PEGGY INLAND AT THE LAMARA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY

Are you a sinner? You needn't nee essarilv be a deep dyed devoted pupil of Satan to deserve this appellation. You need only be a weakling with no thought of actual sin other than an irresistible impulse toward self -grat- tication to be registered under this head by Henry Arthur Jones. This distinguished English dramatist. who has made the world think by the force of his graphic, dramatic lessons, made this absorbing question the theme of what is conceded to be one of his foremost successes, Saints and Sinners" which after a triumphant career on the stages of England and America, has now been converted to the screen by the Famous Players Film company on the Paramount program.
 Miss Peggy Hyland, the favorite of the English stage. who has lately. ar rived from England to appear in Famous Players productions, and who makes her premier American appear anec in this subject, went to Florida. where the exteriOrs of this drama were filmed under the direction Of Jas Kirkwood This we'll known masterpiece. embossed by beautiful scenery and superb acting will appear at the Lamara Wednesday and Thursday.

"rae Grasp of Greed" at the Columbia

"rhe Grasp of Greed" at the Columbia
 Wills have been more or less prom inent in motion pictures since their in ception, but this is probably the first time that a will has been tatooed on the smooth white back of pretty woman" So says New Yorks best known picture critic in reviewing "The Grasp of Greed" which opens at the Columbia today for a showing which includes tomorrow also
 The picture is made from the original story. "Mr. Meesons Will" written by H. Ryder Haggard at the height of his career and furnishes one of the most novel of picture plots. A ship is wrecked at sea. A millionaire pub fisher, a pretty girl and two rough island, the sole survivors of the ill., fated vessel.
 The old man is dying and he wants to assure his only son a valuable es tate which he has willed to a crooked partner in a moment of wrath and there is nothing at hand with which to record the will.
 The solution of the problem comes from one of the sailors, who, like all men of his calling, know more or less of the art of tatooing. To provide the ink and needle requires but the skill of the sailors. A cuttlefish, well known for it's bag of ink carried for defense purposes, is caught, and with this fluid and a sharp bone or ,ne fish the tools of the artist are provided.
 To induce the girl to bare her shoulders to the pain of the needle is | another task, but she yields and brave l ly submits to the torture that the young man may have his fortune. This scene where the beautiful shoul- | ders of the girl, alone with these two 1 rough men on the island, save for the | dying man, takes the long, desperate chance, is new departure to pictures While the makers of this picture

fields he resigns his position as sheriff a day before he meets up with TraVers.
 Travers is arrested in a neighboring town by two countrymen who recog- nize Jims horse. Jim is telegraphed and replies that everything is all right and that he has given the horse to the man Travers. Questioning Jim's eX- planation, the two men prepare to take Travers back to Bowling Green. He attempts escape and is shot.
 Jim has been nominated for the leg islator and when his action in per hitting Travers to escape becomes known, he is denounced in public meeting by Coy. Bollinger for having failed to fulfill his duties as sheriff. Jo Vernon, knowing of Jim's resigna- ton, addresses the meeting and eX- onerates him.
 The townspeople, melted by Bol- fingers speech, turn against Jim and start for his house to seek their ven geance. Jim meets them at the gate and warns them off, just as Jo arrives to explain to them that Jim Radburn had resigned as sheriff the day before.
 The better way is evidenced to Kate. and she learns that her love belongs to Jim.

At The Lamara This Week

ally popular novel "The Common Law" was finished this week and the work of assembling and cutting the films has begun. Director General Capel lani and his company of noted players shot the closing exterior scenes on a location near Morristown, N. J., Mon day and Tuesday and unless the neces- sity for a retake should unexpectedly develop the cameras work is complete.
 M. Capellani is most enthusiastic over the results of the last six weeks work. "We have made tremendous picture" he said when the company returned to the studio in Fort Lee. "I am pround of Miss Young and her en- tire company, and declare unhesitat- ingly that The Common Law is the greatest picture l ever produced"
 It is expected that in it's final form "The Common Law" will be issued in six reels. There is a possibility that it will be offered in two complete edi- tions, one of six and one of nine reels, the latter for special shOwings in the big theaters.
 The Common Law unquestionably offers Miss Young the greatest op- portunity of her career for sustained characterization and emotional eX- pressiOn. The role of Valerie West is a charming and complex Character study and seems destined to win fol the beautiful and popular screen stal millions of new admirers.
 In adapting the story to the screen M. Capellani has retained all it's essen tial incident and characters with the addition of numerous episodes an( situations only hinted at in the novel

News of the Theaters, Music,
MARY HAS owH COMPANY

Announcement is made of the or ganiZation of the Mary Pickford Film corporation, headed by the famous loved star so long presented by the Famous Players.
 Miss PicSfOrd is now rehearsing and working before the camera, and the first picture will be released by her own organization, occupying one of the largest studios in New York, which is entirely devoted to the purposes of her company.
 It is Miss Pickford's plan to produce a limited number of productions each Year. but those, at an unlimited cost. As is stated in her announcement, the best brains skill and resources of this art industry will be secured to make her presentations the best that have ever been seen on the screen.
 Miss Pickford states that it is her belief that the exhibitors who so long have co-operated with her and her great following. will all the more ap- preciate her work when she stands alone prevailing the whole production, and not being part of any program. For this purpose she has arranged with the newly organized Aircraft Pictures corporation to distribute her pictures.
 The Aircraft Pictures corporation has been formed by Walter E. Greene and others with a capital of $2000 900, with general offices in the Godfrey building, at No. 729 Seventh avenue. Branch offices and exchanges are now heing established in the principal film centers throughout America and Can ada.
 The president of the company, Wal ter E. Greene. has long been prominent picture activities. Al Lichtman, well i'm 1Ra faf.r will assist MT. Greene in the operating of the new corporation.
 Miss Pickford's first production is now being made at her studio in this city and announcement will soon be made as to it's character. This, as all other productions made under her guidance will be created and handled by the best brains and skill obtainable in the business. Miss Pickford's pro- ductions will be distributed independ- ently and alone and will not be under any program. It is the purpose to see that every exhibitor in this country and Canada will have an opportunity to present them to his patrons.
 1t is Miss Pickford's desire said MT. Greene. the president of the Cor pOration. that her new productions shall be seen in every theater and mo- tion picture in the land" These will surpass anything yet done on the screen, having supporting casts of dis tinctiOn, master direction, and in all completely harmOniZing every detail of the art in which Miss Pickford stands alone as it's most popular and loved star
 In presenting Miss Pickford and her productions to the exhibitors, the Art craft Pictures corporation does so with full confidence that it will give to mo- ton picture exhibitors and their patrons the highest attainments of this art industry. No personality SC dominates motion pictures as that ot Mary Pickford and the advent of a new play in which she appears is all ways an event in any theater.

FIlMDOM FLIGHTS

well, II seems that pictures are about to be lifted up. The person who is to furnish this needed impetus believe it or not is Mime. NazimoVa. Here are the details, straight from the publicity shop:
 Not the least important feature concerning the advent of Nazimova on the moving picture screen is the fact that she will bring into theaters where the silent drama is shown class of patrons who have never been interested in photodrama and who have, to a certain extent, even looked down upon it. NaZimova's career, previous to her engagement by Her bert Brenon for a photo d1amatiZa- ton of Marion Craig Wentworth's play War Brides was confined ex- clusively to the highest form of mod ern literary drama. She it was who proved that Ibsen could be made pop ular. She is the only actress who has presented full length plays by the great Austrian dramatist, Arthur Schnitzler Her appeal nas always been to people of the highest intelli gence. When she played War Brides in the vaudeville houses of thie country she attracted 10 those thea ters people who seldom. if ever a'
 
 round out her complete appeal to every branch of theatergoers by prov ing that the same fine methods which she used in the spoken drama can be effectively employed upon the screen. To bridge the gap between the highly intellectual and the merely superficial spectator of plays an6 produce entertainment which will ap- peal to all equally is a task calling l for the highest genius. In A Daughter of the Gods" the great An- rette Kcllermann spectacle which | Mir. Brenon created in Jamaica this progressive director accomplished | this fact. a statement which will he proved when the million dollar film | is released. In Nazimova he declares
 that he has found an artist who is
 perfectly adapted to the screen, and expects to carry on this work still further Through his efforts the so-
 called high brows' and low broVs'
 among audiences will soon find that
 they have q great deal in common. l When War Brides" is released
 early in october, it is predicted by
 those who are in touch with Mr Brenon's plans that the devotes of moving pictures. as well as those of the sister art of the stage, will wit ness a revelation of what has been
 accomplished in this youngest of th'
 arts.

 Among the passengers on the train is a certain MT Samuel Hoggard who is angered at the Rev. Fletcher be- cause of his refusal to meet his (Hog- gard's), unjust desires.
 Hoggard forms his own version of Letty's departure with Fanshawe. Poor Lefty does not know her situa- lion until long past StceplefCrd. The episodes which await her in the city

ured more than seven feet from tip to

rattlesnake near Tarentum, Pa,
when the pirate of the air tried to

mother was protecting. The eagle

to seize several of the baby snakes in
its talons. Before 1t could'rise, how
ever, the mother had struck, burying
her fangs in the eagles breast. The
big bird rose to a dizzy height, fall
tered and plunged to the earth, dead.
