central figure In the story are- far

which Edna Goodrich has appeared.
The narrative moves unfalteringly
to an Interesting and unexpected cli
max and permits Miss Goodrich to
visualise a more convincing character
than many of those she has hereto
fore brought to the screen The set
tings, attention to the minutiae of
production, photography, and costum

vehicle for the talents of beautiful
and popular star of the shadow drama

STRAND.
To those who viewed the stage ver
sion of George BroadhursJ's play,
"Today," It will be unnecessary to
say more than that the plcturlzatlon
of this gTlpplng drama, which was
substituted as a result of raljroad
delays for "The Little Girl Next
Door," at Moore's Strand Theater, as
the feature of the bill forHhe first
four days of this week, presents all
of the dramatic force of the original,
amplified by numerous scenes.
Florence Reed, in the central role,
that of Lily Morton, the luxury lov
ing young society matron who was
willing to barter her life for the
momentary pleasures that money could
bring, gives a strong portrayal. The
same can be said of Frank Mills In
the opposite role, that of her strug
gling husband, who rebuilt success
out of failure, and the members of the
large supporting cast. The produc
tion Is one that gives every Indica
tion of careful attention to detail on
the part of the art director, and the
photography reveals a happy accom
plishment of perspective effects rarely
brought to the screen.
The cabaret scenes are a photo

are related In delightful fashion In

photoplay attraction at Crandall'e Sa.
voy Theater. Aa in the two compan
ion pictures which preceded the sub
ject. Marguerite Clark Is filmed In the
role of Bab and offers a thorough
ly charming characterization.
The story opens with Bab literally
"had-over-heela" In love with the star
of a certain Broadway drama, which
she has recently seen. She learns later
that the production Is none too suc
cessful, so with the help of a young
man In the advertising business she
plans a publicity "stunt" which tl)e
pair believe will convert a failure
into a success. Bui the scheme mis
carries, the "Idol" misses the matinee
performance, and his wife, whose ex
istence Bab had never suspected, ap
pears on the scene.
A plcturlzatlon of the stage success,
"The Cinderella Man," featuring Mae
Marsh and Tom Moore, Is to be shown
today and tomorrow.
AMERICA.
The troubles of two waifs, Michelna
Libelt, a Roumanian immigrant to
this country, and "Blackia" Moyle, a
newsboy, form the first part of the
plot of "The Trouble-Buster." yester

American. Michelna, the girl (Vivian
Martin), takes care of "Blackie" when
he Is stricken blind by an accident.
Later she entered at an art exhibi

a grotesque thing, very much on
the order of the famous Billlken. It

believes that it has commercial pos

the credit for Its making to "Blackie."
