1 HIT AHIH’T MARGI EHITE CLARK
Margeurite Clark, the daintiest,
most charming and lovable of all the
screen stars, is to appear at the '
Grand Theatre on Monday in her new- j
cst Jaramount photoplay, "Prunella,”
adapted from the stage version by.
Granville Barker and Laurance Hous- ,
man. in which she appeared on the ,
stage a few years ago.
Miss Clark's father was a promi-
nent merchant of Cincinnati, Ohio,
but it is a safe wager that her rec-
ompense for acting before the all-
seeing eye of the camera Is greater
than her respected daddy ever recelv-
.1 for his business. She is the only
member of the family bitten by the
tug "stageitis,” She was nabbed ear-
ly ir life by this virulent insect and
the symptoms became evident in her
childhood not so very many years
ago—when amateur theatricals gave
her a start.
She has ben on the stage ever since. ■
having made her professional debut
with the famous Aborn Company at
Baltimore. She then turned to mu-
sical comedy, played a number of suc-
cessful engagements in drama and
straight comedy, appearing in “Jitn
the Penman" and "Baby Mine” She
created the role of Zoie in the latter
at Chicago. Other of her plays were
"Lights o’ London." and "Affairs of
Anatole." Later she created the title
role of "Snow While,” which ha
since become one of her best known
photoplays as has "Prunnella,” which
was her last stage appearance
The dainty Marguerite owes her
screen debut to astunning photograph
of herself In "Prunella,” which came
to the attention of Adolph Zukor,
president of the Famous Players-
l.asky Corporation He went straight-
way to see the play and having seen,
came again and again Each time he'
stundied the little star more and more
carefully and became more and more
impressed with her beauty and per-
sonality

In adapting this work ;
Director Maurice |
Tourneur, who staged the production!"
for Art'-raft. has carried out the idea'
of the author in making the photo
play understandable He discussed;
the scenes with the tiny actor#, who!
are theoretically the leading eharac-|
ters, believing tint if these children
can grasp th* *''iv, the ivit i.-- pa-
tron of a niovi'ir picture theatre wtih
the aid of the lucid titles which em-(
hellish the film, should easily follow’
the play and understand the allegory
The result is a unique play, of stu-
pendous magnitude, in which is In-
corporated the highest technique of I
photographic art. with multiple film;
exposures requiring infinite care and
patience.
Settings of colossal size and en-
sembles of hundreds of people make
this photoplay a niightv spectacular
Offering in which the artistic details
have lieen carefully looked after.
