Geraldine Farrar in "Maria Rosa"
In maria Rosa,' which will be the
Monday attraction at the Grand, Ger
aldine Farrar, illustrious star of the
singing and silent stage, has reached
her greatest histrionic triumph.
Maria Rosa" provides wonderful op-
portunities for an artist of the first
class. A great and abiding love,
great simplicity coupled with great
cunning, are the chief characteristics
of the part. Miss Farrar makes the
conjunction of these elements in a
woman's heart seem overwhelmingly
probable because she makes them ov-
erwhelmingly real She does become
merged in the character she is asked
to portray and the audience is there
fore treatedFo the rarest OF pleasures
seeing sSblime part ifSthe hands
of highly gifted artist who realizes
the utmost expectations of the drama
tist.
The story brings home fact which
we all know, but which is ever new
the power of love over a woman's
heart and whole existence. The heart
of Maria Rosa, simple and trusting,
inds itself cruelty deceived. and be-
trayed, not by her lover, but by
treacherous rival of her lover. She
is called upon when she makes the
fearful discovery to act quickly and
to dissemble feelings which beat
unanimously at the very gate of her
soul. With the same intuitive flash
she realizes both the deceit that has
been practiced upon her and the need
of saving her beloved from the sus-
picion of murder She rises to the
situation in manner which will make
this play stand out far above every
average production.
Ihe tragic points in the film are de'
veloped with unsurpassed skill, MAX
ing the happy ending all the more
pleasing. Atmosphere and lighting
effects are up to the highest Lasky
standards.
