ADVANCE PRESS STORIES To be Sent to the Newspapers Daily for One Week Prior to and During the Display of “Green Eyes”, a Paramount Picture. ATMOSPHERE OF I THE SOUTH CUNGS TO “GREEN EYES” Dorothy Dalton Seen as Suffering Wife in Strong Paramount Photoplay THE atmosphere of the South clings about the story of “Green Eyes” in which Dorothy Dalton will appear at the Theatre, next This Para mount offering is from the Ince studio and was written by Ella Stuart Carson. The title implies that jealousy is the mainspring of the action and, as a matter of fact, so it is. But there is much more — and withal, a tensity of situation and a dramatic climax that is rare even in these days of advanced motion pictures. Roughly, the story is of a man who marries a girl younger than himself and becomes insanely jealous of her. One quarrel ends in a separation and reconciliation and then the husband grows jealous of his own younger brother. Later, a scoundrel is thrashed by the same brother and afterward murdered by a revengeful negro. Believing himself the slayer the brother rushes to the room of his sister-in-law and gasps out the story. There he is found by his brother who puts the worst construction on the affair. To shield the youth, the wife says she invited him to her room. -A tragedy is averted when the brother confesses to the crime, but later the negro also makes a confession exonerating him. R. William Neill was the director. The photography has the usual Paramount excellence. The supporting cast is admirable. Jack Holt is the husband, Dorothy Dalton the wife, Emery Johnston the brother and Robert McKim the villain. Doris Lee -and. Clyde Benson have important roles. The picture may be recommended as a sterling drama of genuine strength with not a little depth of feeling and beauty of investiture. DOROTHY DALTON IS BEAUTIFUL IN NEW FILM “GREEN EYES” Charming Paramount Star Has Fine Role in Photoplay of the Southland REAL SOUTHERN CAMP MEETING IN “GREEN EYES” Nothing Left Undone by Producer to Make This Photoplay Realistic and Thrilling D EAUTIFUL is one of the most abused adjectives in the language but it can never be better employed than when describing Dorothy Dalton, the lovely Ince star whose Paramount picture, “Green Eyes,” will be the attraction at the Theatre next The South is used as a frame for the delectable star on this occasion and advance reports say th&t it is one of her best pictures. It was directed by R. William Neill and written by Ella Stuart Carson. Miss Dalton has a myriad of followers who declare she is not only the loveliest thing on the screen but that she can out-act most stars as well. And withal, she is the most delightfully naive of young persons, refusing to permit herself to be flattered into egotism. Dorothy Dalton made her biggest hit, perhaps, up to the time of her entrance into Paramount pictures, with “The Flame of the Yukon.” But since then she has advanced steadily with such splendid pictures as “The Mating of Marcella,” “The Kaiser’s Shadow,” “Love Me,” “Tyrant Fear,” etc. Thomas H. Ince personally supervises her productions which is an earnest of their quality. Notable Production r\OROTHY DALTON’S Aew Paramount photoplay, produced by Thomas H. Ince, is a notable production from every standpoint.' The theme is jealousy which nearly wrecks the lives of a man and woman, and it is played by fine players who appear in Miss Dalton’s support. It will be shown at the Theatre next with fine accessories. A REAL southern camp meeting is filmed in “Green Eyes,” the new Paramount picture starring Dorothy Dalton, which will be shown at the Theatre on Thomas H. Ince produced the picture and with his usual determination to leave nothing undone that would render the film more convincing, he engaged nearly one thousand colored men and women and took them to a small town near Los Angeles, where, in a shaded grove, a regular old-fashioned gathering of this character was put on. The affair developed into literally the real thing. It was genuine “atmosphere” and proved highly effective. Miss Dalton is supported by Jack Holt and a fine cast in this picture, which has to do with the jealousy of a man who has a .young and lovely wife who is innocent of any wrong, but whom he suspects constantly. And from this develops a tragedy and only by chance is a still greater one averted. But the story is not morbid, on the contrary, being filled with bright comedy and colorful moments, and with the atmosphere of the South. A Strong Photoplay THE story of “Green Eyes,” the new Pararount photoplay in which beautiful Dorothy Dalton will be seen at the Theatre next is one of excep tional beauty and strength and affords Miss Dalton many opportunities for the display of her versatile talents. She is finely supported by a capable staff of screen players, chief among whom is Jack Holt. 13
