strand-"secret Leye.v

Moore's Strand Theater yesterday
showed Helen Ware in Secret Love"
an adaptation of Mrs Frances Hodg-
son Burnett's story, THE Lass o.
Lowries." 1t deals with the secret
affection of an obscure miners daugh-
ter for a rich and powerful mine
owner, and the resultant heartaches
and unhappiness for the girl. Miss
Ware brings to the screen a strong
personality. while many of the play
ers formerly identified with her stage
productions appear in her support
before the camera. Rose Melville, one
of the most popular condolences of
the American stage. and who made
the play sis Hopkins" popular in
every city of the United States, will
make her screen debut in a laughable
farce entitled. Her Wooing." in which
she impersOnates a character similar
to the one she created in sis Hop

will be featured in d. W. Griffith's
latest film, "D'Artagan." adapted from
the celebrated romantic story The

NRtIOnaI-Ethel Barrymore in ''Our
Mrs. McChesney."


Ethel Barrymore's ingratiating per-
sonality has been applied, by the mys-
terious rule Of stage fortunes, to a wide
variety Of types Of character, and the
resulting picture has never failed in in
terest and charm. The kaleidoscope has
turned again. and with particularly I'M
expected flash we view the familiar
Barrymore manners and graces convinc-
ingly shaped into a typical modern bust
ness woman, self-possessed, mature and
motherly
Readers OF the magazine stories by
Edna Ferber. on which the play given at
the National Theater this week is based,
will perhaps find 1t a little difficult to
imagine Miss Barrymore in advance in
the role of Emma McChesney, the brisk
and bustling saleswoman for the T. A,
Buck Featherloom Petticoat Company
but after seeing her their previous mental
pictures OF the heroine must perforce
give way before the realism OF the ac-
tress' art. Miss Barrymore's Mrs. Nc
.Chesney shows points OF unreality under
strict scrutiny, for II is incredible that

Mae Murray made her first appearance
In photoplay Sunday and yesterday at
Loew's Columbia Theater in ITO Have
and To Hold" a picture adapted from the
novel of the same name by Mary Johnson
Miss Murray Is possessed OF the essential
qualities that go to make an actress pop-
ular on the screen: is young and has an
irresistible personality combined with dra-
matte ability. In this play she enacted
the role of Lady JOcelyn, ward Of King
James I of England. To escape an un-
desirable marriage she bribed one OF the
servants and secured passage to America
as one of Sir Edwin's doves, who were
sent over as wives for the Virginia colon
lists. Capt. Percy. enacted by Wallace
Reid, gentleman adventurer in James

Act two reveals the salesroom of the
firm in New York, where Jack has been
pinned to a job while his wife is put to
school to have her language sifted.
Emma's petticoat designs are not exactly
taking in the Middle West, the firm ap-
proaches the financial rocks, and Jack is
suspected of more crookedness. After the
audience has suffered suitable suspense IT
turns out that Jack didn't do 1t at all.

Altogether the play provides a gentle
train of humor and sentiment laid in a
business atmosphere, with many oppor-
tunities for Miss Barrymore to depict
appealing phases of maternal concern,
business-like self-possession, and trench
ant humor. The support is excellent in
the leading parts, but the opening scene
in the hotel office, with the throng of
drummers and hangers-on, is more I'M
pleasant and raucous by many degrees
than any known reality, and much of
the comic by-play Is overdrawn.
