The picture version of the story
was produced by George Loane
Tucker, whose great success, "Traffic
in Souls," has not yet been forgotten.
The company has been excellently
chosen, and the complicated tory so
clearly presented that the director's
intention is never for an instant, obscured.

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.

Douglas Fairbanks Stars Again In
'Triangle-Fine Arts Comedy. Reviewed
By Thomas C. 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.
