"The Love Girl" is the title of the Blue Bird photoplay which the Colum
 bia serves today and tomorrow. It's title might indicate that it was n love story of some silly girl but 1t is far from that hackneyed theme 1t is the tale of a little girl (played by Ella Hall and she has no equal in child S parts) who is transplanted from hap py home in the country to city man ton where the matron is under the influence of a Hindoo faker, a swami who is bleeding the poor deluded so- ciety woman for her money. Around this unusual plot the Motion Picture News, commenting on the first showing of the feature to the critics of New York recently said:
 Robert Leonard contributes the story and the direction shows his care ful work and evident care in creating a photoplay that the man who is try ing to serve pictures to the family will not have to dodge. The story is new. and that is a great deal in the picture world today. MT. Leonard S good work has not stopped with the scenario It proceeds right on through with little let-up to the happy con- clusion. To be brief, "The Love Girl' is superb. The little carefree girl of the country finds the house to which she is transplanted filled with foolish notions by Hindoo faker who Is hoodwinking the mother and daugh- ter. Such hold has he on the daugh- ter that at his word she gives up the man she really loves. The climax comes with the Kidnapping of the daughter by the Swami who expects to bleed his patron. Through the in inauisitiyeness of the little girl she and the rich little boy next door lead to the capture of the faker. The whole story is builded around the lives Of these two children. Ella Hall. who has no equal in her line has. the best part of her career It is even a better ve- hicle for the actress than was Jewel in which she scored signal triumph The story, while it has a lot of action that will appeal especially to the chill dren. is a strong virile tale with nor al in the foolish infatuation of the society woman for a cult that is not and never should be taken seriously

different districts or TO the needs OF
the children No boz in an elementary
school could get a chance to find out
whether be wanted TO be Il mechanic
