for the Marion Davies Film company,
an Interpretation OF Katherine Havi-
land Taylor's popular novel, Cecilia
Of the Pink Roses" is announced by
Manager Greuenall Of the Washington
theater as the attraction for today and
tomorrow.
The story. which is on the order of
sociological and psychological
sketch depicting the mental and spir-
1tual struggle imposed upon a daugh-
ter of the tenements by her sudden
rise In riches, Is rather familiar
through the big sile Of the book. The
sweet simplicity of the narrative has
been retained by Samuel M. Weller in
his adaptation in scenario form, and at
tho same time he has brought out with
vivid clarity the tense dramatic Incl
dents that were merely limited at or
lightly touched upon in. the book by
the author. 1t is needless to suggest
that in the hands of director Of Ju-
Illus Steger's ability both the saccha-
rine and punchy phases have been
made to stand out without the one de-
tracing from the effectiveness Of the
other.
