HARaVEmiTB CLARK RETURNS UNDER FAMOUS Pi:.AYERS BANNER IN "GRETNA GREEN." The next, subject In which the I'>imou?i Players Film Co. will present -Marguerite Clark, the dainty and magnetic little star of the previous Famous Players releases, "AVlld- flower" and - '^he Crucible," will be the diarmlng comedy drama,"Orctna Green," by Oiace Livingston Fnrnlas, now In the couria of production.. The play' possesses all tbe essential ele- ments valuable to the. successful screen drama—love, sacrifice, humor, myJttery and thrill—and Is of the. picturesque period of the early nineteenth century, when romantic elopements to Qretna Green, a lovers' baven in tbe North of England, added a dash of excitement to many true love matches, and when hearts reigned over tbe marts of com- merce Just before the prose of business usurped tbe poetry of romance In old Gng- land. Mlas :Clark will portray the character of Dolly-Ersklne, a little English telle and a bit oi<. a flirt, but loyal to her friends and brave of heart. She queens It over Harrow- J;ate'B beaux with sovereign sway, untill sho OSes her heart to handsome Richard Mur- ray, her riding master. She Is loo proud to confess her attectlon for Mm, even to herself, but nevertheless often favors lilm above others with her society. Richard Ims lost hrh head and lioart, too, and has determined to win the wilful Dolly. Through this period of the story the au- dience wUl know that Murray Is In reality the Earl of Dassctt, who, woary of the fuwn- In' hypocrisy of society. Is living Incognita In Harrowgate and hugely enjoying his first experiences as a laboring man. A friend whom Murray nccidentallT meets Is about to reveal tain identity, but Itirnard dissuades blm from this course, as he has resolved to win Dolly's love in the guise of a riding master.- He ■wagers with his friend that he will gain hie neart.'s desire, and Dolly, nccldenlally overheaning hl.s cnntident boost, thinks him a cad. Uowevur, -to save n frivolous married sister's reputation, she asks his aid, and they arrive to Gretna Green to prevent a disgraceful elopement. ' Iiow Dolly's reputation is thereby placed In Jeopardy, how unaworc of the full import of what she Is saying, she makes a stntomcnt, which, according to tho Scotch law, makes lier Richard's wife, and until she can secure A divorce is forced to acknowledge Richard as her husband In tbe eyes of the world. The many complications that follow thin Im- prnmptu marriage, the delightful comedy 'of Dolly's final capitulation of tho liURbnnd she Iiretends to detcsti but re<illy adores, an'l a.^ly, the actual arrest of Richard for his own murder before the mystery '>f his iliinl Identity is finally cleared, arc thrllllngly un- folded In this fascinating pliotoploy.
