and Monday.
What Marguerite Clark lacks in
stature she more than makes UP for
in charm and ability. The little Fa-
nous Players star has given many in
imitable administrations to the mo-
ton picture screen since her deser-
ton Of the stage, among the more re-
cent Of which are Nesta in "Still Wat
ers,'' and the dual title roles of the
| adaptation of Mark Twain's master
piece, The Prince and the Pauper.'
in which she proved that she could
make sturdy little boy when the
occasion demanded as we'll as the
most exquisitely delightful little girls
Of all ages, for the presentation of
which she has become famous.
Now Miss Clark has added to her
accomplishments the role of Peggy in
the adaptation Of Madeleine Lucette
Ryley's celebrated play, "Mice anu
Men," which is the Paramount picture
at the Grand tonight and Monday.
With the name of Peggy, are asso-
ciated the performances of such dis.
tinguished actresses as Annie Russell
and Lady Gertrude Forbes Robertson,
who presented the play in New York
and London, respectively.
In order to invest the production
with the proper southern atmosphere,
inasmuch as the scene Of the play is
laid in the south, the Famous Play
ers sent Miss Clark and supporting
cast to Savannah, Ca, under the direc-
ton of J. Searle Dawley. Here every
phase OF southern atmosphere is de-
veloped to the utmost. In New York,
or in any northern city, it is easy
for the film man to catch an occasion
al view that will suggest the south,
but there IS no northern metropolis
or suburb that will give the real south
ern flavor to the photoplay like one
of the real old southern cities, such
as Savannah.
There will be candy matinees Mon
day at 2:3O and 4:00.-Advertiseme
