STAR
 IN SCREEN DEBUT First Photoplay Grants Inimitable Broadway Musical Star Wonder ful Opportunity of Giving
 Vent to Latent Talents.

Little Ann Pennington, enc of the smallest stars who ever created screen sensation in the theatrical world, makes her photo dramatic de- but in Susie Snowflake" Para mount picture produced by the Fam ous Players.
 The story has to do with three sis ters living in a Quaker-like village. where everything is peaceful and quiet. One of the three, Susie, unlike her sisters, is inclined to merriment and cannot bear the atmosphere of the town. She is attracted to young actor who is playing in the village and finally consents to elope with him. So shocking is this act to her family that her fathers death is the result.
 Shortly after the birth of her daugh- ter, Susie dies, but her work on the stage is continued by the child. Brought up in this environment, the child becomes great success as a dancer, but unfortunately, even her genuine ability could not prevent the show from going on the rocks, and the little star finds herself stranded. Her spinster aunts, who have always cher ished a sense of holy horror towards her mother, are induced finally to re- ceive her in their home, but the res possibility is one which would send shivers up and down the psine of an iceberg, if it possessed one. Poor lit tie Susie, in her efforts to be pleasing, shocks her maiden aunts beyond ex- pression, and incurs their wrath by becoming fondly attached to youth, for whose character they entertain nothing but the most profound con- tempt.
 Since the death of her grandfather, her auntS have consumed all of their estate; moreover, they have never en- tered the room in which he died. Susie, one day anxious to see the only portrait of her mother, takes it from the wall, back of which she finds a secret cavity in the wall, and discov- CTS the money hidden by her grand father. Free from debt, the aunts re- joicingly allow her to marry the man of her heart.
 Little Susie is restored to her form CT good standing in the village, when, at the risk of her own life, she saves the daughter of woman of influence, and brings her back to life.
