Norma TaImadge in Three Veins in
"Wonderful Thing"

1.-THE Wonderful Thing" is the
title of the latest production starring
Norma Talmadge, distributed by As
ISOLATED First National Pictures, Inc.
1t is announced as the attraction at
the Opera House beginning Friday.
Herbert Brenon and Clara Beranger
adapted the story from the stage play
of the same name, written by Lillian
Trimble Bradley and Forrest Halsey.
The production is in a considerably
lighter vein than anything which
Miss Talmad2e has done recently, but
it has an underlying strain Of love-
drama which gives Miss TalmadSe
opportunity for some bits of the
superb emotional acting that has
made her SO popular as a screen star.
AS Jacqueline BogGs. the only
daughter of the American Hog King,
finished product of French con-
vent she is irresistibly droll. AS Mrs.
Donald Mannerby she becomes dra
matte figure, and once again her
fathers daughter, she is tragic. One
advantage, however, which a drama
of love has over drama of life is
that a happy ending is possible, and
one comes in very satisfying man
ner in THE Wonderful Thing"
Herbert Brenon, who has directed
two of the later of Miss Talmadges
productions, acted in the same capa-
city with the Wonderful Thing in
addition to collaborating in the adap-
tation of the screen version. Chief
among the supporting cast is Mrs
Lydig Hoyt. young matron of high
social standing in New York, and
Newport, who has secured a position
in the Norma Talmadge company to
round out her training in amateur
theatricals before organizing pic
ture producing company of her own.

Talmadge, and others in the cast in

shipper asked for the inspection. AS
the result of the inspection, Mr..

Referring to these inspections, Mr.,

A Mans Flaming Answer to "The
Sheik" at Opera House Today

Coming today for two days only.
the management announces, George
Melford's production of Burning
Sands" a mans answer to the wo-
man who wrote the 'Sheik." Fea-
tured in the big east is Wanda Haw-
ley. Milton Sills and Jacqueline Lo
gan.
A desert story which treats the
native Arabs as human beings, and
which is stupendously appealing
and dramatic, is Burning Sands" a
George II. Melford production. This
Paramount picture has as its central
character Daniel Lane, a student
and philosopher who lives among
the Arabs and who, by his insight
and sympathy. learns to know them
as the ordinary man never does and
so finds in them much to admire.
Lane is splendid character, sympa-
thetically portrayed by Milton Stills.
The other featured part that of Mu-
riel, was allotted to Miss Hawley.
Muriel is the present day type of
pleasure loving, materialistic young
woman who refers to herself as
"emancipated," but who is really a
slave to her whims and desires.
Muriel. petted and spoiled, accus-
toned to admiration and t1attery from
every man meets Lane. and out of the
encounter of these contrasting char
acters grows the drama. Muriel is
fascinated by this man, SO different
from any in her circle Of courtiers.
AS time goes on, she finds him
too good to be true His apparent
Indifference to her, so unprecedented
in her experience, piques her inter-
est. She decides that he must PIE
fer the native women, and jumps to
the conclusion that he has a harem
in the desert. His enemies malic-
iously corroborate her theory. Mean
while, she is falling in love with him.
The story rises to it's climax as
Muriel, in love with Lane and baffied
