OF his activities. In "A Regular Fell !

South America to New York and he Is
also tangled up with gang of robbers.
Timidity had been his most strong
characteristic in this screen produc-
ton until he became infatuated and
with his ardor aroused by the "one
woman" having previously been a
woman hater, then this faint hearted
individual develops unexpected ability
as a fighter.
| The play brstles with fun and the
audience is kept in almost a continu-
GUS roar of laughter.
The third episode OF the sensational
seriel Smashing Barriers" is also on

is a question that pops up quite promi-
nately in the new photo play at the
Strand today, True Heart SUSIE in
which Lillian Gish is the star.
In this production Susie May True

roll She is forced to smile as though
her being were surcharged with happi-
ness while as a matter of fact her
heart is breaking and everybody in the
audience knows it and knows why. 1t
is the most markable production Miss
lGish has undertaken and far exceeds
the tremendous artistic success which
she recorded in Broken Blossom"
While the play is full of tenderness
and thrills IL has it's pleasing and
humorous side; for instance the shock
of the sedate church going community
to discover the minister's wife dane
ling the "shimmy" with a young chap
called Sporty" and she was some
dancer.
