Pueilists Take Prominent Part in ''The
Heart of Kathleen.
Irene Warfeld is fast making friends
among motion picture patrons. Her
beauty and charm and artistic perform
ances go straight to the heart and mind
of all who witness her work on the
screen.
Therefore the news that she has scored
a fresh triumph in a new photodrama
will be received with interest. 1t is
Essanay's two-part feature, The Pay
As-You-Enter' Man." which is undoubt-
edly a Photographic masterpiece. It con
tains a heart interest story with a vein
of light comedy, just sufficient to furnish
the contrasting lights and shadows.
Much credit is also due to Richard
TraFers, who portrays the role of Henry
Rosser in this exceptional dramatic at
traction. Henry Rosser is a man who
has worked at the silk counter Of a big
department store for twenty years, this
service being rewarded by the large"
salary Of $40 a week. On this sum he
has managed to buy a tiny house in the
suburbs and raise a healthy brood of
children-on $50 a week.
The family, the children especially,
look forward to the Day of Thanks with
anticipation and pleasure. But the
father does not know where the turkey
is coming from, because there are in
Vulnerable small things that take money
pressing him, and also a payment upon
the house. The eve of their holiday,
while on his way to the ferry, going
home. he accidentally meets a friend COM
ing from a saloon, the friend has under
his arm a large gObbler, which he ex-
plains to Henry that he has Just won.
This gives Henry an idea, and on the
SOUR of the moment he goes in and takes
a chance on the next rattle. He wins,

the long patient and suffering father as
he is thrust into cell to spend a night
of misery. Consider the little family
which not only viii lose its holiday din

mother suffers. What happens! A

out Much to his surprise, Mr.. Strauss
man, his employer, does bail him out, and
not only that, gives him $50 and tells
him that he viii see that his salary Isl
substantially raised and sends him on his
way home rejoicing.
J. ". Anderson, brother of the one
and only 'BronchO Billy" Anderson, has
made q hit as a comedian, and if all that
one hears at the Western Essanay Studio
is genuine, no one is more surprised
predicted that his quaint appearance and
drOH actions are going TO be a valuable
asset IN future pictures, and already they
are saying that a successor TO "AlkaI'
Ike has been found. The new discovery
is taking his new honors modestly and IS,
as a matter of fact, half scared to death
in the pictures, though you'd never know

''Ihe Alabama" Producer E. II. Calvert
took company of Essanay players, in

That Thomas a. Ince, Managing
Director Of the New York Motion Pic
ture Corporation, believes IN injecting as
much realism as possible IN the picture
that he has under his direction, was
manifest when just before he started
working on the Domino photOplays,
fsI'he Heart of Kathleen" and widow
Maloney's Faith" he took a trip up to
San Francisco and brought back to
Santa Monica two pugilists, known for
their ability IN assimilating punches on
the Jaw. They were used since in the
aforementioned plays IN conjunction
with Richard Stanton.
Stanton is a boxer of no mean ability
and in scenes where he is to use his
hands or put up his dukes Mr.. Ince
has had quite a little trouble, for the
actors refused to go on, as Stanton cam
not seem to acquire the habit of pull
ing" his punches.
In ''The Heart of Kathleen" Stanton,
as the hero, IS upon the scaffOld about
to be hung, when suddenly he starts
swinging right and left, and each of the
TWO brulSerS. acting as guards, take one
on the jaw and go down for the count.
In one of the scenes in Widow Ma
loney's Faith Stanton mixes It up with
& roOmfull. and here the pUgilists, taking
parts Of Irish lads, take some pretty
wallops before they go down. It is just
little details like these that has made
Thomas Ince the peer of all motion pic
ture directors.
''My Movie Girl" a new and very
pretty song, the words by g. Warren

a grace and a swing to it that have won
the favor of every one who has heard
it. and this favor promises to become
widespread.
