Gozvns to Shoqu in Her Picture

Beautiful gowns galore are a spe-
cial feature of The Price of Redemp-
tton," the new Bert Lytell picture
which will be seen at Loew's Palace
tomorrow. Although the picture Is
laid for the most part in India, many
scenes transpire in London. where the
creme de la creme Of English aris-
tocracy Is portrayed. 1t is in these
scenes that the opportunity for the
display OF fashionable attire is Of
fered and so amply taken advantage
Of by the producers.
One Of the gowns that Seena owen
wears in her role of the English So
ciety girl who marries Leigh Dering,
the young army officer, Is an evening
gown of cloth of gold designed by
Miss Alfredo Hoffman, who designs
the gowns for a number of prominent
stars of the screen. 1t Is unique
creation which should be Of particular
interest to women as one OF the most
distinctive and daring novelties of the
season.
The bodice, entirely Of imported
gold lace, Is made with the peasant
, sleeve, and square neck cut low
in front. The narrow foundation skirt
Of gold cloth has a hooped overskirt
of gold lace through which small

buckles. She carries a huge ostrich
feather fan Of the same shade.
Another elaborate gown in which
Miss owen appears is a quaint. old
fashioned brocade of shell-pink, cut
along the lines of Queen EliZabeth's
time with tight fitted bodice. full skirt
and court train. 1t Is worn on the
occasion of her presentation at the
King of England's court.
She is also posing in this costume
for a painting to be hung on the set
of her millionaire fathers home in
"TheNPrice of Redemption"
The bodice is-cut quite low with
frill Of duchess lace ornamented with
pearls. 1t Is sleeveless but the neck
frill falling over the upper arm re-
lieves the plainness and lends a soft
ening effect. A panel of pearls deco
rates the front OF the bodice and eX-
tends half the length of the full skirt.

Maurice Tourneur's great screen pro-
duction. "The Great Redeemer."
which is to be shown at Loew's Co
lumbia Theater tomorrow. tells a
story that is so absorbing and thrill
ing that persons who behold IL will
inevitably conclude that 1t is fiction
that 1t never could have happened
in real life.
Such Is, in fact, not the case. While
"The Great Redeemer" was written by
H. II. Van Loan, and Is in the main a
work Of the imagination. its central
theme is taken direct from life. 1t
embodies an incident that happened
in a prison at San Bernardino, Cal,
two years ago.
A Mexican was serving fifteen years
there for granddaughter. On the wall
of his cell he painted a picture of the
TCrucifixion. 1t was n painting whose
beauty attracted attention all over
the state.
As a direct result of the Influence
of this painting the Mexican was
granted a pardon by the governor of
the state and is now professional
artist, making a living in Los Ange-
les.
The painting Of the Crucifxion
photographed in the production Of
The Great Redeemer" Is a copy of
that on the wall of the Meyican's cell
in San Bernardino.
Priests who were interested in the
Tourneur production because Of it's
powerful appeal to the finest qualities
in it's beholders, saw the painting
and requested that IL be given to
them to be hung in their church.
This request Mr.. Tourneur gladly
granted and the painting is now on
view in the Roman Catholic Church
at Glendale. Cal.
Mr.. Van Loan, the author OF The
Great Redeemer," struck up an sc-
quaintance in Los Angeles with the
pardoned Mexican. and from him OBJ
tained tTfe story which he incorporat-
ed in his screen drama.
This he embellished with n strong
counterplot and some splendid love
interest, and the finished production
Is said to possess great strength and
uncommon interest. House Peters
and Marjorie Daw are the chief play
prets '"Thc Great Aedeemer.'
Mr.. Peters plays Dan Malloy two
gun bad man who Is regenorated.
Miss Daw is the Girl whose noble ex-
lmplo FIRST starts Dan on the right
path.

trammeled Fest serves as back.

her into a state of prostration from
which she fails to recover for
month.
A few moments sfter Hilda is
stricken Philip, jr.. revives and a con-
sultation determines that he will live
but hopelessly deformed.
In the midst of the consultation the
hunchback arrives from Canada
Suffering because his Hilda was taken
from him. he interprets the deformity
Of her child to an act of retribution.
In a terrible voice he cries. ''She
turned from me because 1 was q Grip
pie. Now she Is going to turn from
you and the baby because 1t Is a Grip
ple." Being q materislist, Philip for
gets there Is such q thing as mother
love. He takes the child away, where
he determines to devote his entire time
to curing It's deformity. On Hilda's
recovery and against the advice OF the
idealist, Peter, Hilda is informed the
babe has been buried.
This completely estranges husband
and wife. Hilda has apparently lost
all her love for Philip and willingly
turns to Livingston for the affection
which she believes her husband has
denied her.
She leaves her home with Living
ston, but her real womanhood asserts
, itself in time to save her from a de-
grading alliance with Livingston.
While she Is absent the philoso-
er-friend, Peter. determines to find
her and bring her back to see her
baby alive.
AS Hilda enters the room she Is
stunned at seeing her poor crippled
baby, but oyerjoyed to find IL has
not died as she believed. 1t IL plain
ly evident that the deformity of the
child has no effect upon the love of
the mother. She advances to grasp
the little tot in her arms, when the
miracle Is performed. The paralyzed
arms of the baby straighten out to-
ward her, and unaided the little one
slides from the chair. The withered
legs fail to support the body, but
enough Improvement Is evident to
show that cure has been effected.
At this point the husband enters and
is himself astonished at the miracle
wrought by mother love-a miracle
which all his boasted science had been
unable to accomplish.
The husband and wife are then re-
united more firmly than ever each
recognizing the unhappiness suffered
by the other.
The cast is 4 notable one. and in

PARIS IS BACKGROUND
FOR RIALTO'S PICTURE

Where there is light there are shad-
pws. The brighter and more intense
he light is the deeper and blacker
are the shadows. Paris. the Mecca OF
art students--the Babylon or the
pleasure seekers with it's evenings OF
wine. and mornings OF headaches,
forms an enhancing background FOR
one of the most dramatic situations
in "The Notorious Miss Lisle," star
ring Katherine Macdonald, which
opens a weeks engagement at Moore's
Rialto Theater beginning Sunday.
AS Gaenor Lisle, a beautiful girl
with haunting past, who is passing
through the French capital with her
husband on their honeymoon, Kath-
crime Macdonald employs a type of
dramatic talent that so ably portrays
the fact that she is a vivacious bride,
married but a short while, and yet
depressed by the overwhelming bur-
den OF a past that may at any mo-
ment be exhumed before her husband,
who knows nothing of the scandalous
affair.
Her fears were not without founda-
tion. Out of the human tide that
eddied into Paris from all quarters
OF the globe, her husband meets an
old colleague who tells him of his
wife's implication in an affair that
kept London agasp.
The course pursued by her hus-
band after he learns of his wife's
past history will sound a sympathic
chord from those who know and can
understand the dilemma of such a
man.
Thousands read and acclaimed this
story when the book by Mrs. Baille
Reynolds was published, and in the
transition from black and white to
the silver screen the entire tale has
been infinitely enhanced.
