LETTERS ENTANGLED. -A gripping featnre that you really ought to see. A tine human story, produced and acted in a manner which can only spell perfection. The love interest is exceptionally strong, and the ending problematical. The sweethearts and leading characters in the story were played by Henry King and Dorothy Davenport. — Seli'j drama, 1926 feet (Oct. 25). THE BREAKS OF THE GAME.— An unusual drama ; firstly, because it is a newspaper story, and, secondly, because of its remarkably rapid action. It deals with a girl newspaper reporter becoming enmeshed in the toils of a gang of desperate Chinese smugglers, and contains a hair-raising gun-fight among other things. Maxine Brown is the girl, and Augustus Phillips, Yale Benner, Harry Beaumont, and T. Tamomoto are in the cast. —Edison Drama, 1,035 feet (Oct. 18). THE SNAKEVILLE TWINS.— Showing the farcical effects of a humorous practical joke, and how the twins come to tile rescue of their father when he is being chased by the luckless victims of his wit. Hair-tonic, turpentine, and eggs are some of the ingredients which make laughter in this rollicking comedy, which features Ben Turpin, Victor Potcl. Margaret Joslin, and Harry Todd. — Essanay Farce, one Act (coming.) LITTLE PAL.— Another Marv Pickford production, and released this week. In Little Pal Marv"appears as a half-breed Indiau. She wears a straight wig and a costume that makes her look smaller than ever. It is an entirely new rule for her too. but she has made a hit of it, as she always does. You will like the beautiful snow-scenes, typical of the weird grandeur of an Alaskan winter. In a subsequent issue this film will be the subject of some more pen-and-ink sketches. —Fa,)i0„;i Players Drama, four parts (Oct. 14). THE GOLDEN PAVEMENT.— Brenda is a happy country girl, who falls under the spell of an unprincipled Londoner of the dub-man type, who leads her to the great city, with its fabled golden pavements. The sequence of this is a chain of events vividly real and human in their pathos. But the play ends happily, and Alma Taylor knows how to ring the changes from tears to smiles of contentment— beftwe the lights go up! A fine photograph of Alma Taylor in this him forms our frontispiece. —Hepicorth Exclmxve. 3,900 feet (epmmo). THE BIRTH OF A NATION.— "Without exaggeration the most wonderful film ever produced. The battle scenes are stupendous, the acting superb. We would not have missed it for the world. Neither must you !
