Vidor Directed by Lambert Hillyer Adapted by Frances Marion and C. Gardner Sullivan from Edgar Selwyn's successful stage play ZT'LORENCE VIDOR, the perJ^ sonification of feminine charm, reaches the height of her dramatic career in the Thomas H. Ince Production "Barbara Frietchie" from the Clyde Fitch play and "The Mirage" from Edgar Selwyn's sensational drama. A Regal Production. Miss Vidor was never more beautiful nor more wholesomely alluring, and the power of her dramatic portrayals in these two impressive productions surpass everything else in her entire career. In the title role of "Barbara Frietchie" in the quaint settings of Civil War days she is a vision of fragrant loveliness, romance and heroism. The sincerity of her acting gives life and reality to the story, and even the great Julia Marlowe, aided by her marvelous voice, who played the part on the speaking stage, is equalled by the silent, dynamic portrayal of Miss Vidor. Mr. Ince could not have made a more fortunate choice of a star for this stirring historical romance than the selection of Florence Vidor. She is ideally suited to the part, and her popularity is worthy of the importance of the role. "The Mirage" signalizes another dramatic triumph for Miss Vidor. In this powerful drama she portrays the role of a woman re-born with a mastery of emotion unequalled in the silent dramatic art. The play itself is rated as one of the greatest of all modern dramas, ranking in power with "Paid in Full" and "The Easiest Way," and the artistry with which Miss Vidor has invested it on the screen is superb in realism and finesse.
