PRF.TTY MART.
Pretty Mary Thurman, whose grace
and agility was enhanced from long
practice in dodging pies in Mack Sennett
comedies, has at last come into her own.
Miss Thurman, who was long known
as “the Venus of the screen." decided
while working in the Sennett fun factory
that she could really act.
Accordingly, she quit the Sennett bevy
of bathing beauties to attempt some
thing more serious.
For a time she appeared with Bryant
Washburn, still in comedy roles, but at
has blossomed forth as a real
Imunatic actress.
She has the role of a fiery Italian girl
in The Valley of Tomorrow." in which
William Russell is starred and is to be
found at the Alhambra today, Friday and
Saturday.
THE BISHOP. ‘ ,
One of the characters who yields a
tremendous influence in ‘Les Miserables
Is the bishop.
Victor Hugo has given the world a
ne&lly good and lovable character in
the bishop, who Is
0 a big enough of a
I man not to yell
when Jean Val-
Jean, whom he be
blshop's favorite
candlesticks.
The spirit of
practical goodness
which Hugo cre
ated in his story
has been success
fully carried to the
screen by George
| Moss, who plays
r GEORGE MOSS. the role of the
[ bishop in a movie version of “Les Miser
ables."
The entire movie is well done and
those who enjoyed this classic on the
printed page will appreciate the Fox
movie version.
