"Pee O. My Heart" Scores; Laurette
Taylor Wins

A local event of considerable i'm
portance in the photoplay world took
place yesterday at the Johnson Opera
House with the first presentation in
this city of Laurette Taylor in a
screen version of her most famous
role, the title part of Peg o My
Heart" The brilliant star Of the
stage was seen b. many for the first
time as Peg" and to these especial
~ the occasion was a memorable one.
In it's celluloid form the celebrated
play by J.. Hartley Manners is des-'
tined to win new greatness; and the
charming star an even greater re-
newH.
Miss Taylor's "Pes" is a decided
contribution to screen artistry. 1t is
an effective reply to those who con-
tinually clamor whats wrong with
the movie y" The next time picture
fans hear that complaint, send the
knocker to see Laurette Taylor in
peg O. My Heart" If he doesn't
come away singing the praises of all
concerned in the making of this de-
lightful story, and of the photopiay
as an art, he is either blind or a
moron.
Once again "Peg" lives on the
screen. Once again hundreds OF
thousands will thrill to the woes of
little Peg. and once again will they
rejoice with her in her happiness.
For Peg is back again, and she is
destined to stay a long whilc.-Adv.
