Death for the Traitor.
"HINTON'S DOUBLE"

Frederick Warde's next appearance
on the screen will be at the Greenwood
Theatre today in the Pathe Gold Roos-
ter Play called "Hinton's Double" the
title of which will make the reader
suspect it is a modern drama.
Asked how he liked the plunge from
the classic into the, modern, Mr..
Warde told an interviewer that he
felt very well pleased as long as his
followers throughout the country were.
Americans like novelty" stated the
Shakespearean star, "and at least
Frederick Warde in a play Of the
times is a strong novelty.
"In fact, when I told Mr. Than
houser would be glad to do the play,
he made me star in it twice, for good
measure, | suppose"
Mr.. Warde's remark is explained by
the fact that he has dual role in
"Hinton's Double" He plays a get
rich-quick man and a humble clerk
who resembles the crooked fnancer
and whom the latter employs to serve
a jail term for him.
Some unusual Photographic tricks
help the stars portrayal Of the dual
rote.
A "Pathe News" and "The Fatal
Ring" will be added. 5 and Is cents.
