s1The Cinderella Man"

''The Cinderella Man"
Every December all big film COM
panies have what they call Christ
mas release" which is always an un-
usually splendid feature. The Gold
wynn Co. released this year as its
Christmas story the Cinderella
Man." and the Paramount Co. pre-
sented "The Seven Swans" as its
Christmas gift, and it so happens
that these two are coming to Ocala
this week
The first one, "The Cinderella
Man." will be shown tonight, and is
a new reel. 1t is cheer-up story of
kindly sensibilities depicting the dis
position of rich little girl to relieve
distress, and of her native tenderness
of heart the story interest depends,
as the Cinderella Man" himself is al
most too good to be true. He is an
exaggerated type of the Temperament
tai writer who is so in love with his
work that he scorns wealth. We know
him best when he is so devoted to his
work that he lives in an ideal world
most of the time, often careless Of
his material interests because his
habits of thought prevent him from
concentrating on the practical neces-
sity of making that work pay; he is
rarely so narrow as to actually scorn
those who are born to riches, but that
is mere detail. In a garnet lives
poor, starving artist at his work,
when across the roof from the home
of a millionaire comes the million
aires daughter with a Christmas
feast. In this she is aided and allotted
by three old cronies of her father, de-
lightful old boys, who scamper across
the snow-covered roofs in evening
dress and silk hats in the interest of
true love. This act of impulsive
kindness leads to a romantic attach
ment between the impoverished writer
and the girl, whom he believes to be
the companion. of the heiress. The
stars in this picture are Mae Marsh,
the splendid Little Dear One" in
Intolerance, and Tom Moore.
