MARJORIE RAMBEkU FEATURE FOR TWO
 DAYS AT 0RPHEUM
Popular Actress Is Featured In Motherhood" Which Will Appear Today And Sunday At Popular Down town Showhouse.

Frank Powell. the director of Mar jorie Rambeau in Motherhood" which plays today and tomorrow at the Or pheum, is vice-president and director general of the Frank Powell Producing Corporation and one of the most sue cessful motion picture directors in the business.
 One of MT. Powells earliest ambi- tions was to be stage producer. He first faced the footlights with Eugenie Blair in "A Lady of Quality" Stock engagements followed and then small parts in first-class productions. AL ways he watched the stage director.
 He came to New York and Augustus Thomas made him assistant stage di- rector of "The Education of MT. Pipp." At the dress rehearsal he was made stage director. He stayed with the play for three years and then became director for various stock companies.
 Ellen Terry engaged him as stage director for her English tours and he spent three years with Miss Terry touring England. On his return to America he was engaged as stage di- rector for Fannie Ward in Lady Ban tock."
 His first motion picture engagement was with D. w. Griffith, then with Biograph, where he was the first actor to receive more than five dollars a day for work before the camera.
 His first picture with Miss Rambeau was "The Greater Woman" and in his second, Motherhood" he has achieved an even greater success in the opinion of many critics.
