STRAND.SHOWS
4 BIC PICTURE
1.-THE Mother and the Law" is
Dramatic ThunderbOIt"

A dramatic thunderbolt' is the
description given D. w. Griffith's new
production, The Mother and the
Law" to be seen here for the first
time today at the Strand Theatre.
Laughs, thrills and suspense are ad-
mirably blended in this latest of the
Griffith plays, while according to ad-
vance reports the climax is one of the
most gripping and powerful denoue-
ments thu far shown upon the screen.
Mae Marsh and Robert Harron, two
of the foremost players in the higher
grade of motion pictures, have the
principal characters in The Mother
and the law" Miss Marsh as a young
mother who is robbed of her child by
an established social condition, and
Mr.. Harron as the young husband
n father. Both of these favorites
are surrounded by a company of un-
usual strength, including Miriam
Cooper, Ralph Lewis, Walter Long,
Vera Lewis, Alberta Lee, Margaret
Marsh, Lloyd Ingraham and Tod
Browning.
Those who are familiar with Mr..
Griffith's former triumphs, The Birth
of a Nation" Hearts of the World
1.-THE Fall of Babylon" and "Intoler-
ance," will take a keen interest in
The Mother and the Law" since the
majority of the players are those who
have figured prominently in former
Griffith super-pictures. and the artis-
tic and unusual photography is by G.
w. Bitter, whose work stands out Sc
magni1cently in all the Griffith plays.
In accordance with his established
policy of providing a special musical
score for each of his productions,
Mr.. Griffith has entrusted Mr.. Louis
Gottschalk, who composed the music
for 1.-The Fall of Babylon" with the
exacting task of supplying an appro-
| pirate orchestral arrangement for the
many important Genes and incidents
of the play.

AT THE DITMAS

Stanley Warren (Crane Wilbur) in
love with Alice fremont is shown in
this p~hotoplay giving a party to a
number of his friends in honor of his
t~wenty-first birthday. His uncle's
lawyer arrives in company with
Chancey Holbrook, Stanley's rival,
prepared to read the uncle's will.
Stanley exclaims: Read it to the
bunch" The will gives Stanley n
thousand a month until his twenty
first birthday, but if he spends it all
he is disinherited. To regain his in
heritance he is compelled to spend a
month in the open without clothes.
Next he is seen covered with nothing
but twigs and leaves IN a lonely wood
where he is discovered by a girl in
mate of an orphanage. She agrees
to help him out of his dilemma by
supplying him with a blanket and
then June Day, his rescuer takes him
to the home of Oliver True, a very
old man who has been telling her
fairy tales. Next day he appropri-
ates the suit of a neighzor, who hap
pens to be Judge Peabody, whose
sister says: Let him work for us
for thirty days instead of sending
him to jail" The judges sister falls
in love with Stanley but he favors
the little orphan girl. Chancey Hol-
brook takes Alice fremont, Stanley's
old sweetheart, out for a ride and
comes up before Judge Peabody for
speeding, and all meet very unex-
pectedly at a party arranged by the
judges sister. Stanley's sweetheart
decides to remain there some time
for a visit. This a the rival
and he sends the cops to run Stanley
out of town. A terrific fight takes
place n the cops lose. The judges

sister becomes jealous of the orphan
girl and has her expelled from
school. Stanley overtakes her in the
home of Oliver True, who takes them
to the office of the uncle'S lawyer,
who returns the legacy to him, but
he is very much surprised to learn
that if he did not comply with all
requirements of the will hal it con-
tanned a clause giving all the proper
ty to June Day, the little orphan girl.
Gods Outlaw" a powerful delin-
cation of a mans struggles to regain
his lost faith, is the attraction at the
Ditmas theatre with Francis X.
Bushman and Beverly Bayne, the
clever co-stars in roles of distinctive
character.
The play tells of Andrew Craig, a
young lawyer who first loses the girl
he loves and then later his mother
to whom he was devoted. The dou-
BILE loss embitters him to such an
extent that he believes the hand of
is against him and declares HIM
self a religious outlaw-God's out
law.
He leaves the town of his misfor-
tunes and seeks a remote village
where he begins life anew. Although
his hand is against the church his
greatest friend is the priest of the
village church who recognizes the
splendid qualities of the young man.
1t is not long, however, before he
finds happiness and renewed hope in
a beautiful romance which leads him
back to the faith he had fpresworn.
The play is cleverly enacted and
has am exceptional asst which in

to two highly respectable and domest-

that their respective spouses have
been having a time more a than
