THEATRES
aInsIdc the CIupy AT Crescent.

AA@ANa ~ ,hot
Every reader of current literature
will recall the sensation caused
by the publication several years ago
OF Winston Churchilrs powerful
novel, The Inside Of the Cup" The
story attacked the illegal hypocrisy
of certain clergymen and men of
wealth identified with churches as
Va strymen. The philosophy of the
book was criticised by churchmen
in this country and in England as
an unwarranted attack upon reii-
gion and the cloth.
The picture rights having been
obtained by Cosmopolitan at great
expense, the story was picturized
by Albert Capellani. a famous di-
rector and the film version will be
shown at the Crescent theatre all
this week. The essential features
of the story. which is one great
dramatic force. have been retained
while the antihypocrisy philosophy
Of the author necessarily has been
subordinated to the general theme.
The story deals with the Rector
of a fashionable church who turns
upon his wealthy Pensioners when
he discovers them parading under a
mask of hypocrisy and invites the
common people to attend his
church. Eldon Parr. a vestryman,
INSCRIPTIONS and tyrannical. alien
ates his son and daughter and is
finally killed by a man who he has
ruined. There is a pretty love ro-
nance between the Rector and
PARIS daughter which ends happily.
The leading roles are played by Will
liam p. Carleton and Edith Hallor.

Another reason for the great in

that IL is Miss Pickford's frs. APP
in an emotional drama fni-
lowing her announced policy TO at
tempt new things snd creating, new
paths in ~photoplay stories. L. will
be recalled that some time ago Miss
Pickford announced that not only
for her W artistic advancement,
but for the advancement of the en-
tire motion picture industry, she
would endeavor 20 get away from
the conventional hackneyed stories

emotional drama. il is said that this
gripping story by Frances Marion is
interspersed with a number of excel
