Wonderful Thing" Gives Star

,,M
Stanley "Tlic Wonderful Thlnn"
WH start the new yenr rlplit for movie
fins who n'e ntlmlrcre of Nerma Tnl
nidge and they nre legion. Fer the
flrtt time In n lone while this cnptlvnt
iff itar has deserted the heavy emo
tional parts which phc has csnyeil lntely
Wd new appears In n cemedvdrama
wlhlch hrlnrt out utrengly the ficlnnt-
lighter slde of her personality and
Vtnnltfl her te use the famous smile
whh which she flrst captured the hearts
C'the public.
There Is nothing particularly unusual
tft the story, but It Is se well put to te
Cither and bound by se many Reed
comedy nub-tltlcs that Its well-worn
themes are lest sight of In the pcnerel
Impression of delight nnd satisfaction
wllch U gives.
Nerma plays the part of the daughter
f, an Amc-lcnn "hog king" and mil
lionaire. She has spent her whole life
In a French convent school and her
dialogue Is entirely In comedy dlaleet,
which, while scarcely convincing In an
American girl, even with French edu
cation, Is sufficiently bright ami nmus
lar te keep the element of fun upper
Most. She falts In love with n young Eng
lishman, a member of a nebhlsh old
family which has fallen Inte poverty.
She boldly propose te him. nnd he,
trtlng In dire need of money te p-etect
hit; younger brother from arrest for
forgery and his family from the poor peer
house, marries her. Hut by the time
he discovers he took her only for her
wealth he has really fallen In love with
hr and she has wen the hearts and the
gratitude of the whole family. She
aves everybody, of course, and all ends
happily.
Miss Telmndgc hns, perhaps, less
hance te use her gift of pantomime In
this picture than In any of her recent
tw. There Is net a great deal of ac
tion te It. the story being advanced
almost entirely by means of the sub
titles, but they are clever enough te
carry It, and the photography, with the
exception of one close-up sequence, en
dows her with nil the beauty nnd al
tering charm that her admirers expect
f. her.
Harrison Ferd mnkes an attractive
and convincing leading man, his acting
being uniformly Intelligent nnd un
forced, Julia Heyt, known in peclety
and te press agents as Mrs. Lydig
Heyt, makes her screen debut in this
picture; but, while she Is photographic
enough, It cannot be sold that she hns
learned hew te move before the camera.
Others in the cast arc Heward Trues
dale, Itebert Agncw, Kthel Fleming,
Mabel Burt. Walter McEwen, Charles
'Craig and Fanny Burke.
Arcadia If anything (else were
Meded te establish lovely Betty Comp Cemp Comp
en firmly in the hearts of picturo picture picturo
feers, "The Little Minister" should de
ft, even without the recent photoplays
Is which she has appeared. And
qually firmly should it fix the name of
Penrhyn Stanlaws in the memories of
2boteplay fans as n director, for her
let three vehicles have been made under
his supervision and all of them hnve
been far above the average In intelli
gent conception, artistic feeling and
technical execution.
Bnrrle's quaint story of Thrums life
la tee well known te need retelling here.
The picture adheres closely te the book
and the sub-titles are taken almost en
tirely from its pages, with their Thrums
dialect nnd their keen portrayal of
Thrums character. The settings fairly
bring te life the little village as Barrle
has made us knew It and fans have sel
dom had an opportunity te tee such
Tltal nnd consistent chnractcr acting ns
la given by the members of the cast who
have been assigned the various roles.
Miss Compson herself grows mere
winsome and mere captivatling with
ach picture she makes. Her charm is
that rare one that nppeals te women as
well ns men and it Is only necessary te
bear the comments of the audience te
he convinced that she is winning an Im
mense following by her consistently im
proving work. She is a very reincarna
tion of Lady Babbie.
Gcerge Hackntherne, ns the Little
Minister, is unfortunately the weakest
pet in the cant. He nets well enough,
liut hlB conception of the rele is net a
yxnpathetlc one. nnd his personality
leaves one hoping that Babble's ro
mance will end happily rather than
convinced that It will.
Rebert Brawer, ns Tamraas, nnd
. Mary Wilkinson, ns Nanny, give two
of the best character Interpretations
annen the screen In a long time. Nigel
Barrle is an impressive nnd striking
looking Captain Halllwcll and ether
8 arts are played excellently by Edwin
tevens. Will B. Walling, Guy Oliver,
IVed Huntley nnd Jeseph Hazleton.
Palace One of these "after-thcy-wape-married"
yarns Is told with n de
gree of Interest nnd suspense in "The
Child Theu Gavest Me." in which
Lewis Stene, Barbara Pastleten und
William Desmond play the three cor
ners of that old, familiar triangle.
The situation of a bridegroom, en
the very day of his wedding, finding his
bride clasping a little boy te her
breast nnd crvlng, "I thought he was
dead," is sufficiently unconventional te
give the picture n running start, und it
never flattens out tee much.
Lewis Stone gives a strong per
formance, and little Richard Headrielc
Is as cute and appealing a youngster as
'Over made inntlnce audiences weep
copiously. Adcle Fnrrlngten, old stage
rtar, contributes a neat bit, and Win
ter Hall is his customary effective
elf.
Victeria. Tem Mix, without chepa,
apurs nnd bandana, as a "rough ten ten
dereeot" ,1s a feature se unusual that
the picture in which he happens te ap
pear fades into insignificance. How
ever, let It be noted that the film has
the suggestive und praiili-land title of
Trallln' " and Is plentifully supplied
With thrills.
It's all nbeut n young man who gees
at West te seek his father's slnjer

about the flnnl fndo-eut. It has Ui take

"GARDEN FROLICS" SCORES
Star Duplicates Success of
Stage in Fine Screen Ver
sion of His Play
Aldlne These are days when hand-
picked, unduly inflated screen stars and
"starcttcs" must leek te their laurels
and de sonie ncting for n change. If
they de net some "decrepit old wreck"
from the spoken drama who considers
mere than his clothes in the ncting of
n part will come along and prick their
menev-inflatcd bubbles.
Geerge- Ariiss in no way resembles a
"decrepit old wreck," but he seems set
en showing n let of screen players n
thing or two nbeut their own art. In
"The Devil" he began their education;
In "Disraeli" he Just about finishes it.
The screen version of "Disraeli" Is
net at all what some peeple expected it
would be, a mutilated, distorted, movie mevie
ized version of the btage play, with n
set of sub-titles that emanated from
some obscure cccnarle writer. Ne, sir.
It is every whit as dignified and sincere
ns the original and, by the same token,
every bit as fascinating.
The sterv of the great English states.
man and his "dream of empire" is told
directly ana dramatically. Thcre are
thrills In his efforts te cope with the
machinations of KusbIuii spies in his
plan te put across the purchase of the
Suez Canal; real pathos in his nttneh
ment for his wife, the nlllng Lndy Bea Bea
censfield; spirit and color in his final
triumph ns he walks through the court
room te receive the thanks of his be
loved Queen.
The pretty Uttle love story of his sec
retary is told in a miner key which
never disturb the main theme. Ariiss
as Disraeli Is always the main figure,
alwajs the appealing one.
The great dramatic scene In which
Disraeli, apparently beaten by his ene
mies, commands the governor of the
Hank of England te make geed the
money for the canal's purchase is one
of the screen's finest moments, und in
the hands of Mr. Arils nnd E. J. Bat
cliffe becomes 11 mighty thrill indeed.
The period of the story Is well taken
care of; the characters that appeur in
Its telling move with authority and
geed taste. Louise Huff returns te the
screen u new person. A little mere
mature, but just as charming, she does
the best work of her career as the young
girl whose lee affair Disraeli cham
pions. Batcliffe, mentioned before, is
a commanding figure. Frank Lesee as
Meyers, the Londen banker, gives nn nn
ether of his finished character delinea
tions. Mrs. Ariiss Is appealing an the
statesman's wife.
The sub-titles, ery often tnken from
the play, are n real delight. There Is no
evidence in them of a desire te come
down te the level of the nickelodeon.
Their subtlety, their flashing wit, their
barbed Innuendo make them stand npart
from the nvcrnge stuff.
But, after nil, it Is Ariiss who domi
nates the film, as he hns dominated se
many stage plnjs of vastly inferior
merit. Last New Year's Day he wes
playing here in "The Green Goddess"
before the footlights. Cinema funs are
te be congratulated that lie has con
sented te divide his talents between the
two arts and has mastered the screen
technique as he did the stage. His DIs
well belongs in the picture Hall of
Fame.

This Is a meledrnmn, with comedy
