Dixie Picture Vivid.
Nothing could DO moro affecting
than3ths vivid picture of the greatest
tragedy of the world as told by the
Bike film all this week. One would
think the scenes in Auction of Souls
s had been pictured in Armania at the
ttiInesoi the persecution of this Chris
Ean people. They are given the
chance To declare for Mohammed, but
are true to Christ, and from this
comes their martyrdom, burnings'
Starvation, outrage beyond descrip-
ton and torture beyond the power Oh
the mind to realize.
The picture is too big and too al
sEecting for words to tell much OF the
Impressions 1t makes on the specta-
tor. It is so wonderfully true TO
humanity in all that it shows, that no
doubt Il. will be kept for years and
handed down as a historical manu-
script in picture. 1t couldn't be done
more worthily or be made to give a
clearer impression of actually. Each

Dorothy Gish the Feature.

Dorothy carries the whole burden OF
entertainment herself. the other roles
being inconsequential and without
enough real character to be OF live
human interest.
She impersonates an amusing type
Of Western girl-boy addicted to
mems clothes and cowboy style o!
Y life, riding we'll and shooting fast.
She Is charming in her Conversion
10 .weman's convential garb and her
method of obtaining it, by holding up
those who have It, is decidedly unique
the. brightest incident of the burles-
z que. The production has many OF
the elements Of sparkling satire
IN siille6 hands its material would
suffice, and it gets over in places as

whole is below those in which Doro-
thu has appeared, and becomes al
most wholly dependent on her anus

stage Success Filmed.
sPlease Get Married" at the Prin-
cess is one Of the thirty six estab-
lished stage successes purchased by
Screen Classics, Inc, for its stars.
Dramatic, reviewers agree that
@Piease Get Married" is filled with
spontaneous rapid-fire humor. 1t is
hilarious; in fact SO hilarious that its
farcical situations brought about by
the predictment Of the all too youth,
full newlyweds- are productive OF
gales OF laughter. Miss Dana's work
IN the Metro productions is notable
Indications Of how much at home she
rs in farrial role. Her talents as

competent critics of screen art.
