 William Farnum is the main at traction at F'oXs theater for the first half of the present week. William Farnum. one of Americas foremost actors appears in the screen version of Louis TracN's popular novel, Wings of the Morning." Farnum s magnetic personality. his capacity to make live a strong character either on the screen or the legitimate stage is q. matter Of no dispute as his dra- mauc versatility and powers of DOT trayai are granted by the severest of critics. The very fact of Willia m t'arnum taking a leading part in any production is d criterion of that pro duCtion. FaTnum has never appeared in a weak drama. nor will he. There are stars galore but how many of them have the power of selecting a play? We may see a great star in great role but a very poor story for thi$ very reason. They play in what ever story may be selected for them. Wings of the Morning" though set in an English atmosphere is a typical red -blooded American drama with all the live and pulling elements that are necessary for the entertainment of an American audience. It is the story of a youg English officer who has be come an outcast from his former as sociates because a man in higher
