Completely reversing the usual process
a photoplay fan of the "Know-it-all" va
riety, recently took it upon himself to
correct the information department of
the Famous Players Film Company. He
had written to the company asking who
played a certain role in one of it's re-
cent Paramount Pictures, and the an
swer had been given promptly and cor
rectly. Then the fan exploded his bomb
by replying that he knew perfectly we'll
that the person in question was someone
case, and declaring that he wishes that.
In the future, his questions would be
taken more seriously
else than he had been informed was the

Loss of perspective, that which deter
mines and makes clear the eternal fitness
of things, is great loss to a man in any
branch of life. 1t will ruin his ability
as a student, as an athlete, as a business
man and, above all, as homemaker. The
world terms Il conceit. In "The Stepping
Stone this overwhelming concet is satir-
lied in a forceful and striking manner.
Conceit is not self-knowledge TO know
ones ability in any branch of activity is
but to add confidence to that ability. But
TO overrate ones ability is conceit; and IL
is this that the new Triangle-Kay Bee
film, now playing at the Arcadia, hits
1t tells the story of young man,
placed on the road to success by his wife's
undying devotion, who, when success
comes, loses his perspective of things as
they are, and turns against the woman
TO whom his success Is due. The outcome
of this egotism is n situation at once
unusual and dramatic. 1t makes the basis
for four great reels of a good picture.
Unfortunately the scenario writer did not
have courage to end the story with the
unpleasant, but natural solution, with the
result that fifth reel is needed to put
a poor, weak close on an otherwise ex-
cellent photoplay
The three leading roles are played by
Frank Keenan,, Mary Boland and Robert
Mckim. Needless to state that the pic
ture is artistically handled. Nothing less
is possible with these artists in one cast.
Mary Bolapd plays the wife with a de.
lightfully charming simplicity that is most
attractive. Gowned in exquisite taste. her
screen presence could not be improved
upon for the role she plays Keenan, is.
as always the repressed. stony ice-cold
man of steel. His hard-lined face records
the intensity of his emotions far more
forcibly than the physical routings of
many of our screen stars.
