ELSIE FERGUSON PROVES DELIGHTFUL IN HER NEW PICTURE, "THE DANGER MARK

The beauty and talent of Elsie Fer guson evidenced themselves most agreeably in her newest Aircraft photoplay, "The Danger Mark which is presented for the first time in this city at the Coliseum Theatre for tonight and Wednesday.
 To see Elsie Ferguson, the famous Aircraft star, in any photoplay is a delight, but to see her in her latest picture, "The Danger Mark" is both delightful and educational.
 This picture is based upon the celebrated novel of Robert w. Cham bers, the famous American author of many ''best sellers" and the theme deals with the trials of a young society woman of wealth who has inherited a craving for drink from dissipated ancestor. How she overcomes this desire to drink to excess is told in a series of tense dramatic situations all of which aside from their interest, exert a strong heart appeal

 Yet due credit must go to Muriel Ostriche and Evelyn Greeley for their artistic work in the principal feminine roles. They are convincing, thoroughly sincere and charming. Miss Ostriche is especially strong in the emotional scenes which fall to her lot, and Evelyn Greeley, per feet example of the society type of woman, whose natural impulses are submerged beneath the cold waters of disdain for those not her equal in wealth and position. William Sherwood gives, satisfactory DOT trayal of Jerry Aston, whose un- praiseworthy code of morals is scarcely atoned for by his eleventh hour repentance, and excellent sup port is furnished by the supporting cast.

1.-THE HOSTAGE" IS
 COMING TO COLISEUM.

Beulah Marie Dix, the famous novelist who wrote ''The Hostage" which will be seen at the Coliseum on Saturday only, especially for Wal lace Reid, the popular Paramount star, has chosen most unusual theme for this vivid drama; namely, the mental attitude of rival countries towards each other Beulah Dix gleaned the idea from the present international situation and the way in which each country seems to re- gard the others with a mixture of pity and disdain, each believing it. self to be in the right and all others wrong.
