Miss Frederick is conceded one of

not infrequently tinged with a mys-

the most striking quality of her APP

At the Isis.

When Director Harley Knowles
came to reproduce the stock exchange
scenes in the perturbation of David
Graham Phillips novel, The Cost"
he ran into difficulties. Desiring alb
solute realism, he went to the ex
change in New York with the idea of
securing sketches, from which sets"
might be erected in the studio He
was surprised to learn that during the
war no visitors had been admitted to
bomb plots and that the prohibition
had never been revoked. Refusing to
be stupped he looked up a friend, a
reporter on a financial newspaper who
had access to the floor on that ac-
count, and from him secured a minute
description of the exchange. This
served as q model for the background
against which the thrilling panic
scenes in THE Cost take place. The
picture will be shown at the Isis thea
ter Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Violet Heming has the leading role,
and it is a Paramount Aircraft pro-
duction.
Miss Heming came to America and
started her stage career as ''Wendy" in
Peter Pan" She created the role of
"Rebecca" in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm" and played the leads in the
New York successes. In 1.-The Cost
she has a role of unusual appeal and
dramatic force. She will continue to
appear in pictures under the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation banner.
Pathe News will be shown as usual.

0Down on the Farm. ;,

The United Artists Corporation have
released Mack Sennett's newest COM
edy creation Down on the Farm" a
five part production regarding which,
it was stated, there has been no end of
favorable comment since it has been
issued.
Louise Fazenda in the role of the
country girl of beauty and awkward
grace" is in the best charac terization
she has probably ever offered. Marie
Provost of the Sennett forces plays the
role of the faithful wife of a poor viii
lager, the victim of the towns Shy
lock and bill for back rent. Little
John Henry, Jr., the star baby of film
land is seen in episodes ranging from
cute to tragic and his faithful and gal
liant friend, Teddy. the Sennett dog
star participates nobly in scenes of
hazard and thrills. Likewise Pepper,
the feline actress. is seen and the en-
tire menagerie of feathered and four
edy.r Other parts are taken by Bert
Roach, Harry GribbOn, Ben Turpin,
James Finlayson and Billy Armstrong.
Down on the Farm" is an excep-
tionat feature and has been a sensation
/ in every community in which it has
played. The plot is varied, sometim es
full of laughter and mirth and at
I other times the thrills stop the mirth
