The screen version Of "Iris" has
been effectively and appropriately pro-
duced by an English film company with
one Of their most charming and accom-
phshed screen actresses in the title
role. The original drama caused more
or less discussion when Virginia
Harmed created the role In this coun.
try several years ago.
Virginia Pearson, the William Fox
star, has begun another picture under
the direction Of Carl Harbaugh. Those
OF the supporting company already Sc
lected are Gladys Kelly, Herbert Evans
and Carl Moody.

Big billing for Hawaiian Production.

The paper" being used in advertls-
ing "a Daughter of the Sum-" the
Hawaiian romance coming to the
Grand opera house next Tuesday
night, is very attractive Autograph
work and is causing much comment
in the neighboring towns where it has
already been placed in the windows.
The Hawaiian thing is the rage just
now and this show with native troupe
of Hawaiian musicians would awaken
much interest and with fine billing in
addition the chances are that the ca.
pacity Of the theJfre will be tested.
The seating capacity of the Grand
opera house is hardly large enough for
/. city as big as this and the chances
are that all who wish to attend this
show will not ge: seats. Placing the
boxes and orchestra seats at $3.50 the
Grand will hold about $500 at these
prices and while this would satisfy the
travelling company it is not so large a
gross business as Fairmont should
give an attraction OF this merit.

Born in Marin county, California,
Miss Sais early learned the reckless
manner Of life which characterizes the
catuemen of that region. Her cour.

on into stage work at an early age.
When she found opportunity to go
into pictures, however, she imme.
diately deserted the theatre for the
more outdoor and athletic life of the
films.
