Can Ey Woman Really Love T IS commonly claimed, particularly in the past, that man’s weakness is his leaning toward more than one woman—but the saving of the world has been that WOMEN are DIFFERENT. A famous nobleman of France emulated the deplorable example set by Mare Antony and the other powerful men of history in their weakness. Remember the lon This nobleman live which bathed beautiful Always searching for a new beauty; wistful blondes, full-lipped slant-eyed brunettes; always youth ; feet scornful of the ground. Going to Paris one afternoon he saw a girl, A SLIM. WISTFUL BLONDE. It was Henriette Girard, a little country girl going with her sister to Paris. her name. ordered his servants to foll her to his palace AMID THE PAGAN, As the little innocent could never return. she was saved by a well-known young aristocrat-ahout-town, whose heart was touchexl by her plight. ONE OF THE SWEETEST LOVE STORIES IN HISTORY hegan between these two—the | poor but beautiful little girl and the great noble in the greatest kingdom—Franoce. Little Henriette had sworn an oath to her blind sister that she would not love any man until her sister had been cured and taken care of. TO KNOW LOVE IS TO ENOW ALL LIFE BECAUSE MOSTLY FOR A LOVE. In the neighborhood wher she lived she met another man. | WHOSE VOICE WAS THUNDEROUSLY ATHRILL. As the story is told in the literature of | the world,—*Did this unique litile character of Henriette ever really care for this giant of the people, Danton, who played such a big part in her life?" For it was Danton, afterward savior of France, who was Henriette's second lover. She herself always claimed she had never loved anyone but the Chevalior. THEIR LOVE AF- FAIR IS PERHAPS THE MOST ADVENTUROUS LOVE STORY THAT HAS EVER BEEN TOLD. As Mr. Griffith has told this story of love in “Orphans of the Storm"—OF THE WOM- AN FIGHTING TO LOVE ONLY O2X MAN and FIGHTING AGAINST THE CALL OF MAN'S LOVE TO BE TRUE TO HER IDEALS IS THE, STORY OF ALL WOMAN-KIND— OF ALL LOVE. So, in this story that he has told of Henriette and the bore for her and her struggles against love—paradoxical as perhaps not equalled in all the beautiful romantice stories that make you forget your dvery- day existence and give you Little things make big BLONDE TRESSES LITTLE GIRL. 1 may YOr, ING A NATION; you YCU GIVE OR THE WORD YOU SAY may be MORE AMERICA ARE DOING at this present moment.

The veranda of the Cafe Ritz in Parls affords one of the many in- tensely interesting scenes of the pic- ture. Here at the customary tables are grouped exactly the types that one would find in this exclusive es- tablishment for satistying the inner man and also pleasing the eye and ear. At one table is seated a couple of the bourgeoise, as is plainly discern able' by their appearance and dresséd in their expensive attire, over clabo- rate; their way of eating and talking But between them sits the daughter of the house—and the excuse for their presence in the Rita select confines— for she is lovely and refined and as At another is a typical continental woman in per- fect taste, with a gentleman, appar- ently of some foreign court; at anoth- er table sits an elderly man with startling whiskers who laughs and in- dulges in repartee with his compan- ion. Over there is Rodolph Valentino— looking his part of the ypung English baronet with Spanish ances He rises as Alec Francis, playing the father of Theodora, enter accom- who has of the last named They meet and V. ino takes them to his table. It is all cor- rect, all in perfect taste as Miss Glyn and Sam Wood, the director personai- ly supervised this scene. Then un- folds a wonderful romance of love that takes you through several coun- tries and finishes with a thrill that nearly takes one out of his seat. Oth- er photoplays on the bill and featured as extra attractions include Buster Keaton, the smileless comedian in his new comedy, “‘My Wife elations." It is a comedy of screams for its en- tire length and should prove one of the bright spots of the bill. Then as character. a decided novelty, Jesse Lasky, of the Paramount company, presents “A Trip to Paramount Land,” which shows the actual home and studios of the Para- mount photoplays at Hollywood, Cal. All the famous Paramount stars are shown at work. The Keith vaudeville bill for the first half of the week will feature four high class attractions for the fall opening and will feature “Leona Hall's Revue,” a classy offering entitled “Bits of 1922 It is a timely com- bination of minstrel and musical com- edy. With Miss Hall as the interlocu- tor and a mixed quartette of merit providing the melody, harmony and dancing, with bits of novelty intro- duced very cleverly, the act should prove very entertaining. Minstrels are generally blackface organizations, but Miss Hall believes in originality but doesn’t believe in disrupting tra- dition, therefore, her company is a combination of black and tan.

For Sun- day night only in conjunction with “Beyond the Rocks,” ter of his new serial. “The Perils of the Yukon,” a thriller with a wealth of interest and a story that is very exciting. George Chesebro in “The Love of the Service” is the other pic- ture, and should be well liked as it is a story of the famous Northwest, Mounted police. Mr. Chesebro was a sergeant of this noted police for sev- eral years and gives a mighty fine characterization in this picture. For Thursday and Saturday of ne week as the second big production for Paramount week, Wallace Reid, film- dom's popular idol, will be offered in The World's Champion,” a story that calls for an entirely different role than has been ever cast for Wally. The above productions are the first big bookings for the new fall season. | Gossip’s Corner Ammnnnd Diamonds, Sapphires.

B. . New York, Sept. 2.—Legs are com- ing back into the movies. Legs are what take the well-known Tired Bus- iness Man into the theaters. Legs are what brings dollars into the box of- fice. Dollars in the box office are what hibitors are in the business to get. Mack Sennett, who gnade enough money producing leg pictures to stop making them when silly censors be- gan to proclaim that a leg in motion plctures was a more insidious evil than a leg in the flesh on the stage, is responsible for the re-introduction of the bathing girl to the screen. The recrudescence of the movie leg occurs in “The Shriek of Araby,” a desert comedy in which girls will dis- port in a harem pool. Een Turpin is movie producers, disscibutors and ex-| | upper limbs arms, come stralght looking at them. Legs is legs, just as pigs is pigs, Some years ago legs were limbs, That was before short skirts became the style and when women tried to swim with nightgowns on. Only an uncouth person referred to lower limbs as legs. It was perfectly proper to call Legs was a word to be sald in a whisper and with a blush. Leg is a legitimate word, It is to be found even in abridged dlction- aries. Everybody has 'em. Even censors, who will probably order them amputated in the Sennett com- edies. The absence of musical comedles on the stage is given by Sennett as the reason for the revival of girl- show pletures. TFew musical come- dles are on the road because of the cost of transportation. George M. Cohan, the Shuberts, Hammerstein and others have made money with musical comedies because of {he music or the comedy contained in the shows so much as because of their selection of chorus girls. Protest against the girl-show movies was based on the assertion that they were not artistic, that they did not advance the standard of pic- tures. That’s but very probably true, the star. His eyes will probably be-'where's the art in a musical comedy not |° }ahnz contains little music and littie comedy? Critics’ Words Sometimes Attract Movie Patrons Space in advertising columns of various publications has been used recently to set forth remarks of this writer about certain players and cer- tain pictures, the inference being that recognition by a reviewer or critic is proof of the merit of a player or pro- duction, That fallacy has long been extant among the producers of stage and screen plays, Regardless of what re« viewers may say the success of & person or a production depands chief« ly upon its merit. Many readers fol- low the remarks of newspaper res viewers because they so often disagree with their opinions that they go to see a show when that reviewer co}l:- Ly demns it and stay away when commends it. He once met a government weathen torecaster who asked him how he ob- tained his results. Not recognizing the government man, the reader of the signs of the zodlac replied, “You know this fellow—(naming the man he was addressing)?
