G6 Lri" rl ds Adapted from the Famous Novel by JAMES M. BARRIE It Is Hard to Imagine a Better Combination Than 8 8 9 8 a 5 8 8 ft 1 a 3 ill and JAMES MORRISON Simplicity and charm stamp the Vitagraph production as one of the biggest pictures of the year. It is to the screen what James M.

Barrie's story is to literature, and seldom does the spectator find a film version of a famous book that adheres so clpsely to the story as outlined by the author, as does this Vitagraph production nor could a cast be selected which was better suited to the characters described in the story than that engaged for this production. Nothing has been left undone to give the production the atmosphere of the Scotch hamlet of Thrums. The thatched roofs, the whitewashed walls, the simple country folk, and even the red-coated soldiers are all true to life. Alice Calhoun, a rising star, who has rapidly come to the forefront in screen productions, has never had a role in which she adequately illustrated her ability as an actress. Her personality, her physical fitness, her charm lend themselves well to the character of Lady Babbie.

She is a living embodi- ment of the heroine in James M. Barrie's story. The scene where she matches her wits with those of the little minister, the role assumed by James Morrison, whose work as a screen playeris well known, is exceptionally good. Her struggle with Rob Dow, village drunkard, a role assumed by William McCall, is one of the most realistic pieces of acting ever presented on th screen PY Also -U, 2TlkX Vg lAmdiA, XJLi 11:" II -TT'TiLJrTW- 2-ReeI Vitagraph I i. ir.iiJ li COMEDV I I 4WTfL.
