"The Purple Lady," a high class
five-part comedy, in which Itulph
Herz, the well known comedian, is
starred, and Irene Hon Icy is featured,
will be shown here at Sherry's on Sun
day and Monday. "The Purple Jjidy,"
is t picturization of I he successful
play t.t the same name, by Sydney
JRoscnfcld, and promiajs to "ne one of
the best feature comJ dramas of
the reason.
"Thrown to the Lions"
.It is always thumbs down for sim
ple" virtue, today as in the days of
Nero. That is the analogy carefully
worked out in this five reel subject at
Sherry's today only. The short pro
logue and epilogue, in fact, date back
to the time of the crudest of emper
ors, picturing a Christian girl at the
mercy of the beasts, while the Roman
! populace looks on.
The scenario was adapted by Robert
Lusk from a story by Wallace Irwin,
whose vigorous fiction is well known
to magazine readers. Mary Fuller
does some of her best work in the
part of Linnie Carter. She is assisted
by a pleasing cast.
The production, barring the opening
and closiiijr scenes, is intensely mod
ern in tone.
There are some hlfrhlv dramatic
episodes in the latter part of tha ptd- J
duction; the mock marriage, shooting '
of Sullivan by the gunmen, and tho
lattcr's false accusation on his death i
bed are all well 'handled. Not so much '
from the standpoint of novelty, for al-1
most everything in this number has j
been done many times before, but be- j
cause it is a consistent and well-
rounded picture of metropolitan life !
of today, is this to be called a strong j
subject. The settings and photog-1
raphy are in keeping with the care !
shown in other details. :

Vias been a boon to artists and pro
ducers interested in the highest class
of dramatic endeavor. If the war
keeps up a year longer, he declares
that America will by that time have
developed a school of play-wrights
more than able to hold its own against
those of England and the European
continent.
"While the war is horrible and
probably the greatest calamity the
world has ever suffered, it is not
without it.s blessings," says Mr. Man
tell, who is at present in the West
Indies. "It has awakened us to the
need of preparedness, not only phy
sical preparedness in the matter of
men and arms, but preparedness' in
holding our own in the realm of the
drama.

this country on England, France and

Mishaps of a Fox Picture j
Fate did its best to keep the now

Virginia Pearson, from being shown
to the public. To begin with, Victor
Sutherland, who plays the male lead,
became ill just after the trip to Vir
ginia where many scenes were taken, i
and had to stay in bed for two weeks.
Tonsilitis was too much for him. i
Then the films which were taken in
Virginia got mixed in their routing
back to New York, and could not be
recovered until the picture was prac- .
tically completed. For a while it 1
looked as if the entire company would j
have to return, and take again the
scenes that had been filmed there. '
But at the last minute, the. express
comjiany found the reels, and re-j
turned them to the New York office. I
