WHAT OUR CRITICS THOUGHT OF THEM [CONTINUED THOM PAGE 8.] marries beneath his station, and the father in a moment of bitter renunciation casts him adrift, whereupon his mother refuses to entertain any conversation with her husband unless he relents of his rebellious attitude toward the boy. Five years of uninterrupted silence takes place, the cankerous worn slowly but surely eating its way into their hearts through pride and an unwillingness to submit to humility, when a little sunbeam, in the shape of a tiny girl, playfully crosses their clouded path. Over the way, the little girl has beeil living with her mother, and each day the old couple are transported into brimming forgetfulness through their keen enjoyment with the little girl who runs over to play. Eventually the mother and child are taken into the house of silence, at which the heartache of the old man is ever present. Finally unable to bear the strain any longer, and in a state of desperation, he endeavors to locate his son. The effort proving successful, the son returns with forgiveness, and charity and filial devotion is once more paramount. The ‘ ‘ Little Mary ’ ’ of Marie Osborne was a delight to witness. Her buoyant vitality, whimsicality and unconscious childishness as she scampered and romped, bespeaks of histrionic ability far advanced for one of her years. She reminded us of having stepped from one Eugene Field’s childhood poems. The remainder of the cast have been wisely chosen and rendered capable assistance. The picture is a triumph in screen technique, produced clearly and excellently. The week of October 30 marks the tenth anniversary of Carl Laemrnle's entrance into the exchange field. On October 30, 1906, Carl Laemmle, then proprietor of the White Front Thea- tre at 909 Milwaukee avenue, Chicago, and of the Laemmle Theatre at 1233 South Halsted street, Chicago, issued his first programme of Laemmle re- leases and took the first steps in the incorporation of the Laemmle Film Service -which a year later had branches in Minneapolis, Omaha, Evansville, Memphis, Salt Lake City, Portland, Winnipeg, Montreal, and Des Moines. The first programme of Laemmle films was issued from the Laemmle Film Service offices in the Crilly building at Monroe and Dearborn street, Chicago, on November 1, 1906. That first Universal Pragramme list- ed two feature films, ‘‘Roosevelt in Africa,” and “The Crusaders; or Jeru- salem Delivered.” While the first programme had only two releases, Carl Laemrnle’s Universal programme for the week of October 30, 1916, con- tains thirty-three reels of film. To celebrate the tenth year of Laemmle programmes, the president of the Universal announces the fol- lowing releases for the week of October 30: First, the Universal serial, “Liberty,” featuring Marie Walcamp, Jack Holt, and Eddie Polo in the two-reel epi- sode, “For the Flag.” The week’s Red Feather five-reel drama is “The Isle of Life,” the story of which by Stephen French Whit- man, was scenarioized by Fred My- ton and produced by Burton George.
