ADJUSTMENTS
DOROTHY GISH
OUTDOES HERSELF
IN NEW PICTURE

1t Is some stunt for girl to try to
wake up whole town that would
rather sleep. That is what vivacious
Dorothy Gish tries to do in her lat
est Paramount-Artcraft picture
Mary Ellen Comes to Town."
AS Mary Ellen she was chauffeur
of country soda fountain. The
life didn't promise much for her and
she became tired of seeing the train
whiz by carrying people to a place
where she wanted to go. So Mary
Ellen packed her grip and boarded
the cars for New York and the Great
White Way. OF course she found
that Gotham was very much awake,
too much awake for her own fancy,
and she was really glad of the
chance to get home. But what hap
pened to her, the romance Of which
she was the center, and the esca-
pades in which she figured combine to
make Mary Ellen Comes to Town"
one of the most delightful Gish pic
lures ever presented.
There isn't anybody quite like Miss
Dorothy anyway. She has been
playing leads" but comparative
ly shokt time anyway. Her first real
part came in d. w. Griffith's Hearts
of the World" and so successful was
she in the comedy she enacted, that
she actually stopped the show and
became, famous over night. Since
then, there has been nothing to it..
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1920-04-17

There isn't a movie fan who doesn't
know her and like her and the so
briquet of the funniest girl on the
screen has been bestowed on her
AS Mary Ellen. she has more to do
and does it better than she has in
any other production. 1t is one of
those pictures where every member
of the family will want to give up all
other engagements to see.
The second episode of 1.-THE Lost
City" is also on the Colonial program
today. Those who saw the first cpl
sode last week-and over 1000 people
did see twill want to be on hand
and discover how the princess es
capes from the lions den. The res
cue is like nothing else that has ever
been filmed but even the thrills in
this picture are not to be compared
with some of those to follow. Juani-
ia Hansen. George Chesboro, Frank
Clark and Hector Dion play the prin-
cipal roles. The wild animals shown
offer the most remarkable stage pic
lures ever presented.
'Model Husbands" is the title of
a delicious two-reel comedy that will
also be given while the Pathe Re-
view will prove of unusual interest.

war picture-in the strict sense Of
the word; it does not depict the har-
rowing details of the battlefield and
the incidental suffering which such
perturbation generally include-but
it does present an inspiring and
wholly realistic recital of that por-
ton of American history with which
the average American of today is all
too little familiar. interviewer with
the grim facts of history Is the
charming and altogether wholesome
story of the Cavels of Virginia. True
there are battle scenes-several of
the important battles of the Civil
War have been reproduced for the
camera with vivid and startling real
ism-but 1.-The Crisis" in picture
form confines itself more to the ac-
tual events which led up to the
struggle of 1861-65 and Of the heart
rending incidents which marked that
bitter strife, with particular atten-
ton to the life story of Colonel
Comyn Carvel and Judge Silas
Whipple.
No picture produced in a decade
serves to better illustrate the 1eei-
ings which ran riot during the South
in the ante bellum days, with the
North on the one hand loud in its
protestations against slavery, and on
the other hand the South, firm in it's
determination and conviction on the
much mooted question. II for no
other reason, the fact that THE
Crisis" serves to present character
ization of the lovable Abraham Lin
coin, should mark for it's success.
To depict the character and the
mannerisms of the martyred Presi-
dent before the camera required no
small degree of courage. but in The
Crisis" Lincoln virtually has been
made to live again. One can almost
picture the Emancipation in the flesh
from the manner in which he is pre-
scented in this protodrama. To the
late Sam D. Drane is due unstinted
praise for the bigness and human
ness of the character.-AdV.
