Beginning today, the theatre is showing the Artcraft picture, "Rose of the World," starring Elsie Ferguson. The film is replete with tense dramatic situations, and is the first photoplay Miss Ferguson has appeared in which gives her an opportunity of displaying to the fullest extent her well-known ability to portray heavy emotional roles. Miss Ferguson is one of the few actresses blessed with great beauty as well as talent, and she makes an ideal screen star. She is supported by a strong cast, and the picture is a typical Artcraft offering, which means that no expense has been spared to make it attractive. In "Rose of the World," the Artcraft picture which opened at the Theatre yesterday, Elsie Ferguson plays an extremely heavy role, in which the mental tortures she undergoes cause her hair to turn white. The film has a happy ending, however, and Miss Ferguson finishes the picture in a smiling mood. Wyndham Standing, Elsie Ferguson's leading man in "Rose of the World," the Artcraft picture now at the theatre, plays a dual role. In the first part of the photoplay he is Capt. Harry English, who is reported killed in action. He returns in disguise, however, and as an East Indian seeks information regarding his wife's happiness. His rendition of the two roles is so well done that no one would suspect that the native is Capt. Harry until he throws off his disguise. \7
