persuades her to run away with him,
promising her a musical career. Next
to her love for Billee, this has been
the greatest desire of her life, and be-
cause of his mesmeric power over the
girl, he is able to carry out his prom

After a fruitless search sfor Trilby,

that Svengali will be able to give them

the singer the object Of their search.
but knowing that their Trilby was
tone deaf, they are at loss to know
what to do.
Suddenly Svengali, who has been
directing the performance, is seized
with a heart attack and dies, leav-
ing Trilby without his mesmeric aid,
and her voice suddenly changes to
the harsh, discordant notes with
which the three friends are familiar,
and they rush to her. She remembers
nothing of her musical triumphs, and
they bear her of with them Billee
is ecstatic at having found his sweet
heart and they begin plans for their

friends to mourn her.

Third Week of Griffith
Feature at RiaIt0

Three Little Maids From School,"
eighteen, nineteen and twenty, are the
heroines Of THE Birth of a Nation"
because their eyes registere on that
elusive strip Of celluloid known as
film. Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish and
Miriam Cooper are the Three Little
Maids 1t was D. w. Griffith who
discovered this talented trio. He first
gave them a searching eye exan1ina-
ton, as carefully as an optieian
might do. After he had assured him
self that their eyes would register
he took up, for him, the easy task of
teaching them to act That part was
more easy, for after all he did not
want them to act but to be natural.
The important thing, is that they
got their big chance because their
eyes registered. Why it is that some
peoples eyes take" better than 9TH
ers can not be explained. It is an
elusive thing that the cinema camera
requires of its subjects. Poets might
rhapsodize over the most beautiful
eyes in the world and yet those very
eyes might not register on the screen.
Many a prominent stage star has
been failure in pictures for thiA
very reason. The camera is nerd
less. 1t has no respect for histrionic
regulations. 1t has been said that
for an actress to acquire the technique
to play Juliet she must be so old that
1t Is difficult for her to look the part.
