Did you have an opportunity to
sec A. f. W. Mason's famous play,
"The Witness for the Defense" on
the legitimate stage? Even if you
were not SO fortunate you doubtless
know what fine play it was, from
the attention critics bestowed upon
it. Elsie Ferguson, one of the lead
ing lunimaries of the scren, has just
completed q Paramount-Artcraft film
version OF it and for production, pho
graphy and artistry it stands unsur-
passed. In the story Miss Ferguson
has the role of young woman who
sacrifices her love to aid her invalid
father and who leads a stormy, mis-
cradle life until a tregedy Of which
she is the central figure insures her
release and ultimately brings her
happiness. The scenes were taken at
Miami, Fla, and Miss Ferguson's
wardrobe for this picture alone cost
$4,000. Three of the strongest lead
ing men in motion pictures play sup
port, Wyndham Standing, Warner
GLAND and Vernon Steele, comprise
the trio making the cast most excel
lent throughout, and exceptionally
strong. Taken altogether, "The Wit
ness for the Defense" is photoplay
of exceptional merit, splendid mo-
rale and charming altogether. At the
Please U today and tomorrow.
