"Wilfiower."

| That adorable, enchanting little star,
Marguerite Clark, has just completed
her first screen Characterization for
the Famous Players Film company,
which will be exhibited at the EN-
|press on Thursday and Friday OF this
week. The subject selected for this
dainty actress debut before the mo-
ton picture public is "Wildflower," a
delightful characterization by Mary
Germaine. The story deals with the
love of two brothers for the same
woman, always vitality interesting
theme, but in the present instance
magnified by the fortunate selection
Of Marguerite Clark for the portrayal
Of the principal character, the delicate
little forest flower.
The plot presents a pleasant and
dramatic contrast between the open
spaces of the wilds, and the narrow
streets and habits of the city. In both
elements, Wildflower goes through an
individual development, an advance
ment marked by the stress of anguish
and personal disaster, but lightened
occasionally by the freedom and re-
lief of her early environment in the
woods.
The brothers that WOO her are as
different as the settings about which
the story revolves. One is selfish,
Tougish, inconsiderate and evil; the
other is splendidly straightforward and
generous. The drama gains in sus-
pense and climatic value by reason of
the fact that the little untutored wild
flower, in the ignorance and innocence
of her ways, selects the worse man for
her mate. But. as the good will tri-
umph, in the final reckoning she
spurns the evil brother, having at last
discovered that his love was spurious,
and marries the other
'Wildflower' is a refreshing zephyr
from the wooded hills that form the
early abode OF the title character. 1t
transforms the screen into a mirror
in which is reflected the purity OF the
great outdoors and the shallowness of
human life. The production is mount
ed with splendid fidelity to the types
and the places that the story describes,
and the cast in support of Marguerite
Clark is consistent and capable, in
Guiding such we'll known photop}ayers
as Harold Lockwood. James Cooley and
e. l.. Davenport. The production is
in four reels.
