MYSTERY GIRL
At THE ROYAL
Romantic Story Of Love and
War to Be Attraction
Today

The romantic aspects of war are
emphasized in 1.-The Mystery Girl" the
Paramount picture in which Ethel
Clayton Is starred and which will be
shown at the Royal today. From a
story by George Barr McCutcheon,
who Is known as one Of Americas
most popular novelists, this story Is
said to give Miss Clayton a vehicle
admirably suited to her talents.
Like SO many of Mr.. McCutcheon's
stories The Mystery Girl" has to do
with q mythical kingdom. But the
locales are realistic, being the west
front In France and the oast OF
Maine in this country.
Ethel Clayton is introduced as the
Countess Ted" alias ATT, a motor
ambulance driver in France. She and
her uncle, Prince Sebastian, h rul-
er of Lurania, have been driven from
their country by the Germans. Prince
Sebastian goes to Green Fancy, Maine.
and wires for his niece to join him
there. AT the front she has been seen
by Captain Tom Barnes, U. s. A, who
is ordered home on leave and VINO
sees the Princess On the steamer again
and falls in love with her. She is
pursued by enemies and in an exeit-
ing series of adventures in this coun-
try, Captain Barnes assists her and
wins her love.
Miss Clayton is said to make an
adorable Princess Ted, and her al
ways artistic emotional acting makes
the character a living figure. Henry
Woodward is Captain Barnes and
other important members of the cast
are Clarence Burton, Winter Hall,
Maym Kelso, and J. Parks Jones.
Marion Fairfax wrote the scenario
of 1.-THE Mystery Girl" and William
C. de Mile directed It, Charles
schoenbaum was the photographer
and John Browne assisted in the d.
rection.
