having young Winston, her “laddie,”
forbidden to come to see her at her

enough money to take her to America,
where she has an uncle, owner of a
large lumber camp. When she at last
reaches this camp she receives a poor
welcome, as her uncle does not want to
be “bothered” with “womenfolk" in
the camp.
However, she wins a place for her
self in the hearts of all in the camp.
One day, while out fishing, she discov

is only saved by the opportune arrival

About this time Winston, the “lad

long search for her, for he has steadily
refused to believe the tales of the
stepmother. The uncle mistrusts Wil

Players Production Starring Miss
Valentine Grant.
The stormy career of “The Daughter
of MacGregor," a Paramount Picture,
so well portrayed by Valentine Grant,
leads her a wild chase, from the Cana
dian border to the wilds of Florida.
The scenes which were made in Can
ada were those portions of he picture
which occur in Scotland. Mr. Olcott,
the director, who also directed Mary
Piekford in “Poor Little Pepplna,’’
found a real Scotch settlement near the
Canadian border.
The part of the picture which occurs
in a lumber camp was takeu in Flor
ida, in the middle of the hottest spell
which the country has experienced for
several years.

Takes Famous Players Star to
Canadian Border and Back,
A little cottage in Scotland, a corner
in a stuffy circus tent, a crowded
ocean liner, an American lumber camp
and back to the thatched roof cottage
in Scotland. These are the steps that
“The Daughter of MacGregor,” a
Paramount Picture, takes in working
out the story of her life. Valentine
Grant ably portrays this delightfully
human young Scotch girl in the latest
Famous Players production on the
Paramount program.
SOME DOUBLE EXPOSURES.
New Famous Players Production a Tri
umph of Difficult Photography.
Perhaps the most difficult task which
a director can ask of his star Is that
she play in a production demanding
the use of the double exposure; that Is,
that she play two roles In the same
picture. This Is the task faced by the
beautiful and talented Pauline Fred
erick in the latest Famous Players
production, “Ashes of Embers,” a
Paramount Picture, in which she plays
two sisters.

One More Feat Added to Pauline Fred

This business of being versatile has
its drawbacks as Pauline Frederick
found out while playing the dual roles
in “Ashes of Embers,” a Paramount
Picture. At one time during rehear
sals she was expected to play the two
parts on the same spot. Anyone but
Miss Frederick would have protested or
at least have ridden back to the studio
for the necessary changes. Not so

"ASHES OF EMBERS,"
Pauline Frederick, the Screen’s Great
est Emotional Actress In New Dual
Role In Which She Scores Greatest
Success Since ‘‘The Spider.”
Pauline Frederick plays a dual role
in the Famous Players production of
“Ashes of Embers,” a Paramount Pic
ture. Her last dual role was in “The
Spider,” which was considered a re
markable piece of acting. Although
these double parts are the bane of ex
istence for most actresses, Miss Fred
erick never hesitates, but brings to
them the usual supreme intelligence
that characterizes all her work.
In this production Miss Frederick
takes the parts of two beautiful sis
ters, exactly opposed to each other in
character and disposition. One of
them, Agnes, is a clerk in a depart
ment store, while tiie other, Laura,
is just a butterfly sort of girl, thinking
of nothing but herself, her music les
sons and good times. She, of course,
has many admirers, among them a
young architect, named Leigh, and a
middle aged millionarire, Benedict.
In order to get money to dress to
attract Benedict, Laura steals some
money from her sister’s cash box at
the store, allowing her to be suspected
and imprisoned for the crime. In the
meantime, she has captivated the mil
lionaire and they are hastily married.
Her object accomplished, Laura be
gins to flirt desperately with her for
mer admirer, Leigh.
When her husband finds this out he
hires a lawyer to instigate divorce pro
ceedings. Marvin, the lawyer, falls
under Laura's charms like the rest and

plots with her to double cross her hus
band.
Leigh, meanwhile, has taken to drink
and calls continually for Laura. Agnes,
not knowing who “Laura” Is, cures
him by her devotion and he falls in
love with her. They are married and
very happy until at Newport, where
Leigh has a commission, Laura comes
again into their lives and tries by ev
ery wile she knows to regain Leigh s
affection. She is unsuccessful, how
ever, and Benedict, rendered mad by
his wife’s duplicity, shoots her, thus
leaving Leigh and Agnes alone In tneir
new-found happiness.
