Tonight.
Pauline Frederic in two roles in
the game production. This Is the
first time that the great Famous Play
ers star. who recently appeared in
''Zszs" and Bella Donna" has ever
been seen On the screen in widely
different characte-izationa. In tina
Paramount picture. The Spider,
Miss Frederick plays Valerie St Cyr,
notorious Partisan beauty, and her
abandoned daughter, Joan Marche.
The one has fed with a profigate
noblenan, leaving her little baby with
it's sickly, poverty-stricken father.
The baby grows up TO be a beautiful
girl who Is employed in flower shop
She becomes engaged 10 Julian ST
Saens, a young artist OF very puri-
tanical principles who is drawn to
her by the girls total unsophistica-
ton and her rare beauty
Thus Mics Frederick is called upon
TO portray characters that are dis-
metrically opposed to each other and
must suggest the care-worn, weary
woman of the world who il tired OF
her foolish bargain while in the other
instance she is the innocent epitome
OF exuberant spirits, pulsing with the
mere jog of living. Though the in
depreciation Of such exacting roles
would be difficult task for the aver
age actress. no one who mas seen
Miss Frederick's previous perform
