<TrM0T|0,mcTUR[ Int'l I MAEAZII.L I" A cross the SilversKeet (Continued from pac/c 88) has undertaken a dual role, calls for double exposure, and in this instance we wish to special credit to Charles Kosher, the cameraman. We have seen double exposure and double exposure, but never anything so perfectly timed as several scenes in "Little Lord Fauntlcroy." In one scene in particular, we sec Dearest handing the Little Lord a photograph. Frances Marion, the famous scenario writer, is entrusted with a role in the production, and there are several favored players in the cast, which includes Joseph J. Dowling, Colin Kenny, Kate Price and Emmett King, besides many others. .Any production which boasts Mary Pickford is sure to be worthy — imagine, then, "Little Lord Fauntlcroy" with a dual Mary. MORAL FIBER — V1TAGRAPH It is a good thing, in view of the shortage of good story material, that the silversheet has many attractive stars. Because of Corinne Griffith, "Moral Fiber" is pleasant entertainment. You know almost from the first episode of the story just what will happen, but with it happening to Corinne Griffith, wh.'lc Catherine Calvert adorns many scenes with her charming presence, it is a different 'story. In the beginning of the story, Miss Griffith portrays a child, and be it said right here that she does it capably. She has captured the elusive spirit of childhood and made it her own in several instances. Later, she goes to the city, wins success, and then she immediately proceeds to live up to the reputation she has won of being one of the best dressed women on the screen. There are many emotional scenes, but very little can be said for the strength of the story. Miss Calvert is not happily cast in this production, but she has not let that interfere with her offering her best, and she has great charm. Toe King and Harry C. Brown are the important male members of the cast, as is William Parks, jr., and they all offer adequate characterizations. If, by any chance, you are not attracted by the title, do not let that influence you. for it has nothing whatever to do with the production, unless its relation is so very" subtle that we failed to recognize it. Another thing — a title which is spoken by a successful novelist reads something like this : "I got my novel done, so I came down." Someday producers will realize the necessity for care in title writing. SERENADE — FIRST NATIONAL "Serenade," the Raoul Walsh producti' is something of a family affair, for} Raoul Walsh, alias Miriam Cooper, if lady fair, while George Walsh, the at' brother, is the dashing hero.
