There is a decided picture dramatic and artistic treat in store for the pa irons of the New Central theater Tuesday, when the first of three spe cial pictures E. H. Southern is star in for Greater Vitagraph company will be here.
 This big corporation has made spe- cial effort to immortalize this noted actors art in these productions and "The Chattel." which will be the in- itial one shown is a masterpiece in every way A most noted cast sup ports Mr, Southern, chief among them being Peggy Hyland, the beautiful English actres, and in the supporting company will be such film fayorites as Charles Kent and Rose Tapley
 "The Chattel' is a psychological drama of modern times. permitting of much subtlity of character delneation and free from all artificial staginess MT. Southern lays the role of Blake Waring, master financier, egotistical selfish and filled wi.h a great pride for his achievements and for every thing that belongs to him. His motto, flashed upon the screen at the intro ducton to the film is this q must and will have the best For it l will pay any price and count the cost fair But once the thing is mine. it is mine own, to do with as l please, and none shall interfere"
 Waring meets and woes with characteristic force the woman whom he wishes to become his wife, After the marriage 1.illa finds that she is nothing but the financier's chattel and her proud nature revolts. She buys her freedom from Waring and be cause not legally free hides from him at the home of a friend WaFing for the first time realizes how much his wife means to him and after vast ing sickness, sets out to find her. The last part of the picture ~<als with the financiers second wooing, and the story ends happily.
