motion pictures in the stellar roles,
Will bo the big fenturo attraction at
the Sherry theatre on Sunday and
Monday. This is a Metro wonder
play, in five gripping parts, and it

rection of Mr. Bushman. As a result,
admirers of Mr. Bushman are ufford
ed the rare opportunity of seeing this
star in a production that represent
his own ideus and ideils.
Mr. Bushman also made the screen
adaptation from a short story, so it
can really be called a Bushman fea
ture in every particular. The sup
porting cast is one of the best ever
assembled to appear with these two
well-known stars, and it includes
Helen Dunbar, Henry iBergman, ono
of the best dramatic actors of tho
stage or screen; William Davidson, a
nationul favorite; Edmund Elton,

minstrel; Belle Bruce, Mrs. La Roche,
Liza Miller and Charles rang, rang

cently styled, by New York critics
"the Chinese Charley Chaplin." Fang,
Blukemore and Liza Miller furnish
the comedy in the story, which forms
excellent relief tor the strong lira
matic situations.

FJLMS FOR THE FAMILY CROUP.
Much has been said nnd done re
garding better films that will please
all of the members of the family. A
number of towns have inaugurated
what is known as the family film
The following list of films was clip
ped from the January number of the
Woman's Home Companion. All of
these films marked with a star have
been or will be shown at the Arcade
Theater:
The Crisis
Selig, 10 reels: An especially fine
production following closely Winston
Churchill's novel of tho Civil War,
with Abraham Lincoln as the domi
nating character.
'Ia'ss Than The Dust
Artcraft, 7 reels: The first of Mary
Piokford's new productions, featuring
her in an entirely new and winsome
role.
Somewhere in France
Incc-Trianpjle, 5 reels: An excellent
picture based upon Richard Hardin?
Davis's novel. The secret side of wal
ls emphasized rather than the spec
tacular. American Arislocrncy
Fine Arts-Triangle, 5 reels: An
other fine Douglas Fairbanks picture,
clean, interesting and thoroughly en
joyable. Seventeen
Famous Players-Paramount, ,r
reels: A pood lnutrh at the expense of
love's young dream is in this pic
ture based on Booth Torkington's
story.
Witchcraft
I Iiskv-Parnmount. 5 reels: An
r unusually pood picture, cnrefully pro
' duced, based on the Salem witchcraft
tales.

"THE LITTLE SCHOOL MA'AM."
Dorothy Gish and Fine Art Children
in Triangle Picture.
(Reviewed by Thomas C. Kennedy.)
The trials and tribulations of the
"little old red school house" are set
forth in "The Little School Ma'am,
which was produced at the Fine Arts
studio under the direction of C. M.
and S. A. Franklin. It will be shown
at the Arcade Sunday.
Dorothy Gish is the school tcacner
and this little Nan who comes from
Virginia is much more interesting
than any of her persecutors, the nar
row small charactered people of the
Western town, and nil their harsh
treatment. Nan is a pretty, wistful
little girl and the charming pictures
composed by tne directors, wno al
ways choose the most delightful loca
tions and procure splendid photogra
ntiv. unite with the anneal of this
character to make "The Little School
Ma'am" a picture of considerable ap
peal.
As a pleasing, prominent feature of
this offering, the Firfe Arts children
are second to no other phase of "The
Little School Ma'am." These children
enact an amateur theatrical entertain
ment which is delightfully amusing.
They also are to the front in other
portions of the plav and the scenes
they appear in, while having little to
do with the play itself, add atmos
phere and they are good enough to
ii-;e above their real status, which is
padding. The Franklins and the Fine
Arts children are a rare combination
for filling out a slim story, though,
of course, in this respect most of the
credit must go to the l'rnnklins.
The story concerns itself with the
school teacher'3 unequal struggle to
keep her position at the school, whose
management is in the hands of preju
diced town officials. Nan is from
Virginia and for that reason she and
the visiting novelist, who is also from
Virginia, are drawn together by a,
common bond. She goes driving with
the young man one evening nnd an ac
cident causes them to remain out un
til daylight. This is grounds for her
discharge, but it turns out to be iu
calamity because the gentleman from
Virginia marries her.
Llmer Clifton, George Pierce, How
ard Gaye, Josephine Crowell nnd Mil
lard Webb are in the cast. She pho
tography is excellent and it reveals
backgrounds that for sheer beauty die
superlative, and these beautiful pic
tures give the offering distinct charm.
