THAT MOTHS PICTURE
Il ID Charming Photpp1ay Of . Great
Old Book.

The film picture Moths" being
played at the Cory Wednesday and to-
day. II from Ouida's book Of that
name. It was written fifteen or TWEEN
ty years ago and Il little known conn
pared to this authors Under Two
Flags. 'Pascarel." Dog Of Flanders
and others, but to a few folks "Moths''
Il her greatest book. She was q brill
liant writer. was Ouida, and had a
large following and her books are pop
ular still. but her novels were gener-
ally overdrawn, rather mushy and In
clined to gush. Yet in her book
Moths she told a grand story grand
~ and created q character in Correze,
the singer. and in We're. the English
girl. that Will always last in the minds
OF those who read the book. The girls
mother marries her to a notorious
Russian prince. The girl We're loves
Correze. The mother makes hol
daughter believe that the prince holds
her interruptions scheme. The prince
IL brute and banishes his wife to
Poland because she won't receive a
certain duchess. Correze fights the
prince q duel and IL wounded. We're
goes to Correze. The prince divorces
We're. and the singer and the English
girl live happy ever after.
Looks like the same old love plot
and thrills and villain and Bertha Clay
stuff. but it Is not. That old story IL
a gem. The different descriptions of
Correze'8 singing are masterpieces of
literature that none of the authors
writing today can touch. The charac-
ter. Of We're would serve as q model
for the greatest of love stories. There
never was a finer hero than Correze.
There never was a meaner villain than
the prince Zouroff. And vere's moth
er is the worst type of vain, silly,
worshipper of society's idol portrayed
by any writer. And the manner of
the telling of the tale, 1t is like the
rose scents waited from the romances
Of long ago.
This moving picture just gives a
glimpse of the pictures in the book.
yet it was a great delight to a few
people who had loved that story in
their youth. The photop1ayers are
paying more and more attention to old
books in their search for plots for
plays, and they do well in this. The
pictures Of the scenes and living char
acters from the books we used to read
over and over again in the days that
have gone are like the pictures in the
magician's crystal ball. These film
men, they raise the dead and make the
blind see and turn time backward in
it's flight.
The Moths" pictures at the Cozy

tator at the theater this afternoon

vorite character Correze in the flesh
