* a * PRESS ‘iii STORIES gage ¥ 4 DISTINGUISHED STAR of Dorothy Dalton is a power in the field of the silent drama. She is a Thomas H. Ince-Paramount star of the first magnitude and every picture in which she appears is certain to be artistically satisfying in conception and treatment. This is especially the case insofar as “Green Eyes”’ is concerned, a photoplay in which Miss Dalton has a characterization that will live long in the memory of all who see it. The role of a noble, pure-minded and charming wife, who is the victim of her hus_ band’s insane jealousy, is radically different from the vigorous frontier dance hall women characterizations _ with which her name has been as sociated frequently in the last twelve months. It is a deeply _ subtle portrayal which evidences her remarkable versatility and which, doubtless, will add greatly to her reputation as one of the most | gifted of actresses. That her ad _ mirers will acclaim “Green Eyes” as one of her best photoplays, there can be little, if any, doubt. A FAMOUS DIRECTOR WILLIAM NEILL is one *of the best of film directors, and, under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince, he is turning out _ some of the finest photoplays ever produced under the Paramount banner. He directed all of the pictures in which Dorothy Dalton is the star, and his latest, “Green Eyes,” is said by experts to be one . of the very best pictures he has thus far created.

The theme of “Green Eyes,” her latest story, is handled with discretion, skill and high artistry. A SKILLED PHOTOGRAPHER F all the capable cameramen attached to the Thomas H. Ince forces, there is none whose _ skill exceeds that manifested in all the pictures photographed by John S. Stumar.

AD CUTS -and MATS PRD “Why Dorothy: Dalton’s “Green Eyes” is Notable Photoplay Eyes,” Mr. Stumar’s fine hand is observed in every ‘scene “shot” by him, the whole combining to form a production which, from the standpoint of photography, at least, is unsurpassed. A STRONG STORY HE story of “Green Eyes” deals with a man who marries a girl much younger than himself and who becomes insanely jealous of his pretty wife. They quarrel, with the result that the wife leaves him, but after a brief separation, she returns to her husband and a reconciliation follows. ‘But the husband soon becomes jealous of his younger brother, who has made the young wife his confidant. Subsequently,’ the younger brother thrashes a scoundrel who is thereafter strangled by a _ revengeful negro.,Stumbling over the body a few hours later, the young man rushes to his sister-in-law and while he is telling her the story of 7 his supposed crime, the husband appears and places the worst possible construction upon'the incident. To shield the boy, the wife tells her 13-15-17 husband that she has invited him to 18-19 her room, whereupon the husband attempts to slay himself. The wife averts a tragedy, and just as the young brother confesses the crime to save her honor, news comes that the murderer has confessed. The young brother is exonerated and the husband and wife reconciled. The numerous situations are dramatic and heart appealing.

Jack Holt, who plays the part'of the jealous husband, is a talented actor who has been seen in many fine Robert McKim, who is the chief trouble-maker in this story, is recognized as one of the finest ‘“heavies” in the silent drama. Doris Lee, a splendid actress, has a congenial role, while Emery Johnston and Clyde Benson will be seen in strong portrayals. PERTINENT REMARKS XHIBITORS will find “Green Eyes” a splendid vehicle for exploitation, because of its interest as a story, the popularity of its star, and the flavor of the great South. It can be played up as one of the finest photoplays in which Miss Dalton ever has been seen.
