ARC A DE SHERRY'S Viola Dana Lends Strength to a Pow. crful Screen Story. Viola Dana, in "The Gates of Eden," a fiverrcel Metro-Columbia production which will be the feature attraction at the Sherry theatre on Sunday, lends strength to a powerful screen story. Miss Dnna is seen in two roles, first as Evelyn, a scorned mother in a Shaker community, and "next as n-ve, Her daughter. The play is pe culiarly fitted to the Uilents of this young star, who is called upon in one part to depict the emotions of a heart-broken mother and in another the tender feelings of p. pure girl whose great love defies religious fanaticism and the rage of a revenge crazed father. 'The Gates or fcien, whicn is a story of life in a Shaker community whose members have taken vows of celibacy, was written by the Rev. William E. Danforth. The seven production was directed by John H. Collins. It was because of her distinct tal ents as an emotional actress that Miss Dana was chosen as the star for this great drama. She has been on the stage practically all her life and much of her early dramatic training was under Joseph Jefferson. Sherry's Today Only. One of the best stories that the English novelist, E.

Kennedy In Motography Put to the extremity of wearing fi'.lse beards and dodging practically every other person he meets on the streets because of a change for the better in his once distressful affairs of the heart and bank account, Doug li . Fairbanks as Augie, the love struck artist, puts :i quantity of vim and zest into a picture telling a story similar to many screen stories told before. But the main situation of the piny, that of the man who hires an assassin to put him out of the way tnly to change his mind and to live in horror until the danger passes, is the only thing which resembles in any way prsvious screen comedies. Robert M. Baker, who wrote the scenario, did a good thing when ho I i'e:l the idea if for no other reason ! than that Fairbanks was so well able to make it funny. "Flirting with Fate" i3 a thoroughly enjoyable picture. It is nearly all Douglas Fairbanks but when one considers that he is all actor pos sessing so much color and dash it is readily understood that this is noth ing against "Flirting with Fate." far from that; it is something in its favor. The hired assassin is one of the most 'eftly handled characters in the pic- lure. He appears ct just the right moment to make things interesting iiid amusing. It is doubtful if any .other photoplay over got so much real j-ood effect out of a straight comedy character. Augie first meets the ter rible man when he goes into a sal oon to get a quarter so he can turn on the gas and end nil his trouble. He enly meets Automatic Joe once again r.nd that is the end of the picture. l(ut in the meantime Augie's imagina tion leads him a merry dance. Family Film Coming.
