SPENCER SQUARE.

SRENtER SUI 4 RE.
Nance O'Neil, she of the vital per-
sonality and compelling magnetism, is
a notable recruit to the motion pic
ture stage, and like dozens of other
great and we'll known dramatic stars
she has chosen to enter the photo
dramatic field under the banner of
William Fox,
The new vehicle in which Miss
0'Neil is seen under the William Fox
management and which is more pow
erful and thrillingly dramatic than
even other successes. Kreutzer So
nata, Princess Romanoff, etc, produc-
ed by Frank Powell, has been named
"a Woman's Past" and will be shown
at the Spencer Square tomorrow and
Friday. In discussing her art recent
ly Miss O'Neil said:
Il believe it is possible to make
people feel and suffer with you on the
screen Just as it is possible upon the
speaking stage. This wonderful new
art-for it is new-appeals to me with
singular power 1t appeals for this
reason; that dramatic artists now
have medium of expression different
and far broader than the so-called
legitimate stage. So intensely do l
live every moment that I work for the
screen that it became a saying In the
William Fox studios that Nance
O'Neil has lost her voice playing for
the pictures Seriously speaking,
though, continued Miss O'Neil, II
think / may lay claim to being the
first actress 10 discover that Sincerity
is the most important thing upon the
screen just as it is in real life and
upon the stage. The screen, however.
is quicker to detect hypocrisy and
what / may term, for want of better
word, 'faking,' than is the speaking
stage"
