It has been said that a definition
 of a screen masterpiece Is "a great
 truth told simply" Perhaps the full
 willing of this definition is why D.
 D. Griffith's production, Dream
 Street" is in the class of screen mas terpieces. It is founded on great truth, and is told In way so sim
 pie that 1t can be understood by the
 merest child.
 Taking the characters from a sec tion of the underworld of London, under sense of poverty and it's W. Griffith's production. Dream Street" has written a photodrama of simple and feeling people who live
 and feel very near the earth, yet per
 chance have their dreams and occa- sional glimpses of the stars that
 shine over more blessed sections. It is story of a young man of this section, strutter, full of con
 ceit and exultant youth, who Is att
 tracted by girl called Gypsy. Gypsy is the daughter of a despised stool pigeon" So Gypsy does not command the highest love for "Sjike," who chides his brother for saving for the daughter of stool pigeon" Never l theless, Spike himself continues to pursue the girls favor and his per secutions put the girl in most pa thetic light to the audience.

1.-THE SIGN ON THE DOOR,"
 NORMA TALMADGE-TRIA

The pitfalls and compromising sit nations that beset the lives of unso- phisticated girls and women in their social lives in the city make up the real backbone and reason for the telling of The Sign on the Door, with Norma Talmadge at the Trianon.
 In "The Sign on the Door" the wife of an older but attractive hus- band finds herself in a very com promising position as a result of try ing to save his daughter from the wiles of the same home wrecker" who had brought her to near disgrace few years before. That makes the main big situation and the unwind ing of this state of affairs between the couple makes the story.
 Norma Talmadge is always good in roles of an emotional nature. She has a very emotional role in this and In general a more than usually ex- citing story. Contrary to the rule, she does not make her main appeal in the love scenes, though they are good, but Is her best in the excit- ing moments. particularly when she is being questioned about tragic affair in which she has become in- yolved.
 Charles Richman is the husband and Lew Cody is the man whose wiles with women cause near tragedy in other lives.

audience with special program of
sacred songs. The anthems were
beautiful and we'll rendered, but es-

In connection with the service,

talk on the "Songs of the Night"
which appealed in its message, even
to the most unmusical, as an anthem
OF rest, comfort and cheer.
