CHARITY OF HEART AND
MIND TOLD OF AT STRAND
IN "HONOR OF MARY BLAKE

There Is different charity than the
mere friendly or frlternal giving of
aims there is charity of heart and
mind that, in some communities, seems
to be trait of character that has gone
undeveloped. The little town of Hills
dale was one of these. When the min
lister called for a collection to benefit
foreign missions the pennies which US
ually dropped into the plate were in
creased to nickles and dimes; the great
charitable heart of the congregation
was touched by the appeal for money
to go to heather lands. But when
Mary Blake, an actress, was left
stranded In the town, through sudden
illness, she had taste of Hillsdale
charity-and Bluebird photoplays have
made engaging entertainment out of
her experience. Under the caption of
1.-THE Honor of Mary Blake" at the
Strand theater today and tomorrow
Violet Mersereau will enact the role OF
Mary Blake, Sick friendless and among
strangers. Had she been a Fiji Island
er, seeking religious benefits, her fate
might have been different-but she was
"only an actress" There Is a forceful
moral veneered in gripping photoplay
