Second Day of "Her Silent Sacrifice" The Princess is repeating "Her Silent Sacrifice" today. In the play Alice Brady as Arlette is a French girl who dwells with her grandfather, the proprietor cf an Inn. within the quaint village of Savenev. Arlette's ntry Into the world was a somewhat unofficial one, and the stigma o? this has made life In the provincial little town anything bnt pleasant for her. Richard Vale, an indigent vonnsr American, comes to Savenet to sketch, and lodges at the Inn. He meets Arlette. and. attracted by the girl's -wild beanty. induces her . to pose. This she finally consents to do, and falls deeply In lore with him. The portrait Is at last finished, and Vale, ppnniless. is at the point ol starvation. He is found unconscious by Arlette, and she henceforth becomes bfs patron saint and ministerins ar.gel. Prince Boissard. arriving in Sevenev In quest of diversion, takes a violent fancy to Arlette, and. repulsed by her. becomes wonderfully ingenious in thinking up methods oi conquest. An art connoisseur, he sees merit in Vale's painting, -which Arlette is responsible for his seeing, and he proposes to help Vale, financially and in other ways, provided Arlette will, in the course of time, grant him the intimacy he wishes. Arlette undergoes a silent struggle, but in the end agrees, that Vale may benefit. A year passes, and the price is about to be paid by Arlette, when Vale returns from Italy, famous, and Prince Boissard is killed in his attempt to ravish Arlette. by his Hindu servant. Arlette is then free to love and marry Vale. Fox Kiddies in Big Production The feature at the Dixie today makes us suspect tnat even n you have passed the age when "Jack and the lleanstalk" is your favorite work of fiction, you will undoubtedly enjoy the recollection of the old thrills that this screen version will bring to your mind. It is the sort of thing that yon invite a child to see. chiefly as an excuse for going yourself, and then proceed to enjoy it as much as your small guest. The exciting old lale has been developed on the screen v.-ith absolute fidelity to the original story and is staged in an elaborate and spectacular setting, which reproduces all of its delightful horrors and thrills. The giant is as huge and ferocious as a giant could possibly be. the miracle of the beanstalk is as convincing as it trcs in our childhood and ail the exploits of the dauntless Jack are reproduced exactly as thev were told in the wellworn old-fashioned picture book. rThe cast is made up almost entirely of children who enter into the spirit of the play with very evident enjoyment. The miniature village of Cornwall swarms with these 1HIputian Inhabitants who were saved as we all remember, from the ferocity of the giant by the fesrless Jack.
