Edith storey proves again in Mon
ey Magic" the Vitagraph Blue Rib
bon feature, to be shown at the Pas
time theater on Sunday and Monday,
in which she plays with Antonio Mo-
reno and William Duncan. that she is
one OF the most versatile players on
the beloved screen.
Her role is that of a young girl
brought up on a ranch who marrfes =
wealthy miner. also lacking in the
ways of conversation and society. The
struggle which she suffers in her at
tempt to learn the why's and where
fores of her cultured enighbors is
realistically portrayed in a humorous
manner, interspersed with touches OF
pathos
There is no star on the screen to
day who could interpret this part bet
ter than does Miss storey. She seems
to have gotten right into the spirit of
her role and makes IT a living one
throughout
Then as she slowly masters the
thousand details for herself she is
thrown into contact with her hus-
bands people. They are far more ig-
norant than she ever thought of be-
ing, and evidently jar upon her, but.
conscious Of her own shortcomings a
few months previous. she makes an
effort to place them at their ease and
at the same time impart to them
some knowledge of etiquette.

versatility, Edith Storey proves in
this varied role that she has been
worthy of any, praise ever bestowed.
