MTTI.H SUSS OI'TI.MIST'
(Reviewed by George W. Graves
Motogrnphy.)
The author of "Llttlo Miss Optim
ist, Gardner Hunting, has provided
Vivian Martin with a "story which
contains a dash '01' two of tense mel
odramatic coloring, yet one which is
:not Without: the litiniaa Interest: and;;
wholesomeness that wo have been
educated to expect in tho Vivian Mar
tin pictures. A story that has hum
or, human Interest, suspense ant! ex
citing dramatic action, and above all
carries conviction, is sure to hold an
nudienP for five reels. Such a story
"Llttlo Miss Optimist." All these
different elements nre found In just
tho right proportion nnd tho result
is thnt there arc no monotonous or
lrnggy spots.
Miss Martin plays the role of an
optimistic little waif, who, though In
mean circumstances herself Is always
ready to help those who have fallen
by. the wayside. At one time her
generosity leads her to give a prec
ious battered dlmo to a half-starved
young man. This coin flguroB prom
inently In tho rest of tho story, fin
ally convicting a man of murder
arid saving tho falsely accused. A
pretty love themo involving the
dqwn-and-outcr who becomes suc
cessful and the girl, who is finally
turned out of her homo, the former
being able to reciprocate the Jatter's
kindness, runs all tho way thmugh
The complication whlcn has the girl's
brother accused of murder, dealing
with the fateful part of the "lucky
dime" has In revealing the identity
of the' real murderer, is handled very
delicately and coherently. It makes
a fine bit of suspenseful melodrama.
The fact that the thief nnd the real
murderer is outwardly a "pillar of
the church" makes any solution seem
all tho more hopeless.
Robert Thornby's direction, rend
ers the whole picture Intelligible and
convincing to the spectator. The ac
tion Is brisk nnd interesting, nnd nov
el offecta in setB, lighting and photo
graphy aro noticeable. Tom Moore,
one of the best juvenile players on
the screen, excels ns the hero.
fchiirlcs West',' Ernest Joy, Charles
Gerard nnd Helen Bray have con-
splcuous parts In the cast. The net"
Ing to be seen In the picture Is of a
very high standard.
"Llttlo Miss Optimist" Is a brisk,
well-balanced, thoroughly entertain
ing story, with the magnetic star In a
rolo thnt will surely please. It will
bo shown nt the Arcade today and
tomorrow,

Tho author of "The Woman In
White," which will be shown nt the
Star theatre, Saturday, understood
iar Willi the novel in order to enjoy
the picture ' Some of the material
seems rather conventional and Sir
Porcival Clyde nnd Count Fosco nre
as fine a pair of theatrical villi..
as ever graced an old-time re"!o
drama, but the human interest of the
story is always vital nnd nil the char
acters lead anything but peaceful
lives. ,
The plot deals with two w.!rr?n
who bear a vmarkable resemblance
to each other. One Is an heiress,
the other is poor and feeble minded.
Laura Fairlie. tho heiress, becomes
the wife of Sir Peroival Clyde, who
marries her for her money and Is
ready to stop at nothing In order to
get his wife's fortune into his hands.
I, The first step Is when be learns of
J the escape of Ann Cntherlck from the
insane asylum. The woman dies
nnd he secures the body. His v.-:fe
is ill at the time. Sir Peroival ba3
her taken to the asylum r.s Ann Cnth
erlck and gives out tho Information
that bis wife has expired, the Body
of the insane woman bring buried rn
her place. The story ends with the
death of Sir Porcivnl and the reunion
of Laura with the man she always
loved, a young artist, separated from

Impression made by the picture.
