Starring vehicle which lacks the dra,
matte strength and tensity of BELLA
Donna" Zaza, or The Slave Mar
kct," but which, nevertheless, offers
plenty Of opportunity for Miss Fred
erick to display her talent.
One of the outstanding features Of
the work of this star in this particu-
lar Offering is the complete change
Of character from any CT her pre-
v:ous billings. Here she is seen as
the devoted young wife and mother
scOrned for another but fighting for
her own flesh and blood. The plot is
sufficiently deep to create couple
OF strong characters and Miss Fred
erick is splendid in one of these while
the other is ably handled by Thomas
Meighan, another big fayorite with
patrons of the Liberty. Sleeping

The time is rapidly approaching
when The Spoilers probably the
greatest film ever shown in Honolulu,
will close its engagement at the Bijou

This is not one of those farewell
performances for which European
stars are famous but a genuine affair.
The Spoilers goes out Of existence
as a photoplay in the near future, &C
c0rding to the producers. The reason
given is that an agreement to this
effect was made when the picturiZa
tiCn rights were secured.
William Farnum in his original role

Opposite t. Farnum there is Kathyln
Williams and this combination OF
stars has added considerably to the
strength of the cast OF course, Far
mum appeared at his best in the
original film but the newer extended
offerings brings out a number of the
stronger features of the Rex Beach
book that were omitted in the first
ylaCe.
Tor those who have never seen The
film there is rare treat in store or
those who saw it on its last visit to
Honolulu there is also a rare treat.
Even without any changes it is worth

Gladys Brockwell, who has already
appeared at the Hawaii in the lead
ing role in both The End of the
Trail" and Sins of Her Parent" is
again featured in "One Touch of
Sin," a typical Fox melodramattc pro-
duction. The story is laid in west

in the silent drama are in the West.
How a woman steals to provide for
her child, is almost discovered but
saved through the kindness of hulk
Of a miner in love with her and her
child, and how another man, the
father of the child, enters their lives
and ultimately wins back the woman
is the basis of the story. There are
numerous stirring scenes and the play
wright has drawn heavily upon the
supply of thrilling incidents, making
a photodrama that is strongly in co1-
trast with The Floor Walker"
