Marguerite Clark Surpasses All Form- er Screen Triumphs in Famous Ro- mance, “Gretna Green.” Marguerite Clark, the dainty and magnetic little star, who sprang into instant and national popularity as a iscreen favorite through her two pre- ‘vious Famous Players' productions, ‘Wadflower and The Crucible, returns to the screon on Wednesday and Thursday in the Famous Players’ Film company’s four part picturization of Grace Livingston .Furniss’ celebrated ‘romantic comedy, Gretna Green, in which she far surpasses all her form- er successes. This latest appearance of the diminutive and charming star on the Paramount programme is cen- tain to establish her as one of the foremost screen artistes of the world. The play possesses all the essential elements valuable to the successful screen drama—love, sacrifice, humor, mystery and thrill—and is of the pic- turesque period of the early nine- ‘teenth century when romantic elope- ments to Gretna Green, a lovers’ ha- “Ven in the North of Scotland, added a dash of excitement to many true Jove-matches, when hearts reigned ‘over the marts of commerce, just be- fore the prose of business usurped the poetry of romance in old Eng- land. In “Gretna Green,” Marguerite Clark ortrays the character of Doily Ers- ine, a little English belle and a bit of a fliirt, but loyal to her friends and brave of heart. She queens it over Harrowgate's beaux with sovereign sway, until she loses her heart to bandsome Richard Murray, a riding master. he is too proud to confess her affection for him, however, even to herself, but nevertheless often fa. vors him above others with her so- ‘elety. Richarq has lost his head and heart, too, and has determined to win the wiliful Dolly. Throughbut this Pfirlnd of the story, the audience knows that Murray is in reality the Earl of Basset, who, weary of the fawning hyprocrisy of soclety, is liv- ing incogmito in Harrowgate and hugely enjoying his first experiences as a laboring man. ~ A friend whom Murray accidentally meets is abcut to reveal his identity, but Richard dissuades him from this course, as he has resolved to win Dol- 1v's love in the guise of a riding-mas- ter, and without the assistance of title and position. To save a _ frivolous mmarried sister’s reputation, Dolly asks s ’l’d. and they arrive at Gretna Green to prevent a disgraceful elope- ment. How Dolly’'s reputation is thereby placed in jeopardy, how una- ‘wafe of the full import of what she is saying, she makes a statement which ::uralng to the Scotch law makes her ‘hard’s wife, the many complica- tions that follow this impromptu mar- riage, and the delightful comedy of Dolly’s final capitulation to the hus- band she pretends to detest but really adores, are thrilingly unfolded in this fascinating photoplay.
