Productions IL IS a certainty that the
finest players obtainabie will inter-

stage investiture will be all that the
most discriminating artistic taste
could demand.
Thus 1t is with "The wild Goose. "
in which Mr.. Capellani and an all
star cast worked together. The re-
suit is an all-around performance of
: the finest quality.
The principal roles are in the
hands OF Mary MacLaren and Hol-
mes r. Herbert. Miss MacLaren
Is by no means new to the screen.
Her frequent and splendid appear

placed her in high standing with

Is an actor OF fine ability who has
played the william as often as the
hero. He has the hero role In "The
Wild Goose" Norman Kerry is the
third important player.
"The Wild Goose" gets Its story
from Gouverneur Morris novel OF
the same name. II is based on the
legend that the wild goose never
deserts its mate and around this
story is woven a tale Of the Ameri-
can home.
The development Of the story is
