chantment at the TrianOn theatre this

Richard Barthelmess, supported by
May McAyoy and fine cast of artists,
is going to do the enchanting, in The

picture. ~
1t is chafming romance and pre-
sents Barthelmess in one of the most
striking ehatacterizations of his, ca
reer. In a large part Of the picture
Dick is to be seen as a physical wreck
of the war, gaupt and 'limping, while
Miss McAvoy also masks her beauty
behind a makeup that makes her a
homely heroine for the star. In a part
of the film, however, these two favor.
ties appear as their own good looking
natural selves minus character makeup.
The eternal theme that in the eyes
of love all things are beautiful is the
Underlying thought that, coupled with.
the magnificent characterization of the
players, makes The Enchanted Cot

moving dramas of decade. :
Important in the cast are such we'll
known artists as Marion Coakley, Flor

Joy, honor, radiance nobility, sympa-
thy, heaven, love, divine, hope, har-
mOny, happiness, purity, liberty.
Three words were rejected: "Grace,"
"justlce" and truth" The two for
mer were eliminated, it was ex-
planned, because of the harshness of

eliminated because Of its metallic
sound. Why the words mother. and
