Big pictures of established value Billie Rhodes Henrq B. Walthall Eight de luxe features will be produced by the National Film Corporation of America, this coming year, with Billie Rhodes, christened by T. L. Tally, of Los Angeles, "the screen's daintiest star." The initial picture has just been completed, "THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS," of which the Los Angeles"Examiner" said — Moti i picture histor will chronicle the debut of Billie Rhodes as a fullfledged film star at Tally's yesterday as a complete success, histrionically, pictorially and financially. There has been greater premieres in this city. perhaps ("The Birth of a Nation's" and "Hearts of the World's," for instance), but none more enthusiastic' from the audience's viewpoint, or more laudatory to a screen luminary. CHIEF NAGAPATE THE B I <3<5 £ ST H A M D S O M EST AMD CRUELEST LOOK1MG SAVAC3E WE HAVF. EVER MARTIN JOH WiO/V Henry B. Walthall, the undisputed premier dramatic artist of the screen, will appear in a series of eight special photoplays produced by the National Film Corporation of America. The first "AND A STILL SMALL VOICE," contains every element that made Walthall famous in such productions as "The Birth of A Nation" and D. W. Griffith's picture "The Great Love." No portrayal before or since has so endeared a player to the American public as Walthall's "little Colonel" in "The Birth of a Nation." The Cannibal pictures, photographed at the risk of life, according to Frederick James Smith, in the October issue of the Motion Picture Classic, have "ten times the grip of an average photoplay." S. L. Rothapfel, managing director of theRivoli andRialto Theatres in New York, says "The Johnson pictures will be welcomed by any intelligent exhibitor as a break in the terrible rut and routine of the so-called dramatic or comedy feature and besides will be a good tonic for any first-class theatre, and if properly exhibited will bring a big financial return." They are an extraordinary feature attraction. EXCLUSIVE CONTROL FOREIGN RIGHTS AR7AN * the APFStheROM ANCF ofTARZAN
