|PSYCHO-ANALYS|S SUB.
JECT OF NEW PICTURE
To Be Seen At Star Theatre. Sunday
October Is.

Psycho-analysis, branch of psy-
chology which of recent wears has
been the earnest study of learned
men in this country and Europe. but
which until recently had never been
placed before the public because of
the lack of definite results, Is used
as the theme for "Milestone's of Lifeo
four-part Mutual Masterpicture pro-
duced at the Thanhouser studios in
New Rochelle, N. Y.
In "Milestones or Life" however.
this modern phrase of psychology is
so realistically presented by a capable
company of players, headed by capsi-
waiting Mignon Anderson. that il Is
Found to furnish the means for ma
tion wide discussion. Martial pro-
blems date back to the foundation of
society itself, but until the RECENTLY
heralded advent of psycho-analysis
no definite solution had ever been
reached.
For example, it is we'll known that
things which happen in early life in
many instances have strong influ-
ence in the molding of that persons
career in later years. This is parti
cularly emphasized in "Milestones
of Life, but presented in such a way
as to leave the question open for dis
cussion, according to the personal
views of the person witnessing the
play.
For the presentation of this vitality |
interesting Masterpicture, Edwin
Thanhouser gathered an exception
ally talented group of players, in
Guiding Miss Anderson, Harris Cor
don, Louise Rutter, Arthur Bauer. Le-
land Benham and popular little Helen
Badgley, star in numerous Thanhous-
er productions despite the fact that
she is only seven years old.
"Milestons of Life" despite the Sc
robustness of the topic dealt with,
abounds in human interest with every
one of the four parts crowded with
romance, heartbeats and unusual cli-
makes. Mr.. Thanhouser assumed
personal charge of the settings used
in "Milestones of Life" and observed
the screening of every scene shown,
striking tribute to the all impor-
tant factor on which it is based.
The story dates back to the time
when William Hallett, cherub faced
little boy, was the boon companion of
Pauline Avon, like himself the only
child of wealthy parents. In mud
pie days they swore that when they Q
were old enough they would marry. /
When William was eight years old /
