BRITANNIA

“THE WHITE BLACK SHEEP” “The White Black Sheep,” Richard Barthelmess’s latest Inspiration starring feature, now being shown at the Britannia Theatre, is a sftory of a boy who, disgraced and wrongly accused, joins the British army in the Near East and there

proves his true worth and incidentally wins a great love. Richard Barth elmess enacts the role of Robert Kincairn, scion of .a long line of British soldiers, and Patsy Ruth Miller portrays the role of Zelie, the Greek dancing girl, with whom he falls in

love in a picturesaue cafe in Palestii

esque cafe in Palestine. Constance Howard has the unsympathetic role of the girl who betrays him and thus sends him to a distant land. Sidney Olcott directed the film—his third Barthelmess feature, the others being "Ranson’s Folly” and "The Amateur Gentleman.” The cast is of all-star calibre numbering such brilliant artists as Gino Corrado, Erville Alderson, Albert Frisco, Templar Saxe, Col. G. L. McDonell, Sam Appel and others of equal note. The camera work was under the guidance of David W. Gobbett, who was responsible for the beautiful effects in ‘‘The Amateur Gentleman.”
