just prior to the dive, that
the sluggish river was inhabited by
alligators.

feature picture at the Sun theater
