Margarita Fischer
Had Steady Rise
To Fame as a Star
She Has the Rare Combination of
Youth, Radiant Beauty
and Talent.

Since her debut in whitening
Roses" the first play produced by the
Beauty Company at the American
studios, Margarita Fischer has been
the center Of affectionate interest for
thousands of photoplay goers all over
the country. Every leading woman
in films has her admirers-but there
is something about Miss Fischer that
makes everybody love her. Old peo-
pie love her; young folks lose their
hearts to her, and children worship
and adore her.
OF course, she is beautiful-yes. ra-
dainty beautiful And she is young.
She is the spirit of youth itself She
has that wonderful gift called charm,
and she is overlooking with life and
animation. But, more than all these,
she has the abiding spellbinding ge-
MUS of loneliness.
This very young girl, with the bril-
liant brunette coloring, and the mo-
bile face, seems to sympathize with
the whole world She can play any
kind of emotional role, from the tragic
tc the pathetic one wonders how,
in her short life, she could have
learned to feel and understand so
much and 50 deeply. Dramatic eX-
preston, however. seems to have been
native TO her since early childhood.
Margarita was born in a small town
in the Middle West, where she went
to school and played with other chill
dren. and did not dream Of any life
beyond her home and the village
until Il travelling dramatic company
came to the place and changed all
this The manager needed child TO
take a part in his performance and,
attracted by the beauty and vivaclty
Of little Margarita, he persuaded her
father to let her appear in the piece,
Her talent was so unmistakable that
Mr.. Fischer then and there deter
mined to form a company and star
his wonderful little daughter as Babe
Fischer"

'AROMANY SPY.'
PATHEPLAYLET,
GREAT PICTURE
Summit Of Silent Screen Produc-
ton Is Attained-To Be Seen
in Atlanta.

A more finely finished production
than Pathe's latest playlet "A Roman
Spy" will be hard TO find all the ele-
ments OF a great and striking success
are present in happy and harmonious
combination which positive state
ments will receive corroborative proof
i'm concrete form when this intensely
interesting story is offered in the
near future to our motion picture ha
bitues by the General Film Company.
The picture is the result, or better,
the accomplishment, of a deliberate
and carefully executed plan to attain
a summit in silent screen production
through equally strict attention be-
ing paid to every one Of the elements
that enters into the making of this
photoplay masterpiece. Photographic
merit is not relied upon to atone for
Carelessness of costume; splendor OF
scenery is not employed to blind the
spectator to mediocrity of acting, nor
is Il star summoned to bear the bur
den OF second-rate production.
Quite the contrary, the intieXible law
as invoked in the instance of this par
ticular production is that plot, cos
tuning, photography. scenery. acting
and historic accuracy shall be all that
human ingenuity and superior direc-
torship can make them.
Briefly, the story concerns the re-
peated attempts of spy who has
been commissioned to secure the plans
of a fortress by stealth, and who,
meeting with Karola, an attractive
gypsy, Immediately detects in her an
invaluable ally.
