QPERA HOUSE .PICTURES. An intensely human story, done in the inimitable style graces the screen of the Opera Ilouse to-night. It is "The Marriage Clause," a Universal-Jewel production, and Miss Weber's lirst directorial eiTort since she returned to the screen as a director and a writer. It is an intimate glimplse into stage life. Billie Dove, as the ambitious girl who becomes a star^, gives what rnust ;be the greatest performance of her entire screen carcer. Francis X. Bushman is a revelation as the stage director who makes a star of the girl, tlirough his love for her and his own brilliance and knowledge of the drama. Although the picture is essentially a starring role for the girl, Bushman's dominant personality always demands and rcI cdtves rccognition.
