The next day the artist is found dead
and John is arrested for the crime. In
the trial it develops that Ruth had
gone to the studio alone and when Ar-
nold had attempted to force his at-
tentions upon her she had killed him.
So the case against John is discharg-
ed, and we are led to believe that
Ruth, too, is acquitted.
The story has been exceedingly well
and convincingly told; the suspence in
the trial scenes is splendidly managed
and the whole production has been
carefully and effectively handled.

who proves herself a sincere and pleas-

at a time when his daughter is dancing
for the edification of the assembled
guests.
The sight of his daughter under such
circumstances, immediately wrecks Gi-
ovanni’s mind, as he recalls the catas-
trophe which ruined his life. With a
wild cry he dashes to the edge of the
roof and before he can be interfered
with jumps off and is killed.
The death of Giovanni and Kirkham
clears the way for a satisfactory end-
ing of the story. The artist, Winston
possesses the love of Elisa and Mrs.
Kirkham and Armitage, who through
the loss of her love had lived a reck-
less life, are now happily united.

To watch Bessie Barriscale play a
role that calls for depth of feeling, seri-
ousness of thought and sincerity of
purpose is always a pleasure. Such a
role is offered her in “Not My Sister,”
a Thomas H. Ince dramatic produc-
tion. Miss Barriscale may always be
depended upon to present more than
a superficial study of any character
she assumes, and in “Not My Sister”
she makes Grace Tyler a woman of
brains and personality.
At the opening of the picture we are
introduced to the Tylers, a genteel
family in straightened circumstances.
Grace is anxious to help the mother in
a financial way and so obtains a po-
sition as -a model to M'shael Arnald,
a young sculptor. But when she learns

the usual hordes of strike-guards, and
last Tuesday the recent Youngstown
incident was duplicated whn a guard
at the Edgar Thompson company
plant, at Braddock, fired on strikers.
This was a signal for repeated volleys
into the strikers’ ranks and two were
killed and nearly 50 injured.

streets, selling minature statuettes and
always on the lookout for Kirkham un-
til one day, his search is rewarded.
He follows Kirkham to his home and
locates the number of his house.
I Mrs. Kirkham, who maintains a mis-
sion house in the Italian quarter, has
Elisa and her grandmother as frequent
visitors. Winston the artist had lost
all trace of his model after she had
finished the picture that created so
much comment. One day while calling
on Mrs. Kirkham at the mission house,
he discovers Elisa and her grandmoth-
er and urges the girl to continue pos-
ing as his model. Mrs. Kirkham like-
wise enters her endorsement of the
plan and gives Elisa’s grandmother her
own card, showing the address of the
Kirkham home.
Giovanni objects to the plan until he
sees the Kirkham card. Then he sees
a way to complete his vengeance. Mat-
ters so work out that in furtherance of
an attempted joke upon Winston, the
artist, Elisa has been induced to come
to the Kirkham home at a time when
the millionaires are giving a gay party.
As a climax to the festivities there is a
scene on the roof of the house which
has been gaily decked as a summer
garden.
Giovanni has meanwhile planned to
kidnap Mrs. Kirkham, purchasing the
assistance of a band of rowdies who
partly accomplish their work. Young
Winston arrives at the mission jut at
a time Mrs. Kirkham has been dragged
through a window and thrown into an
automobile. Vaulting to the street
through the window, Winston, com-
mandeering another motor, follows the
gang to the docks where they intended
hiding Mrs. Kirkham and holding her
for ransom. So close upon their heels
is Winston that their plans are frus-
trated. He arrives upon the scene in
time to call the police and capture the
gang.
Meanwhile Giovanni has gone to the
Kirkham house for the purpose of de-
manding ransom, arriving there during
the festivities on the roof garden. In
the entrance hall, he meets Kirkham
who, upon seeing Giovanni, is so over-
come by fright that he dies of heart
failure. Hearing the noise of gaiety
upstairs Giovanni rushes to the roof

AT THE QUEEN
Sunday and Monday
Virginia Pearson makes her initial
appearance in a Fox film in “Blazing
Love,” first in the role of a young girl,
then as a young married woman and
finally as a woman too old to hold the
love of her young husband. This grad-
ual ageing has been most effectively
handled by Miss Pearson. Her make-
up as the oder woman is spendid and
her psychological study of the woman
who tries to fight off gray hairs and
wrinkles and overcome her jealousy of
her husband is an excellent one.
The heroine of the story is Margaret
Walsh, who on the death of her young-
fiancee, marries a man much older
than herself. Some time after she
meets Stephen Bond and falls in love
with him. The husband learns of their
love and decides that only his death
can clear the way for their happiness.
Several years later, when Margaret is
married to Stephen the situation is re-
versed. Margaret is beginning to show
signs of age and Stephen is still young.
The earlier tragedy repeats itself.
Stephen meets Jeanne, an attractive
young girl, and falls in love with her.
Margaret, after vainly trying to per-
suade herself that she still retains her
husband’s love, and that he is simply
acting as Jeanne’s adviser, sees that
it is useless to fight against her ad-
vancing age and commits suicide.
The supporting cast is unusualy
strong. Wilmuth Merkyl is seen as
Stephen Bond and Louise Huff is a
dainty and appealing Jeanne.
Keenan Buel’s direction has brought
out the strong points in the latter part
of the story effectively and he has in-

California Style Knitted Suits in a range of smart
friends, is cruising the Mediterranean
on Kirkham’s yacht. Arriving at an
Italian village, gaily decked for some
local festivity, they go ashore to see
the fun. Leonita, one of the dancers,
attracts Kirkham’s fancy. While his
friends ply Giovanni with drink, until
he enters upon a drunken sleep, Kirk-
ham kidnaps the girl and takes her on
board his yacht.
To escape his unwelcome attentions,
Leonita jumps overboard and is
the rest of his life seeking vengeance,
and accordingly follows Kirkham to
America, bringing with him his little
daughter Elisa and her grandmother.
With the lapse of years Kirkham mar-
ries a society woman who is greatly
interested in settlement work and,
finding her marriage unsatisfactory,
devotes her entire time to charity.
Paul-Winston is a struggling young
artist who discovers Elisa one day at a
flower market and engages her to pose
for him. Kirkham, who encourages
Winston in his art, sees the picture and
the portrait of Elisa strangely impress-
es him. He learn from Winston the
circumstances of her discovery and
sets about to make her acquaintance.
To this end he is aided by Armitage,
who is another dissolute rich man,
ready for any adventure that his mon-
ey can stir up.

Pittsburg, Pa., May 13.—The eight-
hour sentiment is ablaze in this dis-
trict and thousands of employes at
the Westinghouse plants and other un-
organized concerns have completely
tied up these shops in their effort to
enforce the shorter work day. The
American Federation of Labor has
opened headquarters in East Pittsburg
and the gospel of trade unionism is
being spread among all classes of
workers in the manufacturing plants
and mills along the Monogahela val-
rarely sympathetic light; and, if for no
other reason, should carry home a val-
uable lesson to all who have the good
fortune to witness it.
There is entirely too much suspicion
and antagnoism directed toward the
helpless peasant with his queer cos-
tume and heavy carpetbag, who ar-
rives upon American shores needing
friendly welcome then more than any-
thing else; and no better medium that
the screen exists for disseminating
that truth. American freedom is held
up to oppressed persons abroad as a
sort of panacea for all ills; and it must
be grievous disappointment to those
who see the glory of a promised land
behind the famous statute down in
New York harbor to find the happy
American citizens so cold and indif-
ferent and even cruel.
“Sold for Marriage” conveys another
truth that too often is lost sight of in
the constant airing of corrupt politics;
and that is that the police stand as
the poor man’s friends, and not as his
oppressors. The leading characters in
the film are shown escaping Russian
persecution and finding their great re-
lief in the police of New York when it
seems that their injuries are to be con-
tinued in the strange country.
Marfa, the heroine of “Sold for Mar-
riage,” played by Lillian Gish, has a
real pedigree. The story, by William
E. Wing, involved three generations,
her grandfather, her mother, and her-
self. All of these persons are actively
