"May Blossom"

David Belasco's celebrated stage
success, "May Blossom" as picturized
by a Famous Players cast, will be the
Friday attraction at the Grand. The
sympathetic and realistic photo-ver-
sion of this great American war
drama will undoubtedly revive the
interest SO universally created by the
original stage production. It's tender
romance, its frank presentation OF
problems familiar in our domestic
life, and it's thrilling military aspects
of the great national struggle OF q
half-century ago, combine to make
this one of the most typical and ap-
pealing American plays ever pro.
duced. In the photoplay the pictorial
and scenic possibilities of the big
drama are remarkably enhanced, and
the interest of the stirring plot is
greatly strengthened by the more
elaborate presentation made possible
on the screen.
'tMay Blossom" impressed the ma
ton with its power and charm. The

"The Code of Marcia Gray"

There are many forms of moral
honor, and every woman has her own
individual code Of ethics to govern
various situations. The code of
Marcia Gray, the basis for the Oliver
Moroseo photoplay of that name
which comes to the Grand Wednes-
day, will win ready sympathy. Sud-
denly deprived of her life of refine
ment and luxury by the cowardice of
her husband at a crucial moment.
Marcia finds but one solance-Or-
lando Castle, her former sweetheart,
and friend of her husband. Marcia's
code meets a great and unexpected
test-not from the usual triangle of
two men and woman-but in what
makes one of the strong, human mo-
ments in charming production.
The wonderful personality of Con-
stance Collier as Marcia Gray makes
the part one of universal appeal.
Every woman will find in the great
crisis in Marcia Gray's life marvel
ously exact duplication of what she
would have to do, and experience,
should she meet the same problem.

1.-THE Shadow of Doubt"


If you cane into yaar house after

leaving on trip out of town for q
few days, and found one man dicker-
ing with your safe, had him arrested,
only to return and find another man
in your bed chamber, with your wife
in the house all the time, would any
doubt of your wife's faithfulness en-
ter your mind? These are only few
of the many problems which are in
diligently worked out in the Equita-
BILE five-reel feature, s'The Shadow
of Doubt" with Carlyle Blackwell in
the leading role. Moreover the de-
velopment of the story proves that
both men were there for legitimate
reasons, which adds vim to the punch
of the strong, dramatic climax in this
extraordinary Blackwell picture, to
be shown at the Gem next Thursday.

this magnificent picture, Proprietor

announcement will be received with
intense qualification by the patrons
Of the popular house, since the pro-
duction has created sensation
wherever shown and is universally
conceded to be one of the very finest
achievements of the motion picture
art. Viola Allen plays the title role,
with Richard C. Trayers as leading
man and an all-star supporting cast.
Six reels are required to tell the
story Of 1.-THE White Sister"-six
reels that are crowded every moment
with the hurrying events of great
life drama. The pictures are superb;
the costumes are correct in every de-
tail; the scenes are perfectly laid as
to atmosphere. There is nothing
missing, nothing wanting in this most
beautiful and wonderful of motion
pictures. Many thought the limit of
perfection had been reached in the
stage production of the famous play,
but the film version is even greater
and better, because Viola Allen has,
before the screen, done the greatest
work of hi llustriousmereer
The of "The White Sister"
in brief, is as follows:
Disinherited, illegitimated under the
Italian law-her lover reported dead
in Africa-heartbroken and weary of
the world-Donna Angela Chiaro-
monte becomes the White Sister, de-
voting her life to good and the SER
vice of the Master. Called to nurse
her dying aunt, Angela learns she was
disinherited because the aunt stole
her fathers will. After FIVE years,
Lieutenant Giovanni Severi, the low
er, returns as from the dead. Seri-
ously injured in an explosion at the
barracks where he is stationed, he de-
rermines to die unless Angela will
marry him. She loves him more than
she loves her life, but refuses marri-
age because of her vows as the White
Sister. A prince of the church inter-
venes and promises to obtain from His
Holiness the Pope dispensation that
will free her from her vows and allow
her to marry. This brings happiness
to everyone, including the sister SUI
perior of the convent, who, Angela
has learned, is her real mother, and
sister of the woman who she always
thought waMher parent. It is the
