"The DiviIs Needle" does not deal
with the drug traffic. 1t only shows
the results of morphine upon its VIC
tins, and the ones that are near ana
dear to them. The habit is the key
note of the plot and forms the con-
Meeting link to all the situations That
make up this well told story.
Tully Marshall has the role of an
artist whose genius as portrait
painter has given him both wealth and
social position. Norma Talmadge Is
seen as his favorite model. The two
are close friends and good comrades.
AS victim of the needle" she in
duces the artist to use morphine as
stimulant, and the habit becomes fas-
tened upon him. After his marriage to
a society girl his vice is discovered by
her and in an attempt to save him she
nearly loses her life. In the meantime
the model has conquered the habit.
seeks to save the artist and after res
cuing his wife from den, she sue
ceeds in bringing about his reform.
Mr. Marshall is considered the best
character actor in types of this sort
both on the stage and on the screen.
He does not use any facial make up as
his taste in costume and his extra
ordinary command of expression make
his portrayals perfect. For proof re-
call his work in "Martha's Vindica-
ton" Sable Lorca," or if they are too
old the French Apache in "A Child of
the Paris Streets. ADV.
