Human Story Is "The Wmters"
Now Being Shown At Trianon

The simple, human story is again
proving itself the screen superior OF
the big, rambling plot with maze of
complications.
This time 1t is John M Stahls pro-
duction of "The Wanters' that brings
this fact forcibly home.
Presented by Louis B. Mayer
through First National, The Want
ers" is now at the Trianon.
With a great idea embodies in the
theme and wonderfully human treat
ment in its development, the produc-
ton stands out and above the aver
age film of today.
There is something different"
about this picture, and credit for the
refreshing newness and dramatic
strength of the situations is largely
due to the genius of Mr.. Stahl, the
director.
Without becoming a preacfiment,
the theme presents a strong lesson,
reflected through the experiences of a
girl of humble state who accepts a
position as maid In millionaire's
home in order to be near the beauti-
full things she has always craved. A
new world opens for her when the

lily, modern knight-errant in her es-
timation, falls in love with her and
proposes marriage. But the narrow
prejudices and selfish jealousies Of
the chronic "wanters" of the story
take an active part in her romance
and nearly succeed in running it be-
fore they are suddenly awakened to
their cruel injustice of their treat
ment of the girl.
A large, capable cast that truly de-
serves the appellation, "all-star," in
terprets the characters. Charming
Marie Provost adds greatly to her
past screen laurels as the central fig
ure of the absorbing plot. Other ia
vorites who distinguish themselves
in this film are Robert Ellis, Huntley
Gordon, Normal Shearer, Gertrude
Aston, little Richard Headrick, Lin
coin Stedman, Louise Fazenda, Hank

The scenario, by J. G. Hawks and
Faul Bern, was based on story by
the famous novelist, Leila Burton
Wells. Ernest G. Palmer was chief
photographer.
