MARGARET FISHER COMES TO HIP IN
 STRIKING FILM

Margaret Fisher is at the Hip today and tomorrow in her very latest pie ture. The Devils Assistant" Two women love the same man and an- other man loves one of the women. There you have the double triangle which tells the story of Miss Fishers s latest success.
 One girl marries the man she loves and her jealous rival induces the doc tor, who loves the bride, to make her slave to morphine. He accomplishes his purpose and the girl passes through the Valley of the Shadow before she is finally restored to nor mal life again.
 "The Devils Assistant" is a picture that gives to this gifted woman a splendid chance to show the charming figure and beautiful face, he added assets, to natural talent. One critic in writing of the picture says: < Tt is the story of woman's jour- ney from happiness to hell and back again, the tale of woman's game fight against morphine and sin and how she wins
 A few of the things which make this picture out of the ordinary are summed up in a criticism which reads:
 The dramatic scenes range from high society to the hereafter The al- legorical interpolation of the wonder ful mythological river Styx and Shar- on. the ferryman of death, the truly smashing realistic destruction of a dwelling by tornado and lightning, is master work in itself.''

STAR IN SIREN" SAYS THAT FILMS
 TEACH MORALITY

Acting in moving pictures has an elevating moral influence, says Va leska Suratt, star of the new William Fox drama, The Siren" at the La mara today. Miss Suratt's announce ment is based on experience, for sht. has appeared in two photoplays for William Fox alone.
 Moving pictures are still in the stage where the drama was before Ibsen,' says Miss Suratt. They have the old fashioned ideas about stage morality that demands and the hero come off triumphant and that virtue nc victorious and crime go punished Since modern influences set to work, the stage has partly given up these standards, but the screen still adheres to them. That is why the film con tinues to exercise a moral influence that the stage does not.
 If you consider my present pie ture for instance, you can understand more, clearly what I mean. In The Siren l take the part of a woman beyond redemption. an adventures without scruple. who goes through life with philosophy which makes every thing serve her own ends. She is en- tierly selfish, and she glories in her selfishness.
 At the end of the picture, she meets the fate that she deserves. It lis old fashioned morality but it is true morality If this picture were acted on the stage under modern in- fluences the ending would be entirely different. Cherry Willard would prob ably leave the scene at the end of the last act, with scornful laugh on her ha x1thn .ha I, .l ruined, would bc grovelling in the dust. The philosophy of it would be all wrong, but it would be so-called modern thought.
 That is the reason that acting in the movies is a much more moral in fluence than acting on the stage. The good actor cannot but be influenced by the part he or she plays. In my own case, l feel that the character portray becomes a part of my life And if that character is wicked, she must meet deserved fate, or she win have demoralizing influence"
