Otis Skinner has been won over 10 the

his debut. In the face OF Mr.. Skinner's 3
oft-repeated declaration that he was op-
posed to the practice of actors and ac-
tresses confusing their Identity by alter

His refusal Of offers compelled most

PLENTY OF SCRAPS
FOR WILLIAM FARNUNl
In Fighting Blood" His New
est Picture, He Has Many
Thrilling Battles
BY the Photoplay Editor

There is an old saying about give a
dog bad name, ETC." which is very true
! but there Is one worse thing to do than
| that. Give a photoplay star name for
one kind of part and he or she is con
demned to play that kind forever and
| ever. Amen. The first may lay you open
to attack from the S. p. C. A., while the
! latter is practically condemning fellow
human being to life slavery.
Still one must admit that certain of
said humans get along very well on such
slavery Look at Mary Pickford as the
poor little abused heroine with the pretty
pout," Pearl White, as "the serial hero
inc with the punch in detective stories
Theda Bara as the vampire of the
SCREEN and so on, until we meet Will
liam Farnum, doomed forever to fight
bodily conflicts" in all his pictures.
Mr. Farnum was convicted ana sen.
fenced for his marvellous fight in THE
Spoilers" Since then he has fought
through such scrappy affairs as "The
New Governor" THE Broken Law" THE
Wonderful Adventure" THE Soldiers
Oath" and now Fighting Blood" and
one must admit he fights excelently in
this last one.
The story itself deals with n man born
of fighting stock, who is convicted Of. a
crime he never committed and sent to
prison. While there his thoughts are
turned to religion through the efforts of
the chaplain and on his release he goes
into the ministry. His terrific temper
counts against him in the East, so he
goes West where fate leads him again to
the man who wrecked his life, and to the
girl he loves. The end is thrilling and
dramatic,
Farnum plays the role of the fighting
parson magniflcently in the scenes where
dramatic-or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is

ing the beauty of the character in the
quicter scenes.
Dorothy Bernard is delightful in the
extremely hard role of the poor little
abused heroine, who suffers sorrow and
degradation through the schemes of her
husband, the villain of the piece.
Henry j. Hubert as Blake, her hus-
band, is about as nasty. mean and low
down a skunk" Ito quote w. A. s. as
II Is possible to find. He shows the full
force of evil in the role very we'll, with
out being unnatural of manner or ranting
his part.
The story is cleverly and logically
handled, even though the pilot is i'm
probable. The photography is fine
throughout. The fight in the inn thrills
tremendously.

Davis play by Anthony Kelly, will soon
