One of the liveliest, breeziest and
most entertaining photoplays the
screen has had in some time will be
seer tomorrow at the Dftmas Theater,
when Select Pictures presents the
charming and delightful star, Alice
Brady, in her latest picture, His
Bridal Night"
The story revolves about vi and
Tiny Playfair, twins in years and per-
sonal appearance, but not in DISPOSE
ton or mind. vi is a gay, heartless
and faithful soul.
The night before Wis wedding to
Joe Damorel, vi tells Tiny that she Is
going to meet Lent Trevett out on
the grounds for a last fond farewell.
Tiny is Mortified at such a plan and
decides to meet Lent in Wis place.
The next day, after the wedding

dress, and there finds Lent waiting
for her. He tells her that she does
not owe Joe and she must go away

she not steal Joe, her sisters hus-
band?
Calling the maid she hurriedly gets
into the duplicate of Wis going-away

gether they go out of the house and
enter the waiting motor amidst show
ers of rice and confetti. The bride

vi, back in the house, has col

is the bride and hat Tiny has stolen
her husband. Coming to, however,
she rushes into her car with her bag,
and makes for Billy Barlow's bunga-
low in Tuxedo, where she has an Idea
that Joe has gone. An exciting chase
and a most astounding ending con-
clude this rollicking farce.
Particular interest attaches to the
presentation of His Majesty, the
American" the Douglas Fairbanks
picture which is now running at the
Ditmas Theater, because it is the first
offering of United Artists Corporation
the so-called Big Four" Mary
Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas
Fairbanks and D. w. Griffith, in jan
uary of 1919, decided to enter the
motion picture field as Independent
producers and distributors, releasing
their pictures direct to the theaters of
the country.
Fairbanks was the first to complete
a picture on the new basis and thus,
what will undoubtedly become the
biggest combination of screen artists,
was actually in operation less than a
year after its inception.

smuggler, and the self-sacrifce of a
young English doctor who pore the
stigma of a btgamist in his attempt to
conceal what he believed to be the
dishonor attached to the reputation of
his ~fiancee's dead father.
Warner as Capt. Clyde Mannering,
the young doctor, has excellent scope
for his splendid talents, and he works
convincingly. This splendid actor
never o%veracts, out his work is none
the less effective for his quiet, tense
methods.
The production teens with color
and action. The story starts out with
a strong, dramatic situation, an adven-
turess Matchmaking the young physi-
clan by threatening to reveal a sup
posed scandal in the life of his fan
GEES father. To protect his sweet
hearts name and that of her father,
Mannering pays the woman her price,
only to find that his actions were mis-
construed by the girl and her mother,
who believe that the woman is his
own wife whom he has put aside.
His affair broken off, Mannering
goes to India. When the girl and her
mother later arrive in India, he finds
himself involved in a maze of in
trigue, the announcement leading to
a fateful end for the Oriental after a
desperate fight with Mannering who
has traced Helen to his house and

idea of ever appearing on the screen,
and from the height of sixteen years,
with two years of stage experience
In Australia, of course-was inclined
to look slightingly even on the Bat
tie of Gettysburg" and the Thomas
H. Ince presents meant nothing to
me.
The unexpected which always hap
pens in the theatrical world. brought
me to America, the home of the mo-
ton picture Mr.. Ince happened to
see my performance a s. 'Modesty' in
Mr.. Savage's morality play, and all
unonsciously my fate was sealed. He
insisted that I should try at least one
picture under his direction. He SEEM
ed very confident and in "a hypnotic
way brought me to see things in the
roseate way in which he presented
them.
j Mr.. Ince had a story especially writ
ten for my debut before the camera.
The part assigned to me was that OF
a blind girl in a pretty, pathetic
phantasy, that seemed to hold good
opportunities of pathos with glimpses
of comedy. The greatest difficulty was
that throughout four reels I was to
be absolutely blind, and I shall never
forget the curious feeling I experience
ed in cropping about an unfamiliar
stage, endeavoring to convey to the
audience that / was quite unaware OF
my surroundings. This Is an extreme
ly difficult task. as the slightest mo-
ton of self-consciousness would I'M
mediately destroy the illusion. The
entire technique of the screen was
new to me, and there was nothing in
my past experience that could aid
me in my new line of work. The last
reel brought me q little relief as by
a wonderful operation my sight was
suddenly restored, and no one could
be more profoundly grateful than l
was.
The picture completed, / was nat
urally very anxious to see the result.
I was not so much interested in the
total effect as I was to find out If my
assured. affection told true. 1 be-
live 1t did, as I received many letters
of sympathy from persons who were
unknown to me, and one offer from
an eye doctor to advertise some in
vention Of his own-something with a
