At Spencer Square,

When Jesse l.. Lasky presents Ger
aldine Farrar in her latest Aircraft
production, THE Devil Stone" at the
Spencer Square today and tomorrow,
the celebrated star will have as We
hicle a story of unusual interest, con-
siderably different from any of the
former film plays in which she has
thus far appeared. Cecil Il. DeMille
is responsible for the staging of the
latest Farrar vehicle, having produced
the picture from story of weird fas-
cination written by Beatrice DeAlille
and Leighton Osmun, and adapted to
the screen by Jeanne MACPHERSON.
Miss Farrar creates the role OF a SIM
pie Breton fisherwoman, removed after
the early part of the story to America
as the wife of an INSCRIPTIONS mil
lionaire owner of the fisheries, SilaS
Martin. The similarity of the mans
name with that of Silas Mariner, the
miser of fiction, is particularly appro,
pirate because Martin, who meets the
fisher girl in Brittany whittier he has
3 gone to subdue his employees who are
Elamoring for higher wages, demon
strates his misery impulses by marry
ing the girl in order to get possession
of a valuable emerald which she has
found along the seashore, and which,
in her simple, superstitious belief, is
relic of the legendary Queen Grenelda,
of Morse folk lore.
