This rugged drama was photographed amid the grandeurs of Arizona's Grand Canyon one of the world's wonder-spots, and to bring these scenes before the eyes of local picture "fans" is an achievement of which Bluebird has reason to be proud. This is the first time any producing corporation has displayed the enterprise and accepted the enormous expense of sending a numerous company of photoplayers to j Arizona's Grand Canyon. Work can be I accompnsnea mere oniy unuer corvum rare conditions, for the sun cannot al ways penetroto to the depths of the chasm, the walls of the gorge are not always free from mists and clouds, and it requires time and patience to await proper conditions for acting and photographing the scenes. If some ono would build a pavement , in front of your house without charge would you turn him down? Marguerite Clark, who was last seen on the screen of the Arcado thea tre in the Famous Players adaptation of "Snow White," will appear at the same theatre in the Famous Players adaptation of Molly Elliot Seawell's "The Fortunes of Fifi," her next Par amount Picture to day and tomorrow. In "Snow White" Miss Clark played the role of the delightful little pnn cess whose faith in her feathered friends brought her safely through many perils. "Fifi," though equally charming, is quite another character, She is a little minx of a French ac tress whoso colossal . conceit makes her believe that she is a great actress despite the failure of the first com pany with which she becomes con nected. Nothing daunted by this catastro phe. Fifi goes to Paris where she In comes at once the joy and despair of Cartouche, a kindly veteran of the Napoleonic wars, who takes the little chit of a girl under his protecting wing. Cartouche, prevented from an swering the call to arms iby his old wounds, has turned actor and is en gaged by the Imperial theatre at the Street of the Block Cat.

She is a clever little actress and her winning personality, despite her piquant conceit, makes her very popular. Cartouche, her self-appointed guardian, purchases a govern ment lottery tocket which he insists upon presenting to Fifi. The ticket is declared the winning number and Fifi suddenly comes into possession of a fortune. Thereupon Cartouche decides thnt she must be educated and made a "lady," much to her disgust, for the littel girl has sincere dramatic as pirations and is in love with Car touche despite the veteran's efforts to assume a very stern and fatherly at titudo toward her. Little Fifi is bundled protcstingly off to the home of Louis Bourcet, a model young man whose mother is en trusted with the instilling into her heart of the principles of culture. The comic and near-tragic results of this efforts to deflect her from her chos band upon the incorrigible Fifi beg- 1 gnr description. The revolt which is instituted by Fifi ranks high in the annals of personal revolutions, both in picturesqueness and efficiency. Needless to say, Fifi circumvents all efforts to deflect here from her chos en path. "The Fortunes of Fifi," which was directed by Robert G.
