Hazel Dawn Triumphs
In Screen Drama of Love
And Social Intriguz
The fascinating, youthful star, Hazel
Dawn, whose unusual screen successes
ir. “One of Our Girls” and “Niobe” re
cently actuated the Famous Players
Film Co. to induce her to abandon the
stage permanently and devote all her
time to a series of important photo
plays, returns to the screen at the
Alcazar Monday in an elaborate photo
production of Ronald MacDonald’s
famous story o f love amid the intrig
ues of high society, “Gambier’s Advo
cate,” in which she will portray the
charming and powerful character of
Clarissa.
This latest production of the Famous
Players Film Co, on tbe Paramount
Program provides Miss Dawn with the
greatest screen vehicle she has had so
far for the expression of her charming
capabilities as an emotional ingenue
star.
The role of Clarissa exceeds by far
the dramatic value of her last charac
terization, “Niobe,” in which she at-■
tained an undisputed degree of success I
and which should therefore be consid
erably surpassed in her present im
personation. Clarissa proceeds through
the drama never losing or decreasing
her firm hold on the interest of the
audience, maintaining its constant
sympathies and emerging at last
triumphant and vindicated. Hazel
Dawn, with her sparkling charm, her
irresistible vivacity, her captivating
alertness and gracefuly activity,, makes
of the character of Clarissa a thor
oughly fascinating creature, imbubed
with the fires of youth, the Impulses of
love, and the devotional faith ofg a true
woman.
Miss Dawn is ably supported by a
sterling cast, including James Kirk-1
wood, who directed the production asj
Stephen Gambier. Fuller Mellish, Dor
othy Bernard, Robert Broderick, and
the noted stage favorite, Maude Odell.
