Eleven Plays on New Triangle Program Olive Thomas Opens Month in "An Heiress for a Day"— Dorothy Dalton Closes in "The Unfaithful" DURING March Triangle will release eleven pictures. Olive Thomas opens the month, on March 3, in "An Heiress for a Day," a new comedy drama directed by Jack Dillon, in which she is supported by Joe King, a leading man new to Triangle colors. Miss Thomas, who is said to equal, if not surpass, her clever work in "Indiscreet Corinne" and "Limousine Life," has a charming role as a little manicurist with whom fickle fortune trifles. The second feature for this week is "The Shoes That Danced," an adaptation of John A. Morosco's American Magazine story dealing with life on the fringe of New York's underworld, in which Pauline Starke, Wallace MacDonald and Dick Rosson are featured. A Saturday Evening Post story by Frederic Bechdolt, "The Hard Rock Breed," is the first release for the week of March 10, showing J. Barney Sherry and Jack Curtis as the two typical hard rock men, and including in the cast Margery Wilson and Jack Livingston. The other feature is "The Sea Panther," an elaborate costume picture with William Desmond in the title role as a swashbuckling pirate of the days of Captain Kidd. Mary Warren, who has been with the Triangle forces for some time, makes her initial appearance as leading woman with Mr. Desmond. The famous Clara Morris wardrobe was utilized in providing costumes for this play. For the week of March 17, Roy Stewart stars in a new Western thriller, "Faith Ehdurin'," b'y Kenneth B. Clarke, said to be the strongest vehicle for a twogun hero in which Stewart has ever been cast. Supporting the cowboy star are Miss Fritzi Ridgeway and a carefully selected cast. "The Answer," a socialistic drama starring Alma Rubens, is the second release. Joe King enacts the role of John Warfield, socialist, and the supporting cast includes Claire Anderson, former Triangle-Keystone ingenue, Francis McDonald, recently seen as the highwayman in "The Gun Woman," Jean Hersholt, Wilbur Higbee and Betty Pearce. For the week of March 24, "Nancy Comes Home" is presented, with Myrtle Lind, late of the Triangle-Keystone bevy of beauties, and Jack Gilbert, who has recently returned to the Triangle fold. Myrtle Rishell, a newcomer at the Culver City studios, appears as a society matron. The adventures of a young school girl, who, neglected by her society mamma, cultivates the acquaintance of the family chauffeur, are divertingly portrayed. The second release of the week is "Innocent's Progress," a society drama featuring Pauline Starke, and numbering in the supporting body Lillian West, Jack Livingston, Charles Dorian and Curley Baldwin. Little Miss Starke, who is featured for the third time under the direction of Frank Borzage, enacts the role of a country girl who is driven from home by the false accusations of narrow minded parents, and seeks her fortune in a large city. Dorothy Dalton is seen in a two-reel feature, "The Unfaithful," released March 31, a play with an intensely dramatic plot. The second release for the week is "The Marriage Bubble," a diverting three-reel comedy-drama, with William Desmond in a dual role. "Another Foolish Virgin" completes the month's program. This picture is based on W. Carey Wonderley's story of the same title, and has been adapted for the screen by Charles J. Wilson of the Triangle staff. It is described as a society drama offering an unusual theme for a dramatic production. Included in the cast are Margery Wilson, Texas Guinan, last seen in the title role in "The Gun Woman," Mildred Delfino, Francis McDonald, Lee Hill and George Pearce. "The Lie" Under Way At the Famous Players-Lasky Fiftysixth street studio, New York City, the production of "The Lie," starring Elsie Ferguson, is well under way and the interiors will be completed this week, after which the outside scenes will be taken. J. Searle Dawley, the veteran producer, is directing this subject and pays high tribute to Miss Ferguson's art. "Studio work is made a pleasure," says Mr. Dawley, "with a talented woman like Miss Ferguson." "The Lie" was adapted by Charles Maigne from the play by Henry Arthur Jones. Miss Ferguson as Elinor Shale is surrounded by a strong supporting cast, including Betty Howe as Lucy, the treacherous sister, Dave Powell as Gerald Forster, whom both girls love; John L. Shine as Sir Robert Shale, their father, and Percy Marmont as Noll Dibkin, who loves Elinor and plays an important part in the story. Charles Sutton and Bertha Kent as the butler and maid add humor to the play. Percy Marmont is the English actor who appeared in "Rose of the World," with Miss Ferguson and John L. Shine is a member of the noted Shine family which has been prominent on the English stage.
