Beautiful May Allison in the five act
Metro play 'Social Hypocrites, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney Drew in a Metro comedy, a
Paramount Photograph and cartoon will
compose Thursdays feature program.
"Social Hypocrites" is brilliant drama
in which the blighting influences of lie
are traced through two generations. May
Allison plays the intensely interesting
part of Lenore Fielding, daughter Of the
man falsely accused of card cheating.
The lie ruins his life and bids fair to
wreck her own. At social game of
bridge, malicious people try to prove that
in the handling of cards she is truly her
fathers daughter. A distinguished cast
is seen in this distinguished play which
gives a faithful picture of English So
ciety.
We take pleasure to announce that
Sessue Hayakawa, the famous Japanese
SC. cen star, whose artistic work in Para
mount pictures has placed him in the
front rank of cinema artists, will be seen
in his latest photoplay, 'The Bravest
way, dC Oul tuCdIlC HCAC Iluoy' fsAA'
Hayakawa is distinguished for the finish
ed artistry which characterizes all of his
screen portrayals, and all who saw him
in his recent photoplays of "I1idden
Pearls" and "The Honor of His House, :"
two of his most successful starring vehl-
cles, may be assured that his portrayal of
the role of an humble gardner in 'The
Bravest Way" who sacrifices his love
10 ha of
dured friend, is one of the most artistic
of his cinema career. Friday there will
also be shown Montgomery Flagg COM
edy and the Animated Weekly.
A novelty presenting William S. Hart,
the famous Thomas H. Ince Aircraft star,
in a role wherein he exhibits extreme
egotism, is in itself original and yet in
the end, the selfshness of this man is
overcome by love of good, pure woman.
1t is in the role of "Selfish Yates" in
the picture of the name just released, in
which Mr.. Hart doubtless will again
score a decisive hit with his admirers
who will see it Saturday. The locale of
"Selfish Yates" is, as in all of Mr.. Hart's
pictures, mining town with the newt
able dance hall and gambling den. that
are part and parcel of such communities.
The regeneration of "Selfish Yates"
through his love for Mary Adams,
young, innocent, trusting girl, is so differ
ent from the theme of any other story in
which Mr. Hart has been seen heretofore
as to make it distinct creation and he
gets out of it all that was written into
the part of "Selfish Yates" by C. Gardner
Sullivan, the talented author, and more.
A Pathe Comedy and Hearst News will
complete Saturdays fine offering.
Enid Bennett, the pretty and popular
Australian screen star, makes her Para
mount debut under the auspices of Thom-
as H. Ince on Monday in ''The Keys of
the Righteous" This is story OF the
life and adventures of Mary Manning in
the woods of Wisconsin with her invalid
mother, her grim old grandfather and an
uncle. Her mother has been waiting
each day for eighteen years for the re-
turn of her father, derelict now, and
drunkard in a nearby town. When he
finally does come, it is only in tune to be
present at his wife's funeral, for the
shock of the reunion proves too much for
her slender strength. Without even Tom
Gale, the strong young Woodsman who
had come to take so large place in her
life and who had recently gone away on
a trip, Mary is left to struggle on alone.
Her efforts to guard her father from
further "backsliding" and the great sac
rifice she makes for him later, earns for
her not only happiness and the great love
of Tom Gale, but also the affection of her
crusty old grandfather.
The screen achievements of William
Farnum the popular William Fox star
