"THE EVIL WOMEX DO"
Bluebird Thotoplays have gone to
French literature for an inspiration
and Emil Baboriau's famous detec
tive story, "The Clique of Gold," has
been made the basis ot E. J. Claw
gon's scenario for the melodrama to
be persented at the Star theatre cn
Friday night, under the title of "The
Evil Women Do." The life of a Par
isian adventuress is related in many
stirring episodes, and the moral ef
fect of the picture is developed in the
punishment ot villainy and the tri
umph ot virtue.
Elsie Jane Wilson, who lately cre
ated a conspicuously favorable im
pression through her work in Bet
tina Loved a Soldier," a Bluebird ot
pleasant memory, has been elevated
to prominence in "The Evil Women
Do" and will have Rupert Julian as
her leading man. Francelia Billing-

ton plays the role of the persecuted
victim of intrigue; Hobart Henley is
the dashing French naval officer who
rescues the Innocent object of per
secution from the clutches of her op
pressors and in the triumph of virtue
and the punishment of evil the emo
tions are thrilled and the love ot sen
sationalism is satisfied.
The producers maintain their repu
tation for excellence in production
in giving "The Evil Women Do" an
adequate scenic equipment, and from
the large forces of competent players
a supporting company has been chos
en with every individual cast in roles
for which they are through their ar
tistic temperment particularly fitted.
In this Bluebird fulfills its policy to
make "The Play the Thing" and then
give it every advantage in the mat
ter of cast and presentation.
Pathe such splendid Gold Rooster
Plays as "Vit Wireless," "At Bay,"
and "New Tork," was entrusted with
the direction ot the motion picture
adaptation ot this famous play which jUM j.
opens at the Star theatre Saturday.
Jane Grey, the star, is a fortunate
choice. Her emotional qualities are
extraordinary, and her classic beauty
screens more than ordinarily well.
She has been starred in many motion
pictures and plays, but she has never
done finer acting than in "The Test,';
a powerful story of American life,
with a great big throbbing theme.
There is no chance of mlsunder-j
standing its message. It starts with
a rush and continues through five
reels, gathering momentum as it
goes.
Suppose a sweet little woman
some one near and dear to you
should be forced to sacrifice herself
to save her worthless husband from
the prosecution he deserves. Sup
pose the rich man should laugh at the
promise he made to get her, and send
the other to prison. Suppose she
should be offered one position, then
another, only to find what they really
mean. That's what wonderful Jane
Grey does in "The Test."
She resolves to commit suicide.
A novelist prevents her from carry
ing out her desire. "I've some
stenographic work you can do," he
says. She has heard that before
In just those words. , Then why
should she go on fighting? Why
shouldn't she take what she can get
and get all she can for as little as
she can give?
"All right," she says, "I'll go,
He takes her to his
There is a pause. Her voice breaks:
"Go on; bring out the drinks."
But he is the man she thought did
n't exist. You hope she will meet
the test and conquer. How will the
story end?
The supporting cast is one such
as is seldom seen on the screen. It
includes Lumsden Hare, the English
actor, Claude Flemmtng, Carl Har
baugh and Inez Buck, remembered
for her work In the title role of "The
Misleading Lady," the stage success.
Many of the scenes are laid upon a
millionaire's estate in Long Island.
