His Brethern' adapted from the
$4,000 spectacular stage produc-

spared in the making of a master
piece.
Hearts and minds of children and
grown-ups throughout the ages have
thrilled in the retelling of his rise to
power in ancient Egypt.
Every ingredient that combines to
form this ancient narrative is richly
contained. There is the conspiracy
of the brothers jealous of Joseph;

theme treasured in the memories of
the millions.
The treatment of the story for
motion picture purposes has been
poetical and highly theatrical. Beauty

culminative power.

those who enjoyed the sparkling
character portrayal of the dainty

delight and thrill them anew. Miss

who meets her fate in the wilds of
the Canadian North woods after a
host of sensational adventures. has
registered one of the most notable
destinations of her artistic career

already legion admirers. Edwin Care
we, who directed Ethel Barrymore
in The Final Judgement, Emily
Stevens in Destiny, or The Soul of
Woman" and other Metro wonder

it. His Characterization of the primi-

woodsman, whose virile qualities win
first the admiration and then the
love of the whimsical maid, portray
, ed by Miss Taliaferro, is distinctly
impressive and true to life.
