be seen in the development of the
theme and in the rare and touch
ing emotions which have been
brought out under the direction OF
John Stahl.
= Mildred Harris has the leading
feminine role. and she is seen ID
new light The story concerns
four people whose counterpart may
be found In any gathering OF rep
resentatiye human beings-the ma
terfalistic husband, the love-craV-
Ing wife, the philosophic friend,
and the child. Ramsey wallace ap-
pears opposite Miss Harris as the
too busy husband, an eminent pny-
stefan. Engrossed in his work OF
fighting a terrible epidemic among
children, he Is unaware that his
own baby boy has been stricken
by the malady until another doc
tor Is called. He fails to effect a
cure and the child is faced with
the prospect of going through life
a hopeless cripple. But when
science fails mother love triumphs
and straightens out the twisted
limbs and restores vigor TO the
wasted little body The acting of
little Richard Hedrfck as the
stricken infant is a revelation. and
recalls the marvellous work of the
crippled characters in THE Mir
acle Man. The other players who
have helped to make The Woman
in His House" a classic of the
screen are Thomas Holding, George
Fisher, Gareth Hughes, Winter
Hall, Catherine Van Buren, and
Bob Walker. Irene Reels is the
author of this powerful screen
story.

At the Fort Armstrong.

Rarely has a motion picture pro-
duction, foreign or domestic, Great
ed so great an interest in advance
of its presentation as 1.-THE Cabinet
of DR.. Caligari," which Genes 10
the Fort Armstrong theatre, begin
ming today.
The unusual character of the
production has a decisive bearing
on three distinct fields; that of mo-
ton picture production, modern art
and modern music.
Using as its theme the story Of
a DR.. Caiigari, who Travelled among
the villages of Italy with a SOM
Eambulist over whom he had a sin
lister control, the intense atmos-
phere and sustained interest has
been carried through the pToduc-
ton in a manner eQualed only
in fiction and drama-and rarely
through those mediums.
Surprising as it may seem, the
film which caused a sensation in
Europe is not unlike American films
in the technique of its continuity.
II is in the use of the impression
istic settings to interpret and in
tensify the mood and action that
the radical departure is made.

cipaIs is accomplished with mas
terful technique The sinister Dr.
