screen and private life.
This time he Is studying cnirog

recognize the various types of screen

Majestic.
THE Majestic Theater presents no
less a personage than E. H. Soth
ern as its nhotodramatlc star on
the week-end programme, this famous
romantic actor playing a dual role with
remarkable skill and conviction in "The
Man of Mystery."
This is a photoplay well adapted to
the histrionic style of Sothern. He is
called upon to play contrasting roles,
first a bent, deformed, and premature
ly aged old man, and then a distin
guished count, endowed with the grace
and fine breeding necessary to win
almost any woman. Charlotte Ives ap
pears to good! advantage as the wife
who loved her crippled husband for his
good character, but loves without res
ervation when an eruption of Vesuvius
works a miraculous cure of the cripple.
This eruption is the spectacular fea
ture of the play, the seething flames,
steam, lava and other terrifying details
furnishing many thrills. .
The scene of the story is laid In
Italy. The crippled husband is the vic
tim of a domineering and vicious
mother-in-law, and such is her influ
ence over him that he,is ready to com
mit suicide when he sees the volcanic
eruption. The intense heat and sulphur
fumes, instead of causing his death,
make him a new man, 20 years young
er, and he is cured entirely of his de
formity.
Incognito he returns to his wife.
wins her complete love, and at the
same time uncovers a plot hatched by
the mother-in-law, to betray his native
country. Love comes to his home and
the villainess rests behind prison bars,
the hero remarking, when the wife
would intercede for the mother. "Let
well enough alone. A Daniel come to
Judgment." This is said to be Sothern's
last picture.
A Hughle Mack Vitagraph comedy
and a scenic complete the entertain
ment.
Broadway.
No sex problem, no infidelity, no
vampire, no murderers. What's the
world of celluloid drama coming to?
The answer is; "Prudence the Pirate,"
an 'enchanting comedy-drama of the
land of make-believe,' a childhood
dream playing pirate. Gladys Hu
lette, a charming miss who may make
world-famed stars envious some
of these days, and Flora Finch, that
funny feminine figure of those famous
old John Bunny comedies, are head
liners In this Broadway Theater head'
liner for the week-end.
Miss Hulette registers a distinct sue
cess in this picture. She shows marked
skill in comedy Interpretation, and has
all the pep and abandon of young girl
hood. You laugh at little Prue's
pranks. Bmlle at the delightful pic
tures of human nature, and thrill at
the climax.
The story tells of a young girl long
ing for adventure. She can't "see" the
life led by her socially ambitious aunt.
Aunty wants her to marry a dude, but
he has never done anything to be proud
of. and is promptly placed on the black
list by Prue. Her head full of pirates
from the stories told her by the old
butler, Prue hires an old ship and
gang of wicked-looking fellows for
crew and sails the seas in true pirate
style. She captures Aunty and the dud
and Imprisons them on a ship. Hard
work works wonders with the dude

"The Thoroughbred." a pictured tal

Theater headliner.
A Colonel, his daughter, and a min
ister are the principal characters In
the production, not overlooking th
thoroughbred. The Colonel is of th
old Southern school, devoted to hi
state, his daughter and the "sport o
