Barrie's ‘Sentimental Tommy,”’ with a cast headed by Gareth Hughes, Mabel Taliaferro, May MeAvoy and George Faweett. | William S. Hart’s productions ‘‘O’Malley of the Mounted’? and ‘‘The Whistle,’’ are even bigger than ‘‘The Testing Block.”’ Folks ‘Il never forget Mae Murray in ‘‘On With the Dance.’’ In ‘‘The Gilded Lily,’’ a Robert Z. Leonard projuetion, she plays a similar role, but the picture is even more beautiful and elaborate, with a most appealing lot. Thomas Meighan’s biggest picture, ‘‘The City of Silent Men,’’ with even more heart appeal and punch than ‘‘The Prince Chap.’’ Many scenes were filmed in Sing Sing Prison. It is a real special of an unusual kind. Gloria Swanson, whose beauty and charm in Cecil B. De Mille’s ‘‘Male and Female,’? ‘‘Why Change Your Wife?’’ and ‘‘Something to Think About’? made her a front-rank star, appears in her first starring vehiele, ‘‘The Great Moment,’’ written especially for her by Elinor Glyn, author of ‘‘Three Weeks.’’ The author worked throughout on the making of the picture. It’s a romance of spectacular splendor in gowns and sets, and a lavish ove story. Milton Sills is leading man. Wallace Reid in ‘‘The Love Special’’ is another record-breaker. It has the thrills of ‘‘What’s Your Hurry?’’ and he comedy of ‘‘Always Audacious’’ melted into one thrilling romance. Agnes Ayres, Theodore Roberts and “larenece Burton, all of whom were in ‘‘Forbidden Fruit’’ are in the cast. William A. Brady’s production ‘‘Life’’ by Thompson Buchanan, was acclaimed the biggest dramatic spectacle aver staged when it ran for a year in New York. So you ean imagine how big it will be on the sereen, when all the thrills will be reaL Rod La Roque, Arline Pretty, Effingham Pinto, Geoffrey Stein and Nita Naldi head -he big cast. Elsie Ferguson in ‘‘Sacred and Profane Love’’ in which she seored on the stage last year, marks the highest yoint in the star’s career. Arnold Bennett's story makes a marvelous emotional drama. William D. Taylor, who nade ‘‘Hueckleberry Finn’’ produced it. Conrad Nagel is leading man. Another Taylor production is ‘‘The Witching Hour,’’ the great play by Augustus Thomas.

And it was direeted by Frank Borzage, who made ‘‘Humoresque.’’? Doris Kenyon, Sam Hardy, Norman Kerry and Jiana Allen play the leads, ther Cosmopolitan productions are ‘‘Proxies,’’ one of the cleverest and most entertaining tales ever spun. Norman Kerry and Zeena Keefe head the cast. Then there is ‘*Redemption Cove,’’ filmed in the Bahama Islands oy Robert Vignola, Lillian Walker, Seena Owen and E. K. Lincoln are in the east. ‘*The Wild Goose’’ is another ‘osmopolitan. The story is by Gouverneur Morris and Mary MacLaren, sister of Katherme MacDonald, Norman <erry, Holmes Herbert and Dorothy Bernard play the leading parts. Chomas H. Ince’s two specials ‘‘Beau Revel’? and ‘‘The Bronze Bell’* are greater money-makers than his great‘st productions of Jast year, such as ‘‘ Behind the Door’’ and ‘‘ Below the Surface.’’ > Roscoe ‘‘Fatty’’ Arbuckle has a great cast in support of his ‘‘Crazy to Marry.’’ It is Fatty’s biggest and fun aiest since ‘‘The Life of the Party’’ and ‘‘Brewster’s Millions.’’ Che great productions made in the London studios include Edward Knoblock’s ‘‘Appearances’’ and Cosmo Ham‘Iton’s ‘‘The Princess of New York,’’ both produced by Donald Crisp, famous actor and director; Hugh Ford’s “The Call of Youth’’ and ‘‘The Great Day’’; and David Powell in E.
