Word has been received from the book

Italian Characters In This Feature.
In the five-reel picture, 1.-THE Tiger
Lily" at the Princess, Margarita Fish
er is cast in the role of Carmina, a
pretty Italian girl. The story contains
many Italian characters and centera
about an inn conducted by the girls
uncle in America. Near the inn is the
home of wealthy American, Philip
Remington, who has married an Ital-
ian woman, and the course OF events
plunge the story into the entangle-
mems of vendetta which originated
in Italy years before.
The tale is an interesting one, but
moves too slowly at the beginning, and
is rather obvious in plot. This rem
ders certain dramatic moments less
thrilling than they would otherwise
be, since the spectator is able to an
ticipate much of what is coming.
The settings are pleasing through
out and IN keeping with the story. The
scenes in the first reel, picturing the
life led by Carmina at the inn, are full
OF atmosphere, and the Italian types
are good. Margarita Fisher appears to
advantage in her role, and e. Allyn
Warren makes the most of his san
culinary part as Giovanni.
One of the best touches in this pro-
duction is the scene in which Carminu
induces the organ grinder, Antonio, to
sing his old aria from Pagllacci The
settings in and about the Remington
home are in pleasing contrast with
those taken at the inn.
Dutch Character for Mary.
Mary Pickford has been starred upon
