Bessie Love In a New Success.

Bessie Love makes her fourth ap-
pearance as a Triangle star in the
Fine Arts production of "a Daughter
Of the Poor which will be shown
at the Hippodrome theater tonight
he character played by Miss Love
in this feature differs from any she
has done heretofore. She takes the
part Of a girl who has inherited a
small toy shop, as we'll as lazy
uncle, who is himself shiftlessness
personifed and hates all people with
money. He spends large part Of
his leisure influencing his niece to
believe as he does The natural re-
suit is that Bessie develops an un-
usual affection for poor people and
an intense prejudice against the
other luckier ones who are able to
live beyond the reach of want Her
struggle between love and duty
when she finds that the man she has
given her heart to is a millionaires
son instead of a chauffeur, as she
had believed, results in an amusingly
dramatic situation. With a keen ap-
probation of the requirements of the
part, Bessie Love again proves her
right to be considered one of the
natural stars of the screen
In conjunction with this great Tri-
angle play will be shown the latest
Pathe Weekly and new Triangle
comedy entitled His Rise and
