LirnehOuse Tale.

When .'Limehouse Nights z first
reached the public in book form.
this collection OF intensely dra-
matte tales by Thomas Burke swept
the reading world like wildfire.
The wide sale Of the book natur-
ally brought 1t to the attention Of
the film and dramatic world for
stage and photoplay material.
Many directors commended that
the stories were either too gruc.
some or tragic for pictures, but
one morning out of a clear sky.
Shirley Mason, the petite star. sug.
gested that "Curlytop, = the photo.
play attraction at the Strand
Theater for the week beginning
tomorrow be produced and that
she wanted the title role.
In preparing the story for the
screen 1t was a delicate task for
the Fox adapters to preserve the
dramatic appeal without making
1t ugly and subject to censorship.
In q large measure this Wtas
overcome by the appealing cAarac
terization given to the part Of
"Curlytop" by Shirley Mason.
From her first reading Of the story
the role Intrigued her and as i
result she gives to the screen one
Of the finest interpretations OF
her brilliant career.
