As the little disturber, Miss Dorothy Gish, is said to be superb, while Lillian Gish, aa the heroins, has excelled her previous triumphs. "Her really fine and natural acting," states a New York critic, "entitles her to rank with the very best actresses .the screen has produced."

MONTAGUE LOVE IN "TO HIM THAT HATH." The World feature "To Him That Hath," screening to-night and at both sessions to-morrow at Everybody's, gives Montagu Love one of ,thc best opportunities for the display of his talent# that he has ever had, and, needless to say, he makes the very best possible use of these opportunities. In order to shield a friend he assumes the gunt for a robbery which the friend had committed, and is sent to prison. The girl he ts in love with wavers in lier affection, but it is not until he has been released, and is apparently teaching a young boy to follow a life of crime that her love for him finally vanishes. She, however, had formed quite a wrong decision, 6ince in reality lie was leadiug the boy Into a life of honesty. The tribulations which he endures, and the hard uphill fight which faces him as a result of the prison stain, give ample opportunity for dramatic situations of compelling interest, and the story grips from firs.t to last,,.. The ending is a happy one, and the love theme throughout is convincing. The, part suits the strong personality of Montagu Love to perfection, and forms another triumph for this popular tateu actor.
