change in the character of Edith
Storey's screen impersonations. This
picture when will be shown at the
Ditmas today and tomorrow signal
ICES the departure of Miss Storey from
daIniaS of Western life into the field
of romantic comedy.
AS Perdita in THE Demon" she
has a role as different from those In
her recent pictures. " Treasure CT the
Sea-" THE Claim" and THE Legion
of Death" 81 salt is from sugar. Tile
Characterization, that OF an American
girl sold in childhood in an Algerian
slave market and reared in the pan
dit-ridden hills of Corsica, runs the
range of emotions n is just such
a part as this gifted actress fairly
revels In.
Barbara Castleton, in "Heredity, &"
will be shown also today and tomor-
row, n 0 are advised to see 1t
1t is a story that is true to life, prob
ably enacted in everyday life, but
never has been produced in this man
ner. Her face kept him from falling

watch forbade her from marrying Q
rich man. The picture is unusnal
the star is great and the cast is com
posed of stars.
ROYAL.
Another triumph for motion pic
tufe art over that of the stage is scor-
ed by Brown of Harvard" the Per-
lection Picture at the Royal theatre
today.
Again the screen demonstrates its
unlimited field for realism in the pre-
s~entation Off this romance in life al
the great eastern college.
The picture is an adaptation from
the famous novel and audible play by
Rita Johnson Young and Gilbert P
Coleman. Hazel Honey DAILY and
Tom Moore are it's co-stars. with Sid
ned Ainsworth heading an excellent
supporting cast. 1t was produced by
William N. Selig.
Compared with the speaking drama
the silent production is infinitely bet
ter in detail. The great Yale-Har-
ward boat race, IN impossibility or
the stage, is shown from beginning
to end in the picture, with its at
tendant thrills and cheering throngs
