A child marvel Is little Edith Roberta. Where did she learn to act? Who taught her tho exact expression and shades of expression with which to put emotion over on the screen? She's but 18 yt-ars old now. Hut not only does she seem possessed of an absolutely unerring sense of drama; she also possesses a wonderful sense of comedy. Miss Roberts is seen at the Su-perba this week in "The Fire Cat," which is as chock full of thrills as a Christmas pudding is of plums. There Is a volcatio, obligingly performing in the interest of the drama and reallv mightily realistic, and there Is an earthquake in which, surprising as this may appear in a cinema drama, the outside of the buildings as well as the lnnlde are seen to rock, and there is a rufilan dying uniquely with a tarantula biting his homely fuee.
