"Seven Sisters the celebrated
transatlantic comedy success, adapt
ed for the American stage by Edith
Furniss, and presented for several sea-
sons at the Lyceum Theater in New
York by Daniel Frohman, tells the
amusing story of the widow of an
army officer in small garrison town
in Hungary, who has seven daughters
ranging from seven to twenty-five
According to the Hungarian system
OF marriage, the daughters must be
wed in the order of their age. and the
younger ones must be kept in the
background until the older ones are
disposed of. Mici, portrayed by Miss
Clark, the fourth in matrimonial eligi-
bility, rebels against this system, and
falls in love with an ardent young
lieutenant. The duty devolves upon
the lieutenant of finding suitors for
the three older girls who stand in the
way of his marriage to Mici. The
three whom he thus leads unsuspect-
ingly to their fates are a jealously-in-
clined colonel, philandering lieuten-
ant and meek young university stu
dent. His conspiracies, however, in
volve all three pairs in trouble. for
the young people show symptoms of
not clinging to the sweethearts select
ed for them. Finally, the lieutenant's
calculations are completely upset by
Mici's eleventh hour refusal to marry
him. How these sentimental prob
lens are at last solved in humorously
unfolded in the photoplay
AS Mici, Marguerite Clark is alto
gether delightful. Her frankness. her
usefulness, her quaint philosophy and
irresistible girlishness, make the role
completely captivating.
