"ALL WOMAN" NEW
MARSH PICTURE,
is TENSE DRAMA.
Goldwyn Star Has Powerful Role in
Photoplay, Coming to Dixie
Theatre Very Soon.

"The gladdest and the saddest face
en- the SCREEN" which the inimitable
Mae Marsh is said to possess, comes
TO delight the admirers of the Good
wyn star in "All Woman" by E.
Lloyd Sheldon, at the Dixie Theatre
soon.
In role replete with great dra-
matte opportunities, in which the
wlnsome charm of the slim star is
afforded wide scope, Mae Marsh
promises to give the screen world a
sensation. The originality of the play
its gripping human quality and its
steady, certain development up to the
moment of the powerful climax leave
nothing to be desired. "All Wo-
ran" is not just a photodrama, but
a compelling example of what Gold
dwyn is doing to dignity an dstreng-
then the literature of the silent dra-
lla.
AS the working girl who inherits
neither money nor vast estates, but
mountain hotel, Mae Mash is said
t. exhibit the rlost appealing phase
of her indisputed talents. When she
discovers that it is not a luxurious
hostelry of which she has become
owner, but resort of evil reputation,
Miss Marsh poltrays all the pangs of
girlish disillusionment. From chat
moment until tie last scene in the
play the story of "All Woman" gains
Unsteady, cumulative power until the
chance is given the girl from the city
to reach moment of glorious self
sacrifice for the man she loves.
The role of Susan Sweeney runs the
gamet of the emotions, ranging all
the way from timid bewilderment
when the girl learns of her-inherit-
ance until she throws away reputa-
ton, honorand the respect of the
man she loves for the sake of this
very man. 1t is confidently expected
b. Goldwyn that Mae Mash in "All
Woman" will scorethe most substan
tial success of her remarkable career.
The Story.
Susan Sweeney works in a New
York toy factory, where she was be-
loved for her optimism and strength
OF character. A letter arrives an
neuncing that she has become half
owner, with one William Kibby, of
an hotel in the Adirondacks. The
writer, Austin Strong, encloses a
check pending his arrival to talk over
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1918-08-02

stay with his sister for the night.
Strong does not understand why Su-
san and Miriam recognize each other
but thinks no more of it when Susan
gives him an evasive answer. The
love he has felt for the girl from the
first now springs to his lips. But Su-
san says she is not worthy of him or
his career.
Upper calls on Miriam, making it
clear that he knows all about her Wis
il to the hotel. He means to use it
against her brother in the campaign
then under way. Susan begs him to
be fair and struggles with him for the
accusing page. Later Dick Welman
tries to buy Upper off and fight
cnsues in which Upper is killed Su-
san resolves to save Dick and conceals
him in the hotel
Susan will answer no questions.
This is NOR than Dick or Miriam
can bear They go to Strong and
make clean breast of everything.
The people believe in Strong and he
is elected. He comes to Susan for
forgiveness and she hesitates not a
moment. What she did she did for
love of him. Her future is one Of
perfect happiness.
