to Fort dupont At both places the

really unusual.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chambers attended
the first public showing of THE Girl

for he dictated the following state
ment:
THE Girl Philippa' is the most
beautifully handled. most artistic mo-
tion picture l have ever seen 1t is
simply corking. In fact the whole
presentation is perfectly delightful.
The various scenes are worked on
with surprisingly good effect The
studio scene is beautifully done and
il is the only time 1 have ever seen
a studio in motion pictures that look
ed like the real thing
THE composition OF the battle
scenes was perfect. The lombard
ment is exceedingly clever. and the
chase through the wine-cellar con-
tanned magnificent action.
In the role of Philippa Miss Stew
art is absolutely most charming.

tation of the part. l have never seen
