partner appears as an Italian. The

distinct novelty and one of a viry
unusual type. At present there

she does it by means of at hair bob
and darlingly chic frocks, which
work such -a startling change in
her appearance that she scarcely
looks like the same person.

erful as Miss Sweet's "Anna Chris

brother from the death chair, risk
ing even dishonor to get the evi
dence which iwi.ll clear him, tense
situations develop which keep in
terest at fever point.
The change wrought in Miss
Sweet's appearance by bobbing her
curls and changing her frocks is
one of the most interesting screen
transformations on record. .The
frock which she wears in the final
scene, when j she is trapped witn
her sweetheart at the annual ball
given by the crooks of the under-
world, was designed for her by an
internationally famous artist, and
makes her a striking figure as she
fights with her back to the wall
for her life and that or her sweet
heart. I
Warner Baxter, who plays op
posite to Miss Sweet in the Ince
production, also lends an -illustration
of the 1 .change worked by
clothes and a hair cut in a man s
appearance, for he puts over an
effective disguise in this .way. with
no makeup aid except that of a big
scar, painted on one side of his
face. Lambert Hillyer directed

VThe Marriage Circle." It is at
once sophisticated and simple,
humorous and serious, with ! its
story , of a discontented rich wife
who begins to make things hum
when she takes a fancy to the
husband for her old girlhood
chum. It doesn't matter one whit
to Mizzi that the husband is very
much in love with his own wife;
no! she's too much woman to see
the logic of and she bo-
gins to turn things topey turvy
domestically. : i j
The acting of the whole group
is beyond praise. One learns
what acting is after beholding
this wonderful film action. ! Marie
Prevost as the little gadabout
coquette of a wife had advanced
in impersonation, and is worlds
removed from the Marie of jhe
past. And Monte Blue, as I Dr.
Franz Braum, who tries and suc
ceeds so dismally to extricate
himself from the cunning plot of
the imperturable charmer, lifts
acting to new heights. There's no
use talking: about the acting of
the others you will be able to
make your own enthusiastic com
ments, and the picture is" so gen
uine' a triumph .that wo know
you'll attend.

"The Bedroom Window" opens

day for a run of two days. May
McAvoy, Malcolm MacGregor, Ric-
ardo Cortez, Robert EdesOn.
George Fawcett and Ethel Wales
are all featured In leading roles
The story, written especially for
the screen by Clara Berangcr, is a
mystery-melodrama-murder - com
edy-love story on the order of
"The Acquittal" and "Grump," but
even more novel and startling
than either of those successes.

plays the versatility of the man to
a greater extent than heretofore
The rescue of the girl from the
back of her runaway steed, the
changing of himself and the girl
from his horse to the wild .animal
that plunges headlong into' seem
ing destruction.'is a real thrill of
a lite-time and remarkable
photography shows it to the finest

such maturity of thought, such

such a wealth of anecdote and il

it is Incredible; it is un-anything

fluently at the age of one year;
of the Sidi lad who was ready for
