That Is Secret of Cosmopoli-
tan Screen Production of
Winston Churchill's Fam
Gus Controversial Novel.
Three Big Men Responsible
For the Picture.

The presentation OF "The Inside OF
the Cup" the Cosmopolitan screen
production, at Loew's columbia The
alter, where IL began an engagement
yesterday, and it's immediate success
came as something OF a surprise to
Washington theatergoers.
There have been many other fea-
ture flms with stories that offered
iuridness and more thrilling mechan-
les than this simple and direct story
of human degradation, hypocrisy and
regenerating love. yet they went their
\ way without leaving much or an i'm
preston.
There have been pictures In which
knives flashed. guns were nred and
the souls OF the spectators were al
most torn from their mornings, yet
they did. not strike such responsive
chords. as has THE inside or the
Cup"
The fgures I'm other photoplays
have been inner dressed than are
these humble people In the Churchill
story which Albert Capellani has
made to live again on the screen, but
they never held the attention of the
spectators as do the figures in the
new production at Loew's Columbia.
SECRET OF ITS SUCCESS.
The secret lies in two things-the
sincerity with which the story was
written originally and presented
again on the screen, and the deep
humanity and wide social vision which
the tale reflects.
Not through ARTIFICIAL themes but
by way of an analysis of the life
which surrounds the spectator, does
THE Inside of the Cup" grip the
audience. Every man, woman and
child who attends the performance OF
The Inside of the Cup" feels as
though the lives of the characters are
linked with their own: they are real,
swayed by the passions which sway
all human beings and suffering the
stings that poverty brings with IT.
1t is a picture of the poor, of the
helpless ones. who through the in
iquity OF wealthy men, are driven to
despair and the depths. And, out Of
the depths, the unfortunates rise
again to confound those who. mask
ing themselves as honorable men.
hold high positions in society.
1.-The Inside of the Cup" Is not
picture evolved from the Imagination.
1t goes to life for its theme, 1t strikes
at the root of social weakness. 1t Is
not a story of individual travail SO
much as a mirror of the unhappiness
and also the hope OF large section
Of the community. In it's analysis 1t
involves the fabric of the social order,
laying bare the problems of social life
and offering solution to some of the
questions. It's sincerity. it's nobility
and its humility are the great at
fractions of the photoplay, finding a
ready response in its audiences for
the very reason that it reflects the
lives OF many people. Its sense of
mass, rather than a desire to picture
Individual conflict, is the thread
which holds the spectator tight.

Whenever you notice that the

take up the rugs, take down the

You are now ready to begin to

It would spoil the entire plot Of the

Third--Should a little child IN
