One of tlic greatest questions
which still baffle the thinking men
and women of this age is asked
'Th Inner V'nii'p " tllf titliitrtiil:i .
starring i.. is. i.mcom, which is to
be banner attraction at the Moon
theater this week.
The story which it tells i.i said o
be a powerful dramatic recital of
a man who gave unselfishly the best
that was in him to the world and in
return was overwhelmed with treach
ery, unfaithfulness anrl disgrace.
With his soul embittered against
his fcllownu-n, lie struggled upward
out of the depths, resolved to face
the world again and demand resti
tution.
Air. Lincoln in tin's-picture is sup
ported by a very large and capable
company of well-known players,
vl( h include Agrves Ayres, William
Rilty Hatch and Fuller Mellish. It
will be remembered that Mr. Mellisii
was for many years one of the best
Shakespearian actors on the Ameri
can stage and was with E. II. Soth
ern and Julia Marlowe until their
recent retirement.

Lovcable Cinderella is with us
again or rather her new twin sister,
whimsically appealing and sparkling
ly fresh. She will be seen at the Sun
theater this week when "Cinderella's
Twin" will be featured as the at
traction of the bill.
Which is cause for rejoicing.
For rumor hath it that this picture
is one delightful concoction with all
the old never-failing charm. And pi
quant little Viola Dana is there as
the star the Scullery maid who goes
straight into a 20th century mansion
to find the heart of the man she
loves.
It has twists aplenty, press sheets
say. One of them is the situation
where Connie McGill, the little maid,
suddenly has to flee the splendor
of a ballroom, and in the act drops
her shpner, which contained the key
to a safety vault holdincr the jewels
sought by thieves. Her Prince
Charming gets the slipper, and ar
rested into the bargain for the theft.
In the old story, a fairy godmoth
er does the trick; in the modern ver
sion, a gang of unscrupulous thieves
assist the little maid to see the bril
liant life. It tells of Connie who is
given., to dreaming, and has for her
hero a social light she saw photo
graphed in a magazine. Hjt dreams
come true, but only through a band
, of thieves, who make her a tool and
are later frustrated by her action.
Strand "Passion."
The meteoric rise of a petite
French milliner to the position of the
king's faj'.orite-and the subsequent
rebellion of the masses of people
from which she came. combine to
form the basis of what is proclaimed
one of the most extraordinary stories
ever projected on the screen in the
stiDer-drama. Passion. v.Mncn will
appear at the Strand theater this
week.
The performance offered by Pola j
Aegn, the famous continental star, in
this stellar role of such unique duali
ties is said to be one of the finest
characterizations ever achieved by
anv actress and it is recorded that '
whole audiences have arisen to their
feet and cheered her artistic triumphs
despite the fact that the character
she portrays is a peculiar mixture of
virtues and faults with latter for the
most part prevailing.
Tne coming engagement of Pas
sion" at the Strand theater will no
doubt be notable in more ways than
one, but. according to advance re
ports, one of the outstanding fea
tures is the introduction of Pola
Negri, the famous continental star,
as a screen artiste of the most c:;- I
ceptional ability. I
Most of the critics who have re
viewed tier work m tins mm arc
unanimous in the decision that she
has at one leap taken her place at
the head of the ranks, as an inter
preter of screen characters. It seems
she possesses an unusual inherent
abundance of dramatic fire which en
gages the admiration, and besides
she is accredited with cbing one of
the most beautiful of all women. It
is not flippant to add that a woman
of rare beauty is quite enough to at
tract attention without the addition
of zny particularly brilliant talents.

Prince Charming at closer ran"'
The development of a crude In
dian maiden, married for spite by
the dissolute son of an aristocratic
British family, into a beautiful cul
tured woman forms the theme of
"Behold My Wife," playing at the
Muse theater tomorrow and Tues
day. Mabel Julienne Scott and Mil
ton Sills are the stars.
' Wallace Reid in "Always Auda
cious," which shows Wednesday and
Thursday, enacts the experience of
a shanghaied millionaire who came
home a stranger. The picture is en
tirely of the Reid style.
Dorothy Gish in "Little Miss Re
bellion," at the Muse next Friday
and Saturday, plays, some light com
edy acting when she enacts the role
of a grand duchess who runs away
to play base ball with a gang of
American doughboys.
Rialto "The Love Light."
Movie fans have not forgotten
Mary Pickford.
Her charms remain in clear mem
ory among the millions who adored
her.
America's sweetheart is just a:
piquant and chic as ever in her latest
photoplay, "The Love Light," which
opens today at the Rialto theater.
The story is laid in Italy and Miss
Pickford selected the principal mem
bers of "her cast while abroad and
had them transported to Hollywood.
"The Love Light" is the story of
a little Italian girl in an Italian fish
ing village among the cliffs border
ing on the Mediterranean in north
ern Italy. How the little girl rc
sides over the family of her or
phaned brothers, how a great trag
edy comes into her life, the final
realization with its accompanying
sacrifice, makes not only an unusual
story for the screen, but is a startling
innovation for Mary Pickford herself.
Empress "The Mother and the
Law" and "The One-Man Trial."

Chic Film Star
Viola Dana, sprightly little screen
star, whose latest starring vehicle,
"Cinderella's Twin." will he shown at
the Sun theater .this week, is just
as much at home in the kitchen part
she portrays in the picture as in the
athletic life she mi much adoirs.
For he it known that the charming
little screen favorite is no novice
when it comes to ImdiiiK her way
among the pots and pans, whether it
he to concoct a good sulot.intial
dinner or just to prepare u delicate
little luncheon. In her picturrsiiue
home among the motion picture
colony in Hollywood, Cal., Miss
Dana frequently entertains her
friends with dainty repasts which she
has prepared herself.
When it conies to cooking Mi.s
Dana believes that every girl, wheth
er she be a .star or an "extra" should
he able to not only plan a dinner but
also be thoroughly competent to so
into the kitchen and make up t'rj
meal as she has planned it. "X
woman who can't cook," said Miss
Dana, "in my opinion is just about a
bad as a man who has to. depend
upon his valet to dress him."
