erick, whose latest film feature. The
Peace Of Roaring River" Is an eariy-week
attraction at the Metropolitan and
Knickerbocker theaters, Is recognized
a. one Of the most forceful emotionai
actresses Of the stage. Her command
Of the art Of portraiture is well nigh
complete: her resourcefulness In per-
fecting character detail is wonderful.
and IN recent years her portrayals nave
been of a nature calculated to SOUND
the depths Of intsrpretatiye power. Yer
thar Miss Frederick FIRST attracted the

talent in the theater.
Pauline Frederick was born in Bos-

ADVANTAGES Of thorough education. Her
ability in school plays prompted her first

fegsional stage. Emotional roles at that
time never even suggested themselves.
Her first metropolitan appearance was
music, "The Rogers Brothers in Har-
ward" at the Knickerbocker Theater,
New York, In 1902. So emphatic was
her success in this nonsensical piece
that It was followed by her engagement
for. at Happened in Nordland" and for
'aThe Music Master"

N. Parker's Biblical spectacle, "Jeseph
and His Brethren" was Pauline Fred
erick approached By emissarsss from s;.t the

when she accepted the offer. but subse-
quent events have proved the error Of
their judgment. Miss Frederick's wise
decision has had the effect Of multiply

questionably the finish Of her art since
her initial appearance in the celluloid
