SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924. EME W PICKFORD PICTURE FITS HER FINE GENIUS —— After being somewhat of a dis- appointment in “Rosita,” a picture unsuited to her fine ability, Mary Pickford has come back to the screen and to the heart of the American public In “Dorethy Vernon of Had- don Hall.” . America's sweetheart here has a role that only a great ac- tress could interpret. Ever in those ol4 days when women were elevated on pedestals and were not supposed to possess personalities there must have lived some women who were different. Among them was the Mistress Dorothy Vernon who was willing to brave death’ and disgrace to save her loved ones. And there was no simplicity of sacrifice in her attitude. Watch the fair Dorothy ride at break-neck speed along the of & castle and you will know fat there must have been such Women as Mable Strickland in the Bixteenth century as well as today. It is of credit to Mary Pickford that sho has given zést and vitality to Dorothy Vernon, that she has made her a person who is peculiarly dy- namic and that she has done ail this without sacrificing that distinc- tive grace and refinement usually associated with ladies of a few hun- dred years ago. Allan Forrest is a very acceptable hero. Polished and courageous the hero does some surprising things. Forrest, ft. is said, would rather be @ leading man for Mary Pickford than a star in his own production He refused several other offers in order that he might*play this role and the theater going public will no doubt be pleased that he has refused them since in the role of Sir John Manners he plays with success. “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall” opened an engagement at the Amer- ica theater yesterday.

The night selected in which to film this action was one of those chilly fall evenings when a wrap feels good and one is apt to dréam of a cozy nook by? the ‘open fire. However, players cannot be choos- ers, or, to quote Tennyson, “Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to ao and Ge.” Miss Frederick and ‘Miss O'Algy never thought to ob- ject to the ‘night, as their chief in- terest is In art, and true artists are immune to outside conditions. For more than four hours in thin gowns suitable for the reception room these two players endured the torrents of manufactured rain on a studio lot. They were drenched at the beginning of the taking of the fequence and soon teeth began to chatter. Hot coffee was served be- yveon scenes and the players wrap- ped in blankets to prevent taking cold. Lou Tellegen, who also work- ed in the scene, received his share of the rain, although he was clothed in more appropriate attire. — ee “LAW OF COMPENSATION’ STARS NORMA TALMADGE Motion picture devotees who en- joy a photoplay with a real plot which is developed from incidents which might have happened to their next door neighbors, or even to themselves, will revel in The Law of Compensation, which has been re- vived recently by the Selznick Dis. tributing Corporation and is now being shown at the Wyoming. The beautiful and versatile Norma Talmadge gives able and sympathet- fe interpretations of her two roles —one as the youthful wife who ts in grave danger of falling into the unscrupulous hands of a plausible young man; the other that of the wife's mother, whose tragic history ips related to the girl by her father. The latter part affords Miss Tal- madge splendid opportunities for emotional acting, and it fs greatly to her credit that she makes the most of them without crossing at any time the hairline boundary be- tweon tender pathos and mawkish fentimentalli ra SALT CREEK BUSSES 3 Busses # Day Each Way LEAVE CASPER Townsend’ Hotel 8a. m., 10 a. m., 2:30 p,m LEAVE SALT CREEK Ba. m, 2 p. m., 5:30 p, m BAGGAGE AND EXPRESS Bus Leaves 9:30 Daily ers. to any man or woman who ¢an lift Salt Creek Transportation ~ompany ‘TTELEPHONS 144 NORTON FUN SHOW TO GLOSE THIS EVENING of his performances at the Columbla theater this evening.
