MARGUERITE CLARK
 AT THE STRAND TO-DAY

For the first time in it's history the motion picture screen is to reflect the humor and pathos of the incomparable Mark Twain, when the Famous Play CTS Film company stars, Marguerite Clark, in it's superb adaptation of "The Prince and the Pauper," through the Paramount Pictures corporation
 Though The Prince and the Paul stage and in this form of public pre- sentation has been extremely success ful, the limitations of the theatre made 1t always necessary to so construct the story that only each of the characters -either the price or the pauper--should appear on the scene at one time, as both roles were invariably played by the same person, due to the necessity for the resemblance between the two characters, so vital to the story
 In the film version this difficulty is entirely obviated by the use of the dou- ble exposure, Miss Clark appearing on the screen in both characters simul- taneously. Realinzing that the double exposure, merely for its own sake, has long since ceased to interest the pub lie, Edwin S Porter and Hugh Ford who collaborated in the screen produc- tlof nave introduced the trlck camera work only where Mark Twain'S story makes it absolutely essential. In these instances, however, it has been used with rare effect and has given Miss Clark one of the best opportunities she has ever had of displaying her remark able versatility under the most exact Ing conditions.
 The production is conceived and exc cuted in the same spirit that so dis tinguished Mark Twain's tale the de- 1cious descriptive qualities of which have been adhered to as accurately as human ingenuity renders possible. It is sumptuously exquisite and yet rarely simple, playing over the lights and shades with the masters touch.
 In support of Miss Clark there ap- pear Robert Broderick, William Sorelle, William Burrows, William Frederick and other well known players.

on the head and does not recover his own personality for five years.
 Then he awakes in Pullman car ard on looking at a paper finds that he has no memory of the time that has passed. He puts on the clothes he has with him and which shock him by their sportive and loud appearance He goes to a lively hotel and is greeted as an old acquaintance, MT. Brassfield, by the clerk.
 On going to his room he discovers g. letter couched in endearing language from an unknown woman. Mortified and yet anxious to know what he had been doing during the five years since he had received the blow on his head, he goes to a clairvoyant. He is put into q trance and resumes the personality of Brassfied. It seems that after he came to consciousness five years before he had become an aggressive business man. He had also become a power in politics in Bakerstown and was running for mayor. He had become engaged to Elizabeth Waldron (Marjorie Wilsom and had also cultivated the acquaintance of a girl familiarly known as Strawberry Gladys BrockwelD.
 As Erassfield, Fairbanks shocks his friend Judge Blodgett, and the clair voyant because of his many love af- fairs and his corrupt ways in business and in politics. He is therefore trans formed again into the respectable Amidon. But Amidon is unsuccessful because of his retiring and unaggressive ways, and in order to save the business Brassfield is again brought onto the scene.
 Fairbanks appears very strong and forceful both in love and business as the masterful Brasstield. However. when Brassfield begins to play fast and loose with his fiancee and neglects her for other women and also causes diaster to a poor family by casting the head of it into jail because of fear of ex- posture the trance medium again trans forms him to Amidon. Finally the two characters blend into one, so that Fair banks possesses the good qualities of Amidon, but gains the aggressive and strong ability of. Brassfield.
 This leads to his reconciliation with his sweetheart and also to his break ing away from the corrupt influences that had made him mayor of Bakers town.
