She first plays the part of a dashing, prankish, mischievous young girl in the latter stages of a boarding school career. Innocent, yet wi-h an unusual capacity for getting into all. soils of harmless difficulties with the school authorities, Dorothy Forbes (Mae Marsh) goes skimming happily through school life. Graduation comes, and this daughter of a wealthy London bmerchant returns home to take up her duties as mistress of her father’s home. He very frankly prefers his club to the quietness of domestic life, and the daughter soon resents his neglect and her own loneliness. SATURDAY NIGHT. . “ A WOMAN OF STONE.” Frank Stay ton, the well-known novelist, is responsible for the story of “The Passionate Adventure” picture title “The Woman of Stone,” which is the principal attraction, for to-morrow night. The plot is woven round the sincere and passionate love of Adrian St. Clair for his beautiful but cold and unresponsive wife, Drusilla, and the scenes are laid principally amid high society and slums of London.

Alice Joyce, Marjorie Daw, and Clive Brook have the.principal roles.. <
