INVESTIGATE NOW FARM LQANS AND INSURANCE -r Ho is effective in his scenes with Miss Burke, when he appears as the scapegrace son of her uncle. Truly Shattuck, of comic opera fame, plays the part of the chaperon to the motherless heiress. Thelma Saker, child actress, deserves men tion for a "bit" that she does .well. William H. Thompson is indeed a dour old Highlander; the "mcenis- ter,' William Desmond, looks down upon as braw a congregation of Scots as could be found in the highlands. Then there are the lawyer, the weaver, the village drunkard and his wife, all the folk who take part in the simple little story each as true a Sect as art can proouce. The Fairy Story and Dr. Goat Do you believe in fairies? Peter Pan has been asking that question for years, and thousands of children have answered in the affirmative. Thomas H. Ince must be a grown-up who be lieves in fairies, if one mav judge from the scenes in "Peggy," which show a fairy story that Billie Burke tells the Scotch children in the play. There was once a fairy prince, so runs the talc) that is pictured on the j screen, who as turned into a bug.fby an ugly oldwitch. Among lu' new associates yie prince is rp?bgnizcd, I and becaus of his royal Wood is made King oi uieir crawiyjeolony. Jt is there that Miss Burke, who appears as the nfincess h4he picturization of her oi fairjyfale, finds him. His thron is annormous toadstool and he lAeivcjTher with elaborate cere-mony-Siit she is not satisfied. She warns her fairy prince back, because she loves him. The bugs tell her of a wonderful Dr. Goat, known to be the possessor of a magic potion. x'.ager to try any prescription that jinay restore her sweetheart to her, she trips over the rocks to the grotto j in which Dr. Goat has his office. The goat physician gravely listens to her appeal. Carried away by iier neamy and enthusiasm he compounds a remedy, and with light heart she thaiiKS him and speedr. back to the toadstool throne. She administers a dose. As the wonderful medicine gur glec, down the throat of the king-bug, theie is a puff of smoke, and her prince is restored to hft When the ugly old -itch learns that the h.-.ted prince is fit longer a bug, sue swells up Rvith Miger until she cannoUget through Whe door of her hut, iCnd Mies! from tarvation. The piinrc nd..pincess say good-live to I jtMe bujfsVaniTgo away to live happily J efer r.fter. J I fill this is set forth for the delight of I I the children who see "Peggy" in a mosl unusual and charming series of j pictures. After they have seen the , prince and the pH-icss. the bugs, the goDuns and kind old Dr. Goat, they must surely believe more than ever in fairies arid fairyland.
