“A WOMAN'S WOMAN.” 5.1510 .MOT 1110 It LOVE AS PICTURE THEME. .Mary Alden thinks producers are more and more appreciating this type of photoplay. More and. more are picture producers beginning to appreciate the power of mother love and sacrifice as a theme for the photoplay, says .Miss Marv Alilon, who stands at the very forefront of film stars portraying that type of character, and who will he seen here next Monday at the Princess Theatre in “A Woman’s Woman,” an Allied Producers and Distributors Corporation release. And again Miss Alden plays the mother role and again she makes of her characterisation an actual personality. Miss Alden makes this point by way of argument that producers should select their screen players for their genuine ability to present a proper pantomimic! characterization rather than because oi their physical types. ‘‘Most producers seem to think that young love is the most important emotion in the world, and that the public in general is interested in spending its money, to sec a girl of eighteen and a boy of twenty-one or twenty-two go through the pseudo-trag-edies of puppy love. “After five 01 six of these happen to a star beautifully equipped physically—the ‘type, not the actress—the public is about through going to see her, and she will he dead as an attraction until alter real hard work and real study of "hat dramatics mean she comes hack with a real holiest, sure-enough ambition to act. “By this time, doubtless, she is no longer a type. She is an actress, ! feel sure that all of us can recall girls who had to perish as types before they i mild begin to live as genuine actresses.” The supports include the latest in Topical* and a. two-reel comedy. The orchestra will play the incidental music. Prices are as usual.
