2 The Village Movie Special Features at the Village Theatre Ethel Barrymore in "The Nightingale" Monday, January 4th The incomparable Ethel Barrymore makes her initial feature-film appearance in this strong human interest photoplay, "The Nightingale." It is an appealing story of the rise of a phenomenal voice from the obscurity to the pinnacle of operatic success, and is indeed a most, appropriate vehicle for the noted star's introduction to filmdom. Miss Barrymore renders a perfect portrayal of the organ grinder's beautiful daughter, Isola, who sings to his street piano's accompaniment. Her worthless brother, Andrea, is a member of the notorious "Red Galvin Gang'" and is a great burden to her and her father, until success paves her way to Paris and the operatic stage, and later brings her to New York as a great star in the Metro Opera Company Charles Marden. who had been her unknown benefactor, finally succeeds in winning her love, and in spite of his fathers' protests they are happily married. But after the coming of a son into the home the Grandfather relents and forgives. Then the worthless brother casts a shadow over the happy home, the home is broken up until misunderstanding is wiped away, and love returns to build for future happiness. The photoplay is an Ethel Barrymore success. That is the biggest recommendation we can give it. She is supported by a brilliant cast, and the details and photography have been perfected accordingly. Hobart Bosworth in "The Country Mouse" Tuesday, January 5th, Matinee and Evening "The Country Mouse" is probably the best motion picture in which Hobart Bosworth has yet appeared. Adele Farrington also deserves a great deal of praise for her splendid work in this picture, and her characterization of Addie Balderson, "the country mouse," the plain little wife who "can only cook," is exceptionally good. In the little country town. Billy Balderson is a great favorite, and the townspeople finally recognize his oratorical eloquence and nominate Billy for the legislature. Billy's plain little wife, Addie, is overcome with pride, and the most exciting- days of her hard-working-colorless life culminate in Billy's election and their removal to the State Capitol. Billy makes rapid strides in the city, but the poor little country mouse feels more awkward and more miserable than ever before. Then comes the great transformation. After the Marshalls have taken them up, Mrs. Marshall monopolizes Billy's time, and the women of the political circle called Addie a 'poor little frump with no spirit," the unhappy Addie wakes up and stirs herself to surprise them all. Her efforts are rewarded with surprising- success. she finds herself a wonderfully charming- and brilliant woman, but she does not bring- her husband to his senses until after he has passed through the stage of jealousy. The story is cleverly turned to a comedy finish, and the play closes happily with Addie endeavoring to teach her husband the tango. The story is well laid, teems with human interest throughout, and affords a particularly delightful photoplay. Mr. Bosworth is at his best and receives splendid support from a superb company. It is indeed one of the very best Paramounts, and you cannot afford to miss it. Digby Bell in "The Education of Mr. Pipp" Wednesday, January 6th The renowned comedian, Digby Bell, makes his first celluloid appearance before us in this American comedy taken from Charles Dana Gibson's famous pen and ink story of that name. "The Education of Mr. Pipp" is a comedy-drama written around a Pittsburgh family whose members endeavor to break into society through their father's millions. They move to New York, and the "breaking-in" begins. The mother engages a bogus French nobleman to teach herself and daughters the French language. The love affairs of the daughters, the trip abroad, the raising of a $75.00 check to $75,000.00 by the bogus French teacher, various mistaken identities, the efforts of the Pinkerton detectives—all provide intensely interesting- situations. The Pinkertons finally expose the work of the crooks. Mrs. Pipp realizes her mistake and begs her husband to take her back to Pittsburgh, and the love affairs of the young people are successfully carried out and end in happy marriages. The photoplay has been produced under the most careful supervision and directorship, the company presents very creditable characterizations, and the result obtained provide a hugely amusing and interesting spectacle for motion picture admirers.
