Miss Frederick's art is equal not only to the expression of the love of @ mother for her child, but of the love of a strange woman for the child of another. In “Bonds of) Love,” the child is the son of his father’s first wife; and the develop- ing love of the second wife for the little boy, and his appreciation of her affection create many subtle mo- ments which Miss Frederick and little Frankie Lee share. oe —_—__—_______—* : LITTLE ih ——" “THE ROAD THRU THE DARK” (Select) Clara Kimball Young arl of Btreilitz peererre: Jack Holt You'll see SENNET?’ COMEDY “THE SPEAK EASY” Wallace on the Murlitzer, playing “Indiana Moon” Liberty Pictorial Review Earl Alexander, Tenor Gabrietie Jardor His Highness, Duke K . ‘The Road Thru the Dark,” star ~ Clara Kimball Young, will open it the Little Sunday.
