Winter Hall, George Fisher, as the

Beautiful Katherine MacDonald's s
latest production, THE Notorious
Miss Lisle.T as presented at Moore's
Rialto Theater, will undoubtedly
prove more popular than any picture
in which the famous American
Beauty has as yet been seen.
Adapted from the novel of the
same name by Mrs. Baillie Reynolds,
the photoplay provides Miss Mac
Donald with vehicle suited to her
talents. The story concerns Gaener
Lisle, prominent in English society.
and more prominent in the light OF
certain divorce scandal. Her
father takes Gaener to quaint Brit
tany to avoid the notoriety that his
daughter has incurred. In Brittany
she meets Peter Garsten, a tourist
Garsten falls in love with her and
to cloak their family name, marries
him Later her past crops up and
she runs away to London. Through
a series of fortunate incidents she
manages to clear her name and is
reunited to her husband.
Miss MacDonald's work as the
heroine is appealing.
The production is most artistic
the stage effects being ornate and
ultra modern throughout. The beau.

a feature.
