ACTORS IN "THE LITTLE LTAR7
HAD To DO NIGHT WORK

Utilizing a downtown Los Angeles
department store for a number OF
scenes in 1.-THE Little Liar" a new
Triangle Fine Arts picture featuring
Mae Marsh and Robert Heron, the
members Of the cast were obliged TO
work at night in order to avoid the
customers visiting the store during
the shopping hours.
Mae Marsh, as a cash girl, Is accus.
ed OF the theft of number OF yards
OF lace from the big store, and be-
cause Of the fact that she is noted as
a "l'ttle lar" she is arrested and ta-
ken to Jail
The department store scenes are
among the lively bits of action in the
picture, and Carl Stockdale as a
thieving floor walker, does some ex-
cellent work In his role as the smooth
and oily manager Of the girls and
the sleek and polite aid Of a we'll
gowned shoplifter.
Complete IN all its details and vary
ing in its scenes from the department
store to the boarding house and
from the boarding house to the slums
and the Jail 'The Little Liar"
abounds all the way through in hu-
man interest and heart throhs.
Robert Heron. as the young news
paper reporter gives an excellent in
depreciation of his role. which he has
carefully studied by close association
with newspaper men and some actual
experience on a daily paper.
Mrs. Marsh has never appeared to
better advantage than as the little
"slavey" in the boarding house, who
dreams dreams and sees visions.
The story has an insistent appeal
both to the heart and mind and is, in
fact, one OF the most artistic pic
lures released lately from the Fine
Arts studio.
1.-THE Little Liar" Is the feature at
traction at the Temple Sunday and
Monday.

THE IRON CLAW

The Iron Claw" Is completed with
the release Of "The Triumph of the
Laugh'n Mask" and this the last ep-
isode OF the popular serial Is notable
both for the amount of action contain
ed in its two reels and the general
satisfaction the ending will afford its
many followers,
The mystery OF the Laughing Mask
!s solved at last and as one of the
many who have pondered the ques-
tion who is the Laughing Mask ?"
we must say that the unmaskipg Of
the Righter Of Wrongs is a most well
come incident. We agreed with one
of the detectives who in the end says
mo wonder we could not find the
Laughing Mask, he's a whole regi-
ment." And SO he is in the last chap
ter.
But the Mask himself assures the
detectives that he only became a reg.
iment toward the end, because he
was so crowded by events" In the
Triumph of the Laughing Mask" Le-
gar after escaping from the detec-
tives visits the house OF his accom-
plice, a scientist. The Claw opens
door after door and he is confronted
by Laughing Masks at every turn.
This astounding affair is explained
when the detectives arrest about eight
men all in the guise of the Wrong
RICHTER. The real Mask is cleared Of
the crimes he was accused Of and he
claims Margery as his reward. Le-
gar dies and his death is that which
villains usually come to. Margery Is
very happy. naturally, for the Mask,
her champion Is the jovial Davy, her
fathers former secretary.
The episode presents both amusing
comedy and vivid melodrama. The
production is as usual excellent and
Cheighton Hale, Pearl White and
Sheldon Lewis give performances
which compare with their work all
through the other nineteen episodes.
