"old Dad" the film version Of the
story OF the same name by Eleanor
Hallowell Abbott, in which Mildred
Harris, Chaplin enacts the prInci-
pal role, yesterday inaugursted the
week at Crandalfs Metropolitan
Theater.
Wholesome humor and romance
in the play offers photoplay enter

The story depicted in the picture
is one of youth, visualizing upon
the screen the problems. the inno-
| cent escapades. that were magnified
out OF all proportion to their ac-
tuaI importance-and the eventual
triumphs of impulsive young girl
| hood.
The early scenes of the romance
are laid in a fashionable boarding
school for girls, where Daphne
Breton succeeds in monopolixing
the stern lady principals gift OF
| vitrioIic reprimand. For no good
reason whatever. except that ap-
pearances seemed to be against her,
Daphne finally is expelled from
school and sent home to a father
| whose life has been crushed by
the rashness of his wife and who
as a result is not at all acquainted
with his motherless daughter.
Through the agency Of a series
Of situations that are by turns
amusing, whimsical, pathetic and
dramatic. Daphne restores happiness
to her "old dad" wins back the
affection of her mother for them
both and escapes the Vaccinations
of a millionaire roue who is almost
successful! in his plan to thwart the
true love OF her life.

of Daphne, offers a portrayal that
will probably enhance her appea
