From now on admirers of Goldwyn's
unique comedienne will never disas-
sociate one from the other. Mabel
Normand bids fair to score the great
est hit of her lively career.
Completely sinking her own per
sonality into that of the Hoosier hoy
den, she achieves a feat of acting like
nothing she has ever done. Mabel
Normand is the character already
known in every city, town and hamlet
of America through the success of the
stage play in which Rose Melville
made millions laugh a score of years
ago. Miss Melville, who assisted Miss
Normand in costuming the part, de-
clared that the screen ISIS Hopkins
promises to be even funnier than it
was as a nationally successful stage
play.
in Made Normand's portrayal of isis
Hopkins" and this, together with an
absorbing story, dramatic N convul-
sively funny by turns, causes Goldwyn
to predict a scucess which will sweep
the nation. Mabel Normand will
justify every belief in her right to oc-
cupy a place in her professionally
in the hearts of her admirers-that
she has never held before.

She was a good girl, she protested,

very strict-they were thrifty people
who thought decent clothes an extrav-
agance, who never allowed her to go
anywhere with young people. So she
had deceived them and had gone to
dances while pretending to visit her
cousin.

furious. He had called her dreadful
names, had locked her out OF uie
house and promised ito beat her up
| in the morning! And although she
nearly fro2e to death, she couldn't
knock at a neighbours door-her
father would feel disgraced and would
| beat her up twice for that!
Then the fellow" I had found her
with had come along. He was a new
"boardcr" in the block. He bought
her a hot drink at Il corner drug store,
coaxed her into Il street car Just tc

her, then to brighten her into going
with him to a hotel" And she hadn't
