Caprice of the Mountains"

Caprice of the Mountains" which
comes to the Grand Tuesday, is re-
viewed as follows by Hanford c. Jud-
son in the Motion Picture World:
''The first thing that one must say
about "Caprice Of the Mountains" is
that it is really emotional; it gets to
where it sets out to go and carries the
spectator along. This would not be
true if it were not in large measure
artistic. s. * The picture was. we
firmly believe, truly pleasing to the
audience at the Academy of Music,
where we saw the film, on July II.
Caprice of the Mountains; we
know what kind of story to expect
from that title. A backwoods heroine
with straightforward simplicity and
fervent affection, with smiles and
tears carrying a somewhat elemental
but clean love story, and with a happy
ending. fn tAls case, June Caprice
smiles anf weeps through the scenes
Of the st( y, and is acceptable if not
great Harry Hillery is the manly
hero"

"The Sorrows of Love-

':The Sorrows of Love-" an alb
sorbingly Interestingly Triangle-Ince
feature in which Bsesie Barriscale
and William Dex2on& will appear at
the Gem Theatre tonight, is of Italian
locale, and Miss Barriscale has the
part of Sister Beatrice, who is first
seen as 'The Lily" in the convent of
st. Cecile. The plot concerns mainly
her adventures in the outer world,
after she has fled from the convent,
believing she can find a greater mis-
sion outside its walls. How she meets
and falls. in love with young labor
agltator, only to meet tragedy and
return again to the convent, has been
absorbingly depicted.
IN the role of Beatrice, Miss Barri-

the white-robed nun is the very es-
sence of innate goodness, while her
later portrayal of the passionate
daughter of. Italy is equally rich in
fiery emotion.

"The Dividend"

Chas. Ray and W. II. Thompson
are seen as co4|tars in "The Divi-
dend," Triangle srelease which IS to
be seen at the Gem next Saturday.
The story deals with father and
son whose happiness is wrecked by
the greed and seIfshness of the elder
man. Before the story opens, ms
wife's life has been saddened and
shortened by her husbands coldness
and neglect. The boy, sent away to
school, has grown up without faith
er's love; nevertheless he still loves
his father, and when the day OF his
graduation from college comes, he
anxiously looks for "Dad." But there
comes only telegram Of good wishes.
Back in his home the boy wants TO
go to work for his father, and make
something of himself. But the elder
man is too busy cutting wages, rals-
ing rents, and otherwise piling up a
record dividend for the corporation
over whose destinies he presides, to
pay any attention to his boy. he pro,
vides him with an allowance, and
tells him to enjoy himself, without
getting in the way.
The boy drifts from gay life into
one of dissipation, and then into de,
pravity. He becomes an opium f1end
and the companion of girl as hope
lessly wrecked as himself-a girl sent
into the streets BY the grinding pow
erty which the elder mans avaricious
tactics have imposed on her and thou
sands of others. Meanwhile the cap
tain of industry has built mission in
the slums where his son wanders, and
it is his delight to contemplate the
congregations of forlorn humanity
who gather there to hear the gospel
of Christ preached by his eloquent
oastor-in-charge.
There comes final day of reckon
ing. when the corporation has paid its
record dividend. and its president re-
ceives another dividend Of different
sort-the dead body Of his son killed
in slum brawl. The lights of the
mission burn brightly. while the
father kneels besides his boys limp
form; and the girl wanders from the
'nillionaire's door back to the pave
ments where she must find the living
his greed has denied her.

"The Innocent Lie"

The Wednesday offering at the

five-part story of Gould Ireland" and
New York produced by the Famous
Players. The leading player is Miss
Valentine Grant, who impersonates
the Irish maid to the life, as she has
seen Irish maids on their native
heath. 1t is an interesting character
study, and the interest extends tc
Nora O'Brian's experiences in New

SHOWS full appreciation of the re-
qulrements of sterner situations.
Jack Clark is Terry O'Brian, broth
ef OF Nora, whose enlistment in the
british army impels Nora to seek her
younger brother in America.
The story is competently staged
especially so the interiors Of Nora's
IRISH home. The exteriors were
photographed in Bermuda and they
are not only picturesque, but in at
mosphere vividly remind of the land

are intended to simulate. The story

OF THE PHOTOpLAYS


that come fren his democratic rule
form the basis for the sensational five,
act photoplay, "a Son of the I'M
mortals," in which J. Warren KeIr;-
gan will be seen at the Grand Thurs
day. Of course the politicians Of his
realm did not like his unconventional
method of popularizing himself with
the people, and the resulting plots and
counter plots that lead close to an
archy and revolution provide exciting
scenes to stir the enthusiasm of Am
erican audiences to a degree unusual
even in these days of sensationalism
in photoplaying. Great mobs in bat
ties, the exciting incidents attendant
upon plots formed for assassination
and the final triumph of the dashing
Yankee provide incidents that are
sure to arouse to high pitch the fervol
of photoplay enthusiasts.

In due course Remington and

"The Tarantula F"

In this siS-part offering, which the
Grand announces as its Friday attrac-
ton, the Vitagraph company pre-
sents drama of intense emotional
appeal. The cast is large and evenly
balanced. Edith Storey appears to
advantage as Chonita Alvarado, Gu
ban beauty. Harry Hollingsworth
plays the role Of Teddy Steele, the
young fool from the States, who will
not take advice and ventures too far
with the native belle Antonio Mo-
reno plays the Cuban lover, Eulalie
Jensen the faithful Donna Luz, l..
Rogers Lytton the fiery Senor Alva-
RADIO, and Charles Kent the part of
Van Allen, who narrates the story in
New York club.
There is wealth of color and at
mosphere in the production. The
story has moments when it threatens
to plunge into melodrama, but the
natural development and forceful act
ing of the competent performers saves
it from this fate. 1t maintains, as a
result, a high level of intensity and
moves on with attractive smoothness
to the tragic climax in the last reel.
Briefly, the plot concerns hand
some young American who goes to
Cuba with his uncle on business. He
enters into a Irritation with Chonita
and, despite warnings of her lover
and his own friends, succeeds in
bringing about her ruin. The girl,
cast off by her proud sire, comes to
l. IL II -
again meets the American and brings
about his death by means Of 9 deadly
tarantula. The close IS softened BY
a reconciliation with her father and
her arriage to Pedro
The production as d whole Is one Of
exceptional strength.
