Picture.
Beautiful Dorothy Dalton in The
Mating of MarCella' is the super
feature of Fridays splendid picture
program at the Colonial
This is one of the most human of
all screen dramas produced by
Thomas Fl. Ince and by all odds the
most successful. In addition to the
pictures vivid characterizations. its
action proceeds swiftly through a
succession of absorbing situations, of
deep love interest which give Miss
Dalton ideal opportunities for the
display of her remarkable talents.
Excellent camera work is a strik-
ing feature of this play and the
scenes shot" cover a wide range
from New York and marine views on
la yacht to woodland scenes in the
far west.
The Mating of Marcella" is a
strong domestic drama in which Miss
Dalton portrays the role of a
modiste's model who becomes in
yolved in another woman's plot to
obtain a divorce with alimony and by
a queer twist of fate, marries the in
tended victim of this plot.
Marcella is pretty refined Ameri-
can girl, warm hearted and courage
Gus, who lives in Strengthened cir
cumstances. To save the life Of her
father she innocently lends herself to
the scheme of a society woman to
obtain a divorce. This is prolific of
many interesting situations, all Of
which are graphically brought out.
No motion picture star has a larger
or more enthusiastic following than
Dorothy Dalton and popular interest
is on the qui vive wherever her
photoplays are shown.
( "The Mating of Marcella" is
s,,perb comedy drama which gives
Miss Dalton every opportunity to
utilize the exceptional gifts for emo
tional acting. Her role is full Of
subtleties and shades of deep emo
t;on. From every standpoint this is
photopiay of the brightest. and
most absorbing interest. The rich
d;splay of gowns in this newest lnce-
paramount photoplay is deserving OF
| special mention.
