MARGUERITE CLARK AS "THE PRETTY SISTER OF, JOSE!" TO-NIGHT.

The Famous Players Film Co. presents

the adorable little star, Marguerite Clark, in a five-part photo-adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett's picturesque romance of old Spain, and Maude Adams' former starring vehicle, "The Pretty Sister of Jose." The title role of this celebrated romance has been so devised as to exhibit to the fullest extent the many capabilities of the magnetic little star. It is that of a Spanish girl, full of life and buoyance, instinct with haughty Spanish pride and throbbing with the power of love, who comes for the ftot time to live amid the splendors and delights of Madrid. It is not necest sary to say that Miss Clark can portray this complex apd bewitching web of emotion as no one else on the screen. She is admirable in her scenes with Sarita,

dying for hopeless love of Sebastianno, and full of tenderness and awestruck horror. She is more admirable when she first confronts the matador, and with shoulders thrown back and head aloft glares scorn and defiance of his power. Miss Clark denotes a haughty demeanor towards the man she adores, while longing to yield to the impulses of her love. With her fascinating dark beauty and charming grace of form and motion, she is exceptionally adapted ta the role of the exquisite Spanish belle of a thousand moods and whims. The scenic environment of California, where the subject was produced, lends itself faithfully to the atmosphere of. the story, and its rapidly changing development, with its wealth of color and romance, has resulted in a thoroughly unusual and picturesque photoplay. Thia film, together with good supportin 5 films, will be screened to-night and tomorrow <Jily.
