Lois Weber's newest picture, and the film feature st-tbe Liberty this week, is like "Humor. ' que" and other production of that type. Piofeasor Qrlg-gs ts endeavoring to keer hi wife and daughter with food and Shelter on the scant salary provided for bis services at one of the foremost schools of the country, where sons of the ' 141 rich spend their days in the clasn- room and nights In the cabarets, buying illicit liquor that costs more per bottk' - than the old professor makes in a week. ' His daughter. Amelia, ill and under nourished, accepts a position in the pub lio library. It is there that she meets Phil West, one of the professor's most troublesome pupils, on a rainy afternoon With, the bottom of her shoes worn out. she accepts West's -invitation to ride home In his touring car. Upon arrival at the Griggs borne West awakens and realises the Injustice, wrought uion the ' eld. professor, lie appeals to h la father , trustee of the college, for a riatee In : Griggs' salary. West is desperately In love with Amelia. He organises a night class for the professor and is success ful In obtaining the, pledge of his class mate! that they, will start In to study. that the action of the story takes place in only one country does not deprive It of any picturesque effect. The same artistry with which every Hayakawa production Is invested is paramount in "Black Roses," which ! opened at the Peoples theatre Saturday. During the course of the production Hayakawa is seen in three distinct characterizations, first as a happy-go-lucky gardener on the estate of a millionaire ; next as a hardened victim of circumstances, when by falHC evidence he Is( convicted; of a murder he never committed, and finally as a Chinese prince moving In the high est circles ti society where he succeeds In finding and punishing those who were responsible for his life's tragedy. In "Black Hoses," Hayakawa is supported by a strong cast. Tsuru AokJ, a star In her own right, and In private life Mrs. bessue Hayakawa, is seen in the leading feminine role.

The raise ' never materialised . but the bookkeeper became the controlling stock holder of the business and he married the girl who had remained 'constant to him throughout two decades of hard ship. It ts the. story the same old story of everyday occurrence the story of a man grown old in the Horvicerf his employer, who looked upon Yum as a . pensioner lucky to hold a job that a beginner would probably lake for less. Throughout the story there Is a strons and romantic love theme. There Is the love of a couple grown old in service . and yet at the age which should be the prime of life. And then there is the romantic story of the love of two young ters with the world before them. The Rlvoli also offers "Brownies Little Venus," Rlvoli news and the Trlzma color picture.

I just want to rest a little while. x Now, pray tell me, who cares where I was born, or whether I am part Chi nese or not. or what sort of soup I like? As a matter of fact. I'm a most un punishable person, because there are so many others who have had excitement In their lives, and big Incidents, while mine-j- Notorlety, you know, is euch splendid press material and I have never had any. Where shall I begin? not smoke or drink or swear or keep late hours. I! am not temperamental. But I do enjoy being a leading woman and a star. But it isn't the thing It elf, altogether it's the glory of doing my snare. Two and one half years have I been in pictures, and - these are some of the things I have done: First part In "God'a Man." with H. B. Warner : co-starred with ftobart Hen ley In "Parentage"; starred Ty Essanay In "On Trial" ; starred by Iran In "61ns of Ambition" ; co-starred with E. K. Lincoln in "Freedom of the World"; starred with Montagu Love in "Ven geance" ; starred in "Heart of a Oirl." "Heredity." "Just Sylvia," "The Rough neck," and "What Love Forgives." ahd I am particularly proud of the fact that I was starred with William Faversham in the Artcraft specftU,' "Silver King."

It always seemed to me that this was put-j ting something over on me, but they I were three to one and I had to Btand it. 1 Besides. I liked fishing well enough to cook the fish afterward. Then mother aept me to a ' convent, The Castle, at New Roehelle, where I stayed for seven years. And the good sisters taught me many things that have I always been useful and helpful to roe. I really wanted at one time-to become 1 a sister but I changed my mind. After that I went to Canada with! mother, and learned to play golf. And the great ' war broke out and tipped the financial boat so we all had to swim for ourselves. I had to earn my own living and knew French and golf.
