In, order to aid the man Of her
choice, who is in. financial straits,
Marie Calender, portrayed by Miss
Talmadge, finds it necessary to marry
him. But she cannot put the propo-
sition up to him boldly, for she is
aware that he will not marry her
for money alone. So she conceives
the idea Of Disgusting herself as an
old woman. In this way she can
make him feel that it is purely. a mat
ter of convenience and that she is
willing to aid him because he at one
time rescued her from a fire, without
knowing who she was. = 2. -, ,.-s
n The young man, Ernest Lismore,
portrayed by Conway Tearle, goes
through with the bargain and then
the inevitable happens. He meets
Marie out Of her disguise and falls
in love with her, but he is too hon
torable to speak of divorce TO his pre-
sumably aged wife, although the lat
ter suggests it to him.
Thus entered Cupid, he mixes the

Mr.. Brinkman.@ Of the Rex theatre
The message was official noti fication
that his application for sub-franch-
Use in Associated First National Pic

Mr.. Brinkman, In making the an
nouncement, said that 1t will give
motion picture patrons Of this city an
opportunity to see productions better
than have ever been produced be

.sThe arrang ements under which
pictures will be- produced for Assoct-
ated First National" he said, ARE
ideal for gaining the .yergi best screen
attractions In the history OF the In
5dustry. As an example of what is
possible, Marshall Neilan, probably
the greatest director in motion pic
lures, has produced his greatest sue
cesses when he was working $fof< h1m-
self, that is, when there was no one
to hamper him by holding purse
strings, directing settings, etc. II

produced The Rivers End and
Don't Ever Marry He is but one
Of the top notchers In the film world
who have signed contracts to work

ISOLATION of independent theatres, OF
which am now member. 4s
Mr.. Brinkman explained that nm
der the arrangements the association
takes no part in the production Of the
pictures, that the directors and the
stars are equally independent in the
selection OF the stories they will Spor-
tray, the way they viii It, and, in
fact, are the sole Judges Of the entire
process up to the completed produc-
ton. They, are assured Of . reason

does not fall below q certain stand

upon the actual cost OF the production
plus enough to encourage them to
their best efforts. .,=,' = -

today exactly what date the sub

one of the most versatile of all fem

talents in this direction have never
been shown to such good advantage
as in her latest Select production,
>"She Loves and Lies" 7 VI @.r -
In this adaptation of Wilkie Col
Inns, story, of the same name, Miss
Talmadge portrays three separate and
distinct characters, each being OF q
different social caste, age and physic-
al appearance. Not only does the
star make her portrayals realistic
but she makes them convincing. IGaii
d twill be remembered that Wilkie
Collins has his principal character
SO disguise herself as to completely
make her own husband believe that
she is another person, something that
may be easily done on the printed
pages of fiction, but not so easy of &C
complishment in real life or on stage
or screen. How Miss Talmadge "gets
away with it" Is but one of the many
unusual things. in "She Loves and
