"AN EVEN BREAK"
STARS OLIVE THOMAS.
With a company of more than 600
people and settings that are said to
surpass in magnificence any yet
brought to the screen, Olive Thomas,
the noted "Follies" beauty and Har
rison Fisher girl, will appear in the
Triangle play "An Even Break," at
the Arcade Theatre, Sunday only.
Through scenes of riotous splendor
the vivacious etar trips her way in
CoatumeB that only a "Follies" beauty
can wear. She also dances in' that
spontaneous, individual manner that
made her the favorite of Broadway
during the past three seasons.
The story runs parallel with Miss
Thomas' own career. It concerns a
girl in a email town who goes to New
York and travels the footlight trail to
fame. Although this is) "silent" dra
ma, it photographs so effectively the
choruses, dancers and big jazz bands
of a pretentions Broadway cafe that it
might be called a gigantic musical
comedy on raiovass.
Charles Gunn, Margaret Thompson,
Darrel Fobs, Charlesi K. Freramh, J.
Frank Burke and Louis Durham sup
port Miss Thomas. The play was
written and diiected by Lambort Hill-
yer.

"The Iron Heart"
A fast action story of etpiltal and labor
and she has chosen the Divine Sarah
as her ideal, and her modn. She was
taken to see Bernhardt's great Blue
bird picture, "Jeanne JJore," and
' thougn she cried herseli almost sick
;Over lhe sad story, she dinred that
she had never had such a good time In
her life.
Zoe loves an emotional part and the
I zest with whirh she entered into the
! anene in "The Little Pirate," in which
tne two cnnarsn, aione at nigm on an
island, are frightened by the howling
of a stray dog, caused her d. rector,
Elsie Jane Wiifon, to prolong the lit
tle scere more than the scenario wric
er originally intended.
"Zoo registered such an extrav.t.
gance of terror," said Miss Wilson,
"thnt I let the scene run quite a bit
longer. I nevr saw such a child. A
single word is enough for her, and
she is more rsponsive than any adur.
I have ever known. One may play
upon her emotions at will, and she is
never cross, or out of sorts, as most
screen children are at some time or
other. Yet off the screen s5ie is just
a natural, jolly baby, and loves play
ing with her dolls and puppies. She is
just filled with talent and I am sure
that her future is a very great one."
