lPAULINE FREDERICK AT
GARRICK MON. and TUESDAY

"Sapho," the famous novel by AL
phonse Daudet, the dramatization of
which created a tremendous sensation
on the stage both in New York and
London, has been selected by the Fa-
nous Players as the foundation for the
photoplay of that name in which the
brilliant and versatile Pauline Fred
erick portrays the stellar role-that
Of the butterfly woman who plays at
love. futtering from one heart to an
other until she finally chooses the quiet,
studious Jean Gaussin as the one real
love of her life. His companionship
does much to change her life for the
better. revealing underneath the shall
low part of her nature, a big heart
and splendid character. In this
Paramount picture, the darkest side of
the tale is avoided, and great deal of
humor introduced to tighten the more
dramatic parts, of the photoplay. Miss
Frederick has created from this famous
literary character a role that will lin
ger in the mind forever as one of her
very greatest screen achievements. The
star is most ably assisted by Thomas
Meighan. Frank Losee and Pedro de
Cordoba.
"Sapho" will be shown at the Garrick
