"slum butcher shops" he said are
very interesting, especially on Sdtur-
day night, when the Sunday meat is being
bought.
"once in The New cut stopped be-
fore a dreadful looking stall Of meat
There was platter OF particularly vile
stuff called selected bits These selected
bits the butcher was Offering TO an old

this was too high.

The Bankers Daughter' is the latest
melodrama 10 he lifted from ifs quiet re-
pose and given a new lease on Ere
through The medium Of motion pictures.
1t is with a five-part production of this
work that the Life Photo Film Corpora
ton makes its debut. THE Banker s
Daughter" was written by the late Bron-
son Howard. and is one of those good
old-fash.oncd melodramas in which there
are two marriages for money, two tatal
duels a quarrel at the Embassy Ball and
a reconciliation between a man and his
wife brought about by little child.
The film production shows strange
combination Of good and bad elements.
In preparing a picture Of the proportions
NJ this one q most careful attention 10
details is essential This fact has been
overlooked by the producers Of The
Bankers Daughter" For instance When
certain characters are supposed TO be en-
gagged I'm deer hunting in Maine they are
armed with shotguns Of assorted types.
There has been much
comment OF late about the cheap quarters
which our ambassadors are compelled TO
OCCUPY in the great capitals OF Europe
but certainly the worst OF them was never
so impossibly bad as the scenes supposed
TO depict a ball at the American Embassy
in Paris. On the other hand the sun par
Tor and nursery scenes in the StTe0eIow
home are delightful. Which suggests that
the faults occur where the director
tackled situations with which he Is en-
tirely unacQuainted.
katherine La Sale, who is tn. under
studv for Florence Reed in THE Yellow
TICKET" plays the title role. She handles
the part with sympathy ana discrcuoh'
but is handicapped by the fact mat u
this particular instance. she IS lacking u,
in screen presence and by the hackne: ca
nature OF the story. The picture Is oes-
tined for the Fox Theatres Tor lis local

The inhabitants OF New York City are
for the most part quite unfamiliar with
the appearance OF the great woods OF the
North in their winter beauty. The
glmpses OF this region which appear in
the All star version of Pierre of the
Plains are sufficient to make the pct
ure worth while even if there were no
story. With the added interest Of Edgar
Selwyn's exciting plot and the presence
Of the author-act himself in the title
role it becomes a fascinating production.
Pierre Of the Plains" is just the sort
Of play which is suited for motion picture
exploitation. In it is none Of your prob
lem dramas. or so-called studies OF
psychology. but a red FLOODED story Of
events that occur when two strong men
stand face to face II is rife with
action
In the course OF several seasons Mr.
Selwyns work has appeared in almost
every city in this country, and the beauty
Of it's settings has always been an at
tractive feature Good as they were
they seem cheap and tawdry compared TO
the wonderful beauty OF this film produc-
ton. The strongest superlatives are none
too strong, as any one who has ever seen
the beauty OF the North Woods in winter
knows, because the scenes are real, and
being real must he beautiful. BY the
use Of correct properties the producers
have taken full advantage Of the splendid
setting provided by Nature.
MIR Selwyn demonstrates that the sue
cessful legitimate actor can deport him
self before the camera with credit. even
without much experience. There are
few scenes which a screen artist would
have handled with more polish, but they
are for the most part unimportant. \
particularly finished piece OF acting was
the work OF Dorothy Dalton as Jen.
William Conklin as Durkin, and William
RILEY Hatch as Peter Galoraith also
handled their parts well.
pierre of the Plains will be seen
shortly in the Fox theatres. and will be.
in all probability, at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre also.
