day of Uncle Toms Cabin" is be
ing manifested here because Mar
guerite Clark, the dainty Paramount
star. will portray two roles, those
of little Eva and Topsy, two vastly
different DEMONSTRATIONS, but in
each of which she is seen at he-
best.
The amusing antics Of Topsy
provide scenes wherein Miss Clark
utilities the comedy talents which
she displayed on the speaking
stage, and as Eva she draws upon
her dramatic ability. The makeup
and rags of 'Topsy" completely dis
guises Miss Clark in this part,
which will be found to be in strong
contrast to the opposite role, and
the illusion is strengthened further
by a number of scenes in which the
two characters appear simulta-
neously. This is accomplished by
the use of double exposure photog-
raphy.
