"JEALOUSY"—OR "THE GREEN SWAMP."
A story of matrimonial .misunderstanding brought- about by "the greeneyed monster" jealousy, is the latest Triangle play to head the bill at His Majesty's Theatre this evening. Beautiful Bessie Barriscalo, whose acting in "The Golden Claw" and "Bullets and Brown Eyes," has made her such a favourite with picture lovers, is the woman who haa a passion for suspecting . her husband, and who thereby nearly brings herself life-long misery. During an interval in the production of "Tho Green Swamp" Miss Barriscalo said to an interviewer: "I am getting more and more concerned about the story that is to bo told and tho story's message. As far as I am concerned, I want my plays f to say something to men and women, I want them to count as an influence in other lives. To me there is a great responsibility in the making of a photo-play. The good picture reaches an audience of millions. It ought .'to carry a great message of thought and helpfulness when it does that. When I was creating the woman in 'The Green Swamp' I never forgot that jealousy was something vicious, even when it was naturnir The public has had enough of young love, dressing up and curlyeurls, and now demands tho story with tho punch and the actor who can deliver it."
