Paradise Garden. at the Princess
today and tomorrow, reflects the life
of the great outdoors. II was produced
en- a great California estate, the natural
beauty Of which has been left undis.
turbed To his hearts content. Jerry
Eenham enjoys all the outdoor sports
in this vast paradise. He rides on his
favorite horse over hill and valley,
takes his kennel OF pedigreed dogs for
a romp, fishes in the picturesque trout
stream. and hunts game in his own
woods.
This constant outdoor existence with
annals and birds develops Jerry into
a vigorous. healthy young man. This
rugged role gives Harold Lockwood
full opportunity for the display OF his
craftsmanship.
The outdoor scenes in this wonder
play give an excellent idea OF the es
tates of the West Coast multi.mil.
lionaires. The boy. Jerry, leads the
same outdoor life and INDUCES in the
same manly sports enjoyed by the
sens Of California's men of wealth.

ments. From then on they are known
by their adopted names. Rose be.
comes a social fayorite, but Norma
falls into the hands OF Calistro, a
charlatan hypnotist. Under his guild.
ance she becomes hypnotic subject
and Calistro is taken UP by society.
AT social entertainment, Calistro
notices the resemblance between
Rose and Norma. The girls do not
know each other and the man secured
information to prove that they are
both the daughters of a condemned
murderer and the woman who com.
mitted suicide in the tenement. With
this he confronts Rose. and she. real
izing her position, breaks her engage
ment with young Alden, millionaire,
and fees to Bermuda. Alden, on ac.
count OF the resemblance, is filled with
pity for Norma. and begins to make
love to her. How Rose returns and
affairs are finally Strengthened out
makes an interesting climax.
Fannie Ward assumes the roles of
the mother. which is a rather small
part, Rose and Norma. The different
characters do not call for great
display OF talent, but Miss Ward gets
all the possible value out of each.
There are but few double exposures
and these are exceptionally we'll done.
However, one must constantly marvel
at the actresses ability to portray
youthfulness.
In the department OF direction.
George II. Melford and Mr.. auckland
have made a production that comes
up to the usual standard of Lasky
pictures. The dramatic action is
smooth and runs at an even speed.
