George Bayard, a State Senator and social reformer, of whose. idenâ€" tity she is ignorant, but whom _ she loves secretly. Her father plans to rob Bayard‘s home, where jewels of great value are stored, and Lois is charged with the duty of obtaining working data regarding the gems from Ralph Burton, the scapegrace son of Governor Burton, whose sister Doroâ€" thy is to become Bayard‘s bride. Unâ€" aware that Bayard is the man she loves because he saved her life, Lois goes reluctantly to the Bayard home with her father and a . confederate. While she is opening the safe. where the diamonds are concealed, ‘Bayard surprises her, She instantly recogâ€". nizes him as the preserver of her life: and when he talks gently to her, her dormant sense of good is awakened and she resolves to reform. The diaâ€" monds are stolen by Ralph Burton and suspicion rests upon Lois for al time.. Dorothy becomes jealous of Lois and breaks off her engagement to Bayard. Determined to quit her fa,fTher and the life she is leading, Lois goes to tell her father goodby when] Ralph insists that she is to go with him. She escapes by means of al fire escape and goes West, where she. finds employment on a farm. Bayard ultimately learns of her whereabouts from Lois‘ former confederate, reâ€" joins her and makes her his Wife.l The photoplay is filled with dramatic situations which hold the attention as by a spell to the final sceneé, and“ should prove a great attraction. ‘ When the picture was first viewâ€" ed by officials of the Canadian Exhiâ€" bitors‘ Exchange,‘ Limited, which conâ€" trols the Canadian distribution, they were very enthusiastic over the reâ€" ception, which would be accorded ‘"Romany Lass‘‘ by patrons of: motion picture ‘theatres throughout the Do‘- minion. No other English made film has equalled it in elaborate staging, excellence of photography, developâ€" ment of! story or in the remarkably fine characterizations presented by each individual player, "Romany Lass," when presented in the leading theatres of Great Britain for extended runs recently, received the unanimous approval of the foreâ€" most newspaper critics and the public. In fact the picture was responsible for numerous editorials, in which the press claimed ‘"Romany Lass" marked the greatest advance in English film production that has been recorded to date. In the picture ‘"Silent Sepp" is inâ€" debted to Dr. Armstrong, an eminent American surgeon, for having saved the guide‘s life on a previous occaâ€" sion. Gratitude to his. preserver prompts the guide to exert a special watchfulness over the wife of the surâ€" geon, who very nearly falls a victim to an army officer. It is the simpleâ€" hearted, inspired words of the famous old guide which finally make Armâ€" strong understand that the wife needs the little attentions of the courtship period to make her happy. Francelia Billington, as Mrs. Armâ€" strong, and Sam DeGrasse as the surâ€" geon, complete the capable cast of players. "Silent Sepp" Innerkoner, . worldâ€" famous mountain guide, who conductâ€" ed hundred of tourist parties into the skyâ€"washed Alpine peaks and who later lost his life in an attempt to save others, is made to live once more by the artistic portrayal of T.

OTH Wed. and Thurs., 11th and 12th $ JANE CAPRICE Friday and Saturday, 13 and 14th N v~ETHEL ~CLAYTON At the exhibition he met Mrs. Byâ€" field, one of the "new rich," whoâ€" like all the other people in her setâ€" pretended to he interested in art for art‘s sake. Brian immediately . beâ€" came a worshipper of this strikingly beautiful woman who showered praise upon him and ‘"looked things‘" with her eyes. And Mrs. Byfield meant to "look things." She was a loveâ€"starved woman who. realized ~that she had met a man whom she wanted to love herâ€"a handsome, young dreamer. As Pollyanna Whittier, Mary Pickâ€" ford quickly wins her way to the hearts of those who watch the play and succeeds in holding their deepest sympathy until the very last flicker in the final fadeâ€"out. There is a depth of feeling in this picture that has never been shown in any other production. Miss Pickford puts all the delicate shading into her work that only a great artist is capaâ€" ble of. She often carries her audiâ€" ence to a tear and then suddenly snaps the tension by a bit of quaint, laughâ€" provoking comedy,. There is nothing more convincing than Miss Pickford‘s characterization in this photoplay. She does not mereâ€" ly act the part of a little girl; she is a little girl. Her work in ‘"Pollyanâ€" na" indicates that she has devoted unlimited time to the study of chilâ€" dren, for there is no small characâ€" teristic which has escaped her. The pranks played by Pollyanna furnish unending fun,. Those with whom she comes in contact think it strange that this little girl is able to be glad no matter what happens. Her unusual philosophy wins many friends and in the end, after she has been badly hurt in an accident, those who had held out persistently against her teachings, and who needed the leaven of her philosophy the most, saw the folly of their ways and the "glad game" became a part of their lives. Brian Lazar was a healthy, happy, smallâ€"town boy with one consuming desireâ€"to paint beautiful things. He worshipped everything that was beauâ€" tiful; but most of all he worshipped Eileen Hawthorn, the delicate, exâ€" quisite little girl who had inspired him to paint the picture which had been hung at the exhibition at the end of the term of the small country art school which he had attended. This picture play differs from any of Little Mary‘s recent productions in that she portrays a little girl throughâ€" out the entire picture. first United Artists‘ production Britsh Canadian Pathe News Vitagraph, Pathe, Paramount Artcraft "THE GIRL WHO CAME BACK" AtAfA "BOUND AND GAGGED" High Class Photoplays "THE LOVE CHEAT" Harold Lloyd Comedy HARRY MOREY LATATAIAITAIA Big V Comedy =â€"1Nnâ€" â€"Inâ€"â€" Serial tAMAITAt )C Agent for Fire, Life, Accident, Autoâ€" mobile and Plate Glass Insurâ€" ance in Safe Companies and at Best Rates,, & Elsemere Avenue WESTON FIRE & LIFE INSURANCE REAL ESTATE St. John‘s Road Tel. 301 WESTON ONTARIO MILTON PRESSED BRICK CO., Limited $ Manufacturers of Pressed and Rug Brick, in the different shades of Red, Buff and Brown.
