1t is a we'll known fact that lovers
Of photo plays have their favorites
among the actors in the cast and
rave over their cleverness and per-
sonal charm as if they were before
them on the legitimate stage in
actual flesh and blood.
Miss Marsh has many bits of fine
acting in the picture. Among the
most delightful are the welcoming of
| the brother back from the Civil war;
| the making of "southern ermine'
with raw cotton and chimney black;
the scene in the cellar with Miriam
Cooper; the garden making that fol-
lows the return from the war; the
southern bouquet; and the pretty
scene where she rains kisses on her
brother Bcn's mouth to console him
for the temporary loss of his sweet
heart, Elsie. There is always a touch
Of comedy or of pathos where Miss
Marsh appears. Her personality
lends itself to fine temperamenta]
treatment of any part she plays. Her
| expression, her ever charming, mood
| adapting face, is one of the most
valuable in all the list of film favor
ties.
In "The Birth of A Nation" at the
| opera house August End and 3rd.
"The Golden Chance" a Lasky pro-
| duction in which Cleo Ridgley and
Wallace Reid appear for the first
| time on the Paramount progrom as
co-stars and will be shown at the
| Lyric Tuesday, August list.
The story of "The Golden Chance"
is one that essentially is suited to the
motion picture form of narrative. 1t
relates the experiences of a young
woman of refinement who, after a few
miserable years as the wife of an I'M
| desirable, suddenly by chance is
| thrown into contact with men and
women of her own kind. A young
millionaire falls in love with her, but
| she keeps her true identity under
cover until confronted by her own
husband, who is discovered burglariz-
| ing the house in which she is staying
as a guest.
The dramatic climax of "The Gold
en- Chance" comes with a fstic en-.
counter between the young woman's
husband and the youth who is in
| fatuated with her. Wallace Reid II
this fight is even more realistic thar
he was in the stirring duel which At
fought in the Lasky production OF
Carmen" a Paramount picture, II
which Mr.. Reid appears as Don jose
in support of Geraldine Farrar.
