Mary Pickford at the Harte Theatre,
places this Paramount Picture among
the few really great productions
which have ever been given to the
motion picture public. The foremost
producers have again scored triumph
by the mastery manner in which the
film version of this celebrated tragedy
has been presented. Every detail OF
staging is correct artistic in the ex-
IRENE. 1t breathes the very spirit. life
and atmosphere of Japan.
Mary Picliford upon whom the burden
of the play falls, has another admirable
opportunity OF proving how capable and

is complete. She has assumed this role

has ever played-of the loving, desert

and has acted 1t to projection. Every
phase of the characteristic gayety,
hopefulness, the motherly love, the dig
nifty, the fidelity to the undeserying
lover the sorrow and the resignation
all are faithfully pictured. The pow
e1ful emotionalism which she puts into
the tragic portrayal will make it stand
head and shoulders above all her pre-
vious performances-even the immort-
al Tess of the Storm County"
For the production of this master
piece, which has the distinction OF be-
ing the first work Of an American au-
thor to be converted into grand OPP

Japanese custom-and- costumes In New
