MARY MILES MINTER
FOX'S TOPLINER

Dainty Mary Miles Iinter is the
star attraction at Fox's theater today.
in an appealing 5-act drama entitled
Social Briars", with other short
dramas and comedies
In social Briars'' Miss Minter
plays Iris Lee, a dreamy-eyed little
beauty of sleepy Dalton, who chafes
under irksome restraints of village
life and the crude advances of village
beaux and trims her pretty wings for
flight when the ills of life become in
supportab1e, only to find that life in
q village may be rendered quite en-
durable once that village becomes the
abode of love.
The story involves Iris Lees deter
mination to seek her fortune in New
York, her encounters with theatrical
managers who desire to star her at a
price, her romance with Jack Colwell,
q millionaire who turns out to be a
regular fellow, her return to Dalton
as a successful soloist with the mil
lionaire in hot pursuit, and the gen
eral happy ending Of a little girls
dreams that looked dangerous in the
beginning.
Admirers of the works of Gouver-
neur Morris, the popular writer of
magazine stories and best selling fic-
ton, will probably flock to Fox's thea
ter, tomorrow, to see Jewel Carmen
in THE Fallen Angel. This is based
on Morris fam story, You Can't
Get AWAY With IT. which caused a
sensation a short time ago, when it
was published in the Cosmopolitan

Fallen Angel were secured from the
author at q colossal figure. SO great
was the success of the story in book
and magazine form that motion pic
ture producers made fattering bids
for permission to show it on the
screen. But William Fox. after
months of negotiations. finally sue
ceeded in securing it for production
in his Special Features Series.
Jewel Carmen, as the girl who
loved luxury more than honor, has
never risen to such passionate dra-
matte heiehts as in this stirring pic
ture. 1.-THE Fallen Angel is pic
ture that will be long remembered by
every motion picture soer who sees
Jewel Carmen in the role of the weak,
yet strangely appealing heroine. In
scene after scene it tugs at the chart,
and then ends with a powerful smash
that will raise you from your seats.
Tomorrow also marks the fifteenth
and last episode of that thrilling Wit
agraph Serial 1.-The Woman in the
web" and it moves with the rapidity
of a trip hammer from beginning to
end. with action galore at the hnlsh.

PREPARATIONS FOR

AS an added attraction at the Ly-
Ceum theater for today and tomorrow
Lessee George LIE Witt has secured a
special complete film presenting for
the first time views of the Allied prep
aratiOns for the present drive being
made against the Crown Prince on the
Rheims scissors front. The pictures
arc complete in every detail
Special interest is alta ched to the

This film sheds more light on Foch's
preparations to hit the HUNS than any
pictures previously released to the
public. 1t is not to he confused with
the regular news pictures released
weekly but is distinctly different from
any ever shown here before.
