LWAN.ani OOHOTHY GISH JO O . W. GRIFFITH'S ORPHANS OP THE STORJA
As the 6tory develops blind love
is awakened with results described
as surprising.
Delightful romance, the lively,
entertaining caprices of five or
phaned children and the thrlls of
a battle between Mexican bandits
and a small army of defenders for
the possession of a silver mine are
the outstanding features of the lat
est Meighan play. Leatrice Joy,
the attractive girl yon will remem
ber in "Saturday Night," is Mr.
Meighan's leading support. Oth
ers prominent in the cast are
Maude Wayne. Adele Farrington,
J. P. McDonald,' Laurence Wheat,
Charlotte Jackson, Barbara Maier,
Bruce Guerin and the DeBriac
twins.
The story of "The Bachelor Dad
dy" centers around Richard Ches
ter, a wealthy owner of mining
property in the south, who is en
gaged to marry Ethel McVae. the
haughty daughter of a poor widow.
Sully Lockwood, his private secre
tary, secretly loves him, but know
ing him to be engaged, she makes
no display of affection.
Chester receives word that sev
eral bandits are threatening his
mine and demanding a ransom, and
although it is only a month before
j his wedding, he leaves to personally
handle the critical situation. Joe
j Pelton, his foreman, is mothering
! five children, from nine to baby
! hood, their mother having recently
jdied. The bandits' demands stern-
ly refused by Chester, they make
an attack and in the fight, Chester
I runs out in the cpen to rescue a
child. He is wounded, but is he
' roically rescued by Pelton. the
i foreman, who in turn, is mortally
wounded. Pelton's dying request
! is ttfat Chester adopt the five chil-
dren. who have come to love him.
I Arriving home, Ethel, his selfish
: fiancee, will not consider the adop
tion of the children. Chester yield
j lng to her wishes, places them in
1 schools all except the baby, which
; Sally, his secretary, offers to care
for in her home with her mother.
Th day before the prospective wed
ding, Chester and the baby are
stricken with the mumps and forced
to take to bed. In his despair,
Chester sends tor Sally, who moth
ers and nurses them both.
Ethel, on her wedding day. Is
hysterical upon hearing Chester is
ill. and goes to investigate. .The
situation which confronts her
Chester in bed with a baby, and
both cared for by Sally is too
much. She breaks the engagement
: and leaves.
Chester gathers his children back
' to his side and determines to re
j main a bachelor daddy. The baby,
' however refuses to be parted from
! Sally and Chester engages her and,
' her mother to care for the children.
; Then, of course, he falls in love
; with Sally. They are married and
in due course the arrival of new
; twins cause the two adopted twins
untold jealousy.
Edwlna Levin's sensational novel,
"False Colors," screened under the
Utle of "Reputation," has proved a
sirong starring venture for Trjs
cf.'la Dean. The pfbture has been
secured for presentation tomorrow
at the Rlano. Miss Dean is said to
nrn the gamut of human emotions
in this "play.
Revolvin around a dual rota, the
theme of "Reputation" concerns a
famous actres who dissipates until
success falls away from her. fche is
it? London, and a New York he
utrical magnate is waiting for her
to arrive to star on Broadway.
When she doesn't come, her daugh
tsrignoract of the relationship
impersonates her and makes a spec
tacular hit in her mother's guise.
Then back to New York comes the
wretched foman who, a year be
fore, was the brightest jewel la the
diadem of the drama.
