Louise Huff Coming. Girls of the sweetly sympathetic type are ideally suited to screen in terpretation by dainty little Louise Huff, who was recently seen on tho screen in the Famous Players produc tion "Destiny's Toy." Miss Huff is now being presented by the same com pany in "The Reward of Patience" in which she plays a Quaker girl under the direction of Robert G. Vignola. Miss Huff is the typical Quaker girl type and her beauty, appealing per sonality and really wonderful his tronie ability add greatly to the ef fectiveness of the production. A point of unusual interest in this production is the fact that Lottie Pick- ford, sister of the celebrated Mary, makes her re-appearance on the screen after a long rest. Miss Pick- ford plays the so-called "heavy" role of the society wife who deserts her husband and child and finally meets a well-deserved fate. Exceptional efforts were made to get just the proper settings for this picture, the atmosphere of the Quaker village in which the story opens be ing of the utmost importance in giv ing tho picture charm and especial in terest. Those who see "The Reward of Patience" at the Arcade where it is the attraction this week, will realize that the efforts were more than worth while. Particularly charming is the waterfall near which so much of the early part of the action transpires. Advance Man for New lckford Pic tures Here. Guy F.
