MARGUERITE CLARK
HAS LEAD|NC ROLE
IN FITCH COMEDY
Sweetest Girl on the Screen"
Will be at Strand Three Days
Starting Thursday in Play
Entitled Girls"

Beautiful little Marguerite Clark
on the screen. will appear at the Strand
next Thursday. Friday and Saturday
in a new picture entitled Girls" The
photoplay is based upon a delightful
comedy by the late Clyde Fitch, noted
dramatist and affords the charming
little star a splendid vehicle.
The story Is original in plot and Is
considered to be one of Clyde Fftch's
best plays. 1t concerns the attempts
of young and beautiful self-styled
mani ater to dodge Cupid's darts and
her final surrender to the god Of love.
HATES 'EM ALL
Having been forsaken by a lover
earlier in life she loses faith in men
and avows an eternal hatred against
all of the tribe. Together with two of
her girl companions she forms a man
haters' club. But her two charter
members gradually weaken on their
rigid policy and form secret entangling
alliances with Cupid standing by and
laughing in his sleeve.
Thus deserted by her comrades in
arms and confronted by an ardent
sweetheart who didn't know the mean
ing of the word mo" and whom she
couldn't help but admire she is forced
to substitute for her vow of hatred
the marriage vow, which wasn't at ali
to her displeasure.
Clara Beranger and Alice Eyton
wrote the scenario and Walter Ed
wards directed.
Included in the supporting cast are
Mary Warren, Helene Chadwick, Har-
rison Ford. Lee Hill. Thomas d. Persse
Virginia Foltz and other equally popu-
lar players.

PRETTY DANCERS To EXPRESS MUSIC BY
POETRY Of NOTION At P|NNEY DEG. 2

niffcance and singular beauty are these
illustrations of the moods of the piano
masterpieces, and one who sees them
wonders why the great classics of
music are not more often portrayed
this way.
1t is an attraction Of the highest ar
tistic merit. and remarkable for its
astonishing grace and beauty. The
six young girls were chosen by Isadora
Duncan from among a number Of
others and trained by her up to the
time when she felt that they were
artists in their own right. They ex-
press by pose and gesture the moods
of the composers. 1t is an experience
well worth while to see such physical
expressions of rhythm associated with
the masterpieces of instrumental har-
mony. Their interpretations have been
carefully prepared and they como. be-
fore great audiences in every large
city with the serene poise and grace Of
Greek statuary, awakened suddenly to
life by the strains Of mastery music.
The dancers in pairs, or singly, or in
ensemble, visualize the moods OF the
music supplied by the consummate art
of Mr.. Copeland.
George Copeland is a pianist of ex-
ceptional skill and erudition, investing
his work with charms and graces all
it's own. Even without the dances, this
program by such a solo artist would be
memorable thing for music lovers.
With such opponents of the poetry OF
notion the same enthusiastic praise
which this unique grouping Of enter
tainers has received in other cities II
more than likely to be realized wher-
ever they go.

of young New Yorker who lives on
excitement. His unquenchable thirst

a tidy fortune.

If you have a railroad story up your

duction as a motion picture here is
your chance,
There Is only one condition: You
must know what you are talking about.
You must know railroading and you
must know the language and customs
of railroaders. If you are a railroad
man yourself-or II not a man, the

But of this condition more later.
