The advantage of the films in pre- senting big plays is illustrated in The Song of Songs, the Aircraft picture, starring Elsie Ferguson, now being shown at the Davis theatre. The play by Edward Sheldon was presented on the stage in four acts, while the screen adaptation by Charles Maigne con- tains upwards of two hundred scenes. Matters that are talked about in the stage play are actually shown in the rhotoplay. Miss Ferguson has the reputation of being one or the best dressed women in New York, and in The Song of Songs, which is being saown at the Davis theatre, opportu- nity is afforded to display her ward robe as the wife of the rich ex-Sena- tor Calkins moving in the fast set of the great metropolis. Miss Ferguson also wears many of her jewels. in cluding a priceless string of pearls. The other feature is Jack Richardson iu Man Above the Law, a five-part Triangle production. and there Is also a Funny comedy.
