The sunny disposition of Douglas Fairbanks has at last been dramat led in "The Habit of Happiness, | which comes to the Strand for the | last three days. of this week. Ac- | cording to. the plot, "Doug." has ! been given a profession that approxi- { mates that of thé Brothers Cheery- | ble in "Nicholas Nickleby." His | particular business is to make down- hearted people laugh, the very fiovelty of this brings "him more clients than he can ever hope to cure. Among them is a crabbed old milliongire, and Fairbanks takes pe- ; culiar intgrest' in this case, because {he 'has a Beautiful daughter. In the course of his strenuous efforts to re- lieve the old boy of the blues Fair- banks unearths a plot which is afoot to separate him from his wealth. Details of the conspiracy aim to abduct the millionaire and keep him safely out of finance until a certain transaction fs put over. Quite by chance "Doug." finds him- self involved in the plot apd defeats it in a highly ingenious as well as athletic manner. Alice Brady is the star of "a self-made widow," which, with comedy reels, will alse be shown, rounding out a double feunt- ure programme of exceptional merit. At Griffin's, "The prettiest girl in filmdom" will be seen at Griffin's to-day, Fri- day and Saturday, shen "The Great White Trail," 'the new super-feature will be shown. That person is Soris Kenyon, 'who plays the star part of Prudence Ware in this story of Al- aska, and what is more, she was not 80 named by the press department, In fact the name never occurred un- til the reviews of '"The Great White Trail" appeared in the various pap- ers, Then it was that she was nam- ed by the common consent of the re- viewers "the prettiest girl in film- dom," and the name has since mained. On the same prdgramme will be shown Fannie Ward in the Paramount picture, "On the Level." Don't fail to see this great star play the role of "Mexicali Mae," who af- ter an absence of ten years mets an old sweetheart and risks husband, home, position and wealth in a thrilling attempt to clear his name. +The fifth episode of '"The Fatal Ring, which is universely interest- mg, is another important feature of our programme for the last half of the week. .
