meshes of the frivolous girl who paints and powders and wears silk stockings and such. True Heart Susie" doesn't present very consolng solution to their problem, but it does give a true answer.
 Lillian Gish appears as Susie Mey Trueheart, the plain girl who lives with her aunt in typical litle village of Pine Grove, Ind Robert Harron is Will liam Jenkins, the boy who lives across the street William is Susie's idol, and when she knows he wants to go to col lege to study to be the village minister it is Susie who silently sacrifices Daisy, her COW, to help pay his way. But when he returns to Pine Grove it Is Betty Hopkins, a frivolous little milliner from Chicago, who wins him first.
 True to her name, Susie remains con- stant to her love and even lies to shield his wife when the latter steals out one night to a gay party, loses her key and
 is caught in heavy storm. However, after Betty's death as the result of eS- posture that night Susie's aunt opens
 Williams eyes to the true heart of Susie and one of Bettys gay friends reveals
 Bettys duplicity, so the plain girl with a trae heart and minus powder, paint, frills and 'tcute ways" comes into her own at last.
 The quaint characters and environ nlsnt of the village locale are pictured with i'm preSsive fidelity by MT. Griffith who has unfolded with sustained interest a homely pastoral romance which many another director would have made bor- l ing and tedious. Needless to say, the | photography is superb and the few quaint interiors used brmful of atmos- phere.
 Now, as to the cast the actors; when you go to see a Griffith" picture you always expect to see Lillian Gish, Rob- ert Harron, Clarne Seymour, and many | of the people who made The Birth of | a Nation" 'Intolerence," and the rest the great successes that they were and | in ''True Heart Susie'' we are not dis appointed. because Lillian Gish who car raise a tear as quickly as her sister Dorothy can provoke a smile is there and also Robert Harron-these popular actors in the leading roles," of course l Whimsical and brim full of manner 1 isms'' as ever. Lillian Gish infests the character of True Heart Susie' with all the pathos and lovable little queer
 traits which are distinctly "Gish-y" nc matter what she plays; particular good
 are the various "close-ups' which re- veal the ethereal and quaint beauty oi ] Lillian Gish--if it is beauty; you know 1 the great MT. Griffith himself declared l when he first behed her that she was l "the most beautiful blonde in the world l Robert Harron has very human role | in William Jenkins-and he plays it witf discrimination and taste-charac cterstiC of this clever actors art, always.
 Clarine Seymour whom MT. Griffith has featured" recently, being one o1 his latest "finds"-has done better act ing than she does the little milliner she exaggerates her walk and manner

 David Wark Griffith has chosen this sort
 of theme for his photoplay, True Heart

 "The powder puff instead of the oth- CT kind of powder, a plainly dressed lit tie simple hearted sweetheart girl, whose | lips have never known rouge, whose eye brows have never known the touch of the charcoal pencil, these and minis ter form the triangle of the story on which the picture is built

 | Few have the genius or the artistic sense to take a theme as simple and ] as homely as the one MT. Griffith has 1 chosen for True Heart Susie and make l any sort of a picture whatever out or lit. that requires genius of the highest order and this MT. Griffith unquestion- ably possesses as we all know.
 | In a distinctly human vein MT.

 | At the very beginning we see that True Heart Susie' is dedicated to l women, particularly to the woman who waits and to their sympathies and ap- | preciation of it's truth it will make it's ! strongest appeal. Hence, its success as | a box office attraction is assured. It might in all seriousness be called a ] pathetic answer to the scores of letters
