The Village Movie 3 One of Our Girls Tuesday afternoon and evening, August 18th, we will have another treat for you. The Village Theatre will present the four-reel production of the famous international romance. "One of Our Girls," by Bronson How- ard. Daniel Frohman presents Hazel Dawn as the star in this -photoplay. this being the first motion picture ap- pearance of this enchanting little ac- tress. Everyone promptly falls in love with Hazel, and you really can- not afford to miss seeing the artistic little star who so recently achieved a great stage success in the title role of "The Pink Lady." In "One of Our Girls" Miss Dawn portrays the role of Kate Shipley, a plucky and quick-witted American girl who makes numerous sacrifices in behalf of her little French cousin, incidentally shocks her dignified rel- atives, but finally aids in uncovering and destroying the mysterious and evil influence at work, is made doubly happy by her sweetheart's faith through all her trying experiences, and at last becomes the wife of the gallant British officer. Ben ^iVilson as Life Saver While Ben Wilson was at Long Beach taking a scene for the Edison film, "While the Tide Was Rising," which will soon be shown at the Vil- lage Theatre, he performed an act of heroism which should entitle him to a Carnegie medal. Sally Crute, the leading lady, was plowing about in the surf in water up to her shoulders, waiting for the click of the camera, when a sudden under-current carried her out into deep water. Unable to swim, she screamed for help. Without even removing his coat, Wilson plunged in, and with power- ful overhand strokes reached the side of Miss Crute as she was going down for the third time. He hauled her to shore, and after willing hands had worked over her for half an hour, she was resuscitated and insisted upon continuing with her work in the film. Auntie—Johnny, do you know where little boys go who don't put their money on the collection plate? Johnny—Yes, ma'am—to the Mov- ing Picture show.—Motion Picture. War clouds in Europe have in- creased interest in the military film drama of "The Littlest Rebel," run- ning at the Studebaker. A great many of the scenes are built around battles in the Civil War and there are plenty of uniforms and patriotic enthusiasm. To be shown at the Village Theatre next Monday and Wednesday, after- noon and evening • George Barnard Shaw endorses the movies and may, as a next step, be expected to write scenarios for them. Gladys Hulette, the leading ingenue of the Edison Company, is still in her teens, but possesses the strength of a well-trained athlete. In the Edison comedy "The Stuff that Dreams Are Made Of," she overcomes a quartet of police and carries her unconscious sweetheart over her shoulders. Publisher—My dear young lady, what we need is not so much a story to amuse the tired business man as one that will cheer the woman who has the tired business man to con- tend with.—Life.
