THE LONESOME HEART
 AT ODEON THIS WEEK
Margarita Fischer in Latest Mutual Masterpiece Release-Sto of
 Orphans Life

'The Lonesome Heart" starring Mar garta Fishcher, will be seen at the odeon Two this week. It is fouf-part Mutual production, masterpiece, filled with in- tense heart interest. It tells of the trials of little orphan girl, who didn't like to wear big aprons and brown checks, and who wanted to be loved The matron at the orphange was not one who could love, and Samanthy got more blows than caresses.
 The situation became intolera ble. and she runs away. Spending the night among the pines, she dreams of d fairy prince, who comes to save her from the clutches Of the termagent matron She is awak- ened by the ping of bullet as 1t speeds by her ear and makes startled leap from her couch into the arms of youth who is hunting small game
 He takes her to his old nurse and wants to adopt her. His father sternly forblds 1t and sends her back to the asylum. Later the father relents and Samanthy gets home. and. what she most wanted, love.

cause of her display of force and tenn perament in it's portrayal. In addition to the moments of stress throughout the drama, which she enacts so effectively. we see her early charm, her delightful little girlish mannerisms, those ex- quisite little bits of comedy which she presents so inimtably, combined with a gentle pathos all developed arr tistically and with composite charm.
 The Famous Players Film company has produced many notable feature suc- cesses, but few even of it's superb pro- ductions can rank in charm and appeal with 'The Pretty Sister of Jose' The play has been set amid scenes of rare beauty. The color and glamor of old Madrid the environment of the drama s action are realistically depicted. Miss Clarks sympathetic impersonation of the central character is enhanced by the splendid portrayals of apparently carefully chosen company. Sebastano, the hero. impersonated by Rupert Julian. is a handsome young man, and disclosed a figure of youthful strength. Through out the entire production he acts earnest ly and sincerely. Jack Pickford, as Jose, the brother of the heroine. is charming and lends welcome touch of naive and heartfelt affection for his sister.

STELLAR PLAYERS
 IN LEGITIMATE PLAY
Jim, the Penman" to be Seen at the Odeon Two, With John
 Mason

For the first time in the history of fea- tnre film productions the leading man and woman of two contemporary Broadway successes appear in the supporting cast of a prominent legitimate star in the film version of a legitimate play This un- usual combination of stellar talent is in- cluded in the Famous Players ffe-part adoption of Him, the Penman,9 by Sir Charles l.. Young, which will he seen at the Oden Two this week. John Mason is starred as Jim"
 The two distinguished members of the
 cast in support of this star are Margue-
 rite Leslie. leading woman of the current
 stage triumph, "Outcast." and Frederick
 Perry, leading man of the dramatic sen- ga ation, "On Trial"
 When John Mason announced his in-
 tention of making his first appearance
 in motion pictures. in the renowned role of Jim Ralston," whose clever pen
 wrote the success of Sir Youngs greatest play, the news was received in theatrical
 and motion picture circles with some sur
 prise. as MT. Mason had previously re- fused many offers from leading film con | cerns. and his acceptance of the Famous | Players contract was judged as another l indication of the esteem In which that 1 concern is held by the foremost artists on the legitimate stage.
 The Famous Players have greatly ex- tended the interest of this notable dra ma by studied ampihcation of the stronger elemtns of the plot, which the wider scope of the screen made possible. and John Mason portrays a more interesting Jim Ralston than has ever been offered in any of the stage presentations of the famed character.
