! Last ImmortaIized on the Screen.

One of the greatest character studio
ever contributed to the America
stage, David Harum, enacted for sew

William H. Crane, has at last beer
converted to the screen. William II
Crane makes his first appearance IL
motion pictures in this quaint portray
al in five part production of the Fa-
nous Players Film Co., on the Par
amount program.
The human note that is struck in
the early part of the production, and
maintained consistently throughout the
story, is the main strength of the sub

the play that have appeared in news
papers throughout the country it's hu-
man qualities ard fidelity to truth
have always been emphasized as the
dominant keynote OF the drama. 1t is
this lack Of. exsggeration in the types
and events depicted that make the
subject a yeritaDle page out Of the
book of life.

and a kindly heart that beats in SYM
pathy for all the rest of the world
who do good quietly and secretly, and
who sometimes bring about a pretty
David Harum creates for his two
young friends.
William H. Crane enacts the screen
portrayal of his noted role with all the
art and dramatic power that so dis
tinguished it on the stage. There are
moments in the play when the sheer
beauty OF the emotions displayed are
overpowering with that great effec-
hveness that comes only Of simplicity
