LOUISE GLAUM IN NEW PLAY
"GREATER THAN LOVE-

c. Gardner Sullivan. rated as one
OF the most original and greatest
writer's for the screen. has provided
Louise Glaum with a striking vehicle
called Greater Than Love" This pic
ture Is 10 be at the Arcadia beginning
Monday of next week. The outstand-
ing feature of Greater Than Love" is
its message. Like q beacon-light shin
ing into and exposing the recesses of
sham. deceit and evil, the faith of the
mother in the play transcends all
loves-the love of self, the love of
dross and the love of love. For the
miracle" that regenerates in Greater
Than Love" is faith. the faith of a
simple, wise old lady who has expert
enced and emerged from the travail of
creed is belief in the inherent and en-
during goodness of all.
In this uplifting symphony in which
the spiritual note is convincingly tri-
umphant Louise Glaum appears as the
unregenerate. the unbeliever whose
heedlessness and selfishness disappear
before a great love, which, in turn
gives way to the Greater Than Love"
element of the picture personified by
frial Gertrude Claire the mother
Mahion Hamilton plays the leading
male role and lends sympathetic sup
port 10 Miss Glaum's brilliant per-
formance.
Donald Macdonald. Betty Francisco
Stanhope Wheatcroft, Rose Cade and
many others are in the company. The
atmosphere of Broadway figures very
prominently in the early part of the
story. Mirth and tragedy of ths
bright-lights existence are both clear,
iy expounded by the story in Greater
Than Love" which is by far the bes
vehicle that Miss Glaum has had I,
date.

LOCAL EDUCATORS

School Executives and Teach
ers Guests of the Aldine The
atre Management.

David A. Ward, superintendent of
public schools: Ellwood Souder, presi-
dent of the Board OF Education, and
practically all of the teachers I'm the
public schools of the city were guests
OF Miss Lois Weber prominent author
and motion picture director. at a pri-
vate showing OF her picture, "rhe
Blot" at the Aldine Theatre today.
The picture was written by Miss Web
er, who is an active worker In women's
clubs, in an effort 20 acduaint the pub
lie with the matter OF what she be-
lieves unfair salaries paid teachers I'm
the United States.
The picture clearly proves that in
the majority of cases work that tends
toward the uplift of the individual is
less remunerative than that which
supplies its material needs. The story
centers on the contrasting lives OF
four individuals--those Of poorly
paid professor in a modern college: a
minister, whose salnry allows him only
the bare necessities of life; a shoe
maker. whose large salary supplies
him with all Of the comforts Of life,
and an easy-going, rich college stu
dent.
The family Of Prof. Griggs. who
views his work as instructor as a vo-
cation rather than wage earning po-
sition. consisting OF his wife. and
daughter. are undernourished and poor
| ly clad owing to his small salary. In
strong contrast is the family Of Hans
Olsen. the shoemaker. whose income
provides his family with almost every
thing Il needs. Humorous incidents
and a romance centerinx around Amelia
Griggs. the professors daurhte~. Peter
Olsen, son of the shoemaker, the minis
ter and Phslips West. the college stu
dent. are woven into the picture.
After many hardships and difficult.
ties, all OF which arise from the poor
salary Of the professor. Amelia Grigg:
and Philip West become engaged. Tn,
matter of the professors salary is ad
justed through Mr.. West. whose father
is a college trustee. The picture con
tains many beautiful scenes and q
very interesting.
At the close of the picture Superin
tendent Ward, Mr.. Souder and tn,
teachers were photographed by the Al
dine management, and a picture o
the group will be later sent to Mis-
Weber. The management OF the Adm
Theatre have the exclusive use o
