“Silks and Satins,” in which!
the adorable Marguerite Clark is'
starred by the Famous Players’
Film Company, is a true and ten
der reflection of every youthful
dream that was ever dreamed.
This delightful photo-play pre
sents a romance that begins with
the present, goes back to mediae
val times and returns to modern
ity for its climax. The plot is re
vealed by a very unique method
of photo-play construction. Fe
licite, the charming herol 2 por
trayed by Marguerite Clarß; ands
on the day she is to be married to!
the man she does not love, the di
ary of an ancestress whose exper
iences strangely paralieled hers.
In this musty little volume there
is inscribed a story, of thrills,
heart-aches, love battles and
deeds of glory, which are enact
ed in Felicite’s mind—and upon
the screen—and which suggest
the solution to her own romantic
problem. “Silks and Satins” is
one of the sweetest and most
charming photo-play romances
yet produced on the Paramount
Program by the Famous Player
Film Company.—At the Grand
