Holbrook Blinn Opens the Week
. . ‘e
in Great Drama Entitled ““The
Unpardonable Sin.”
Holbrook Blinn's work in ‘““The Un
pardonable Sin,” a World Film produc
tion, which will be seen on Monday at
the Alamo No. 2, surpasses anything he
has done since becoming a screen star.
This shadow dramagtells a story of a
man’s downfall through weakness; his
rise through the influence of vengeance
and his ultimate triumph through a love
thas knows no mastery.
Blinn has the role o{ Walter Norman,
who is brought face to face with the
electric chair through drink. In “The
Unga.rdonable 8in”" the star is support
ed by Helen Fulton, Lila Heywood Ches
ter, = William A. Norton, Charles A.
Mackay and Walter Greene.
“The Wall Between,” a Metro pro
duction in five parts, featuring Francis
X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne, will be
shown on Tuesday.
The Metro fllm deals with an inter—
esting phase of life in the United States
army. Scores of battle scenes are
shown, in which as many as 2,000 men
appear. Most of the scenes were made
in and around the forts at Savannah.
The barrier that exists between the
commissioned officer and the enlisted
men is the theme of ““The Wall Be
tween.” The dashing Bushman will be
seen as Sergeant Kendall, a truly ro
mantic role. Beverly Bayne says the
part of Edith Ferris is the most inter
esting she has yet essayed.
Thursday's offering is ‘“Man and His
Angel,” in which Jane _Grey is fea
tured. This fllm depicts in flve reels
the vietory of the “angel” in man’s na
ture over his evil Im{mlsea. which lead
him to threaten the life's hap(elness of
the woman he loves. Miss Grey ap
pears as Sonia Demetri, the daughter
of an exiled Russian nobleman, who
comes to this country in poverty and
opens a little second-hand book store.
Sonla is the “angel” in the picture,
while David Tryne, played by Henri
Bergman, i{s the “man.”
The famous beauty, Kitty Gordon,
will be seen on Friday in “As in a Look
ing Glass,” which is a favorite release
of the World Film Corfiwmtinn‘

Lavish With Flowers
At Trade Exposition
From the attragctlve booth of the
Scenic Film Company, at the Motion
Picture Trades Exposition at the Augi
torium, last week, over two thousand
carnations were distributed to the ladies
who visited the building.
This booth was, by the way, one of
the most attractive there. It was dec
orated with ferns, and other green pot
ted plants and a number of vases of cut
flowers, A beautiful statuette of white
Italian marble and a number of artistic
sketches by the Scenic Film Company’s
experts helped to make this one of the
most attractive gathering places for the
fair and inquisitive visitors.
LA Burdgtte, vice president and
sales manager of the company, acted as
host with his characteristic grace, wel
coming all comers with his cordial and
winning manner, nnswerini gallantly
the many questions put to him by as
piring film actresses.
Mr. Burdette distributed the, carna
tions with a lavish hand and won many
a smile for his palns in pinning on the
dainty floral ornaments.
80 many carnations were presented
during the three days of the exhibit
that Peachtree street blossomed with
| them and strangers in town began ask
ing whether they were in token of some
local festivity.
“It's wonderful how the ladies appre
clate flowers,”” said Mr. Burdette. “If
?'ou want to win a man quickly, give
him a cigar. But, take rhy advice, if
‘You want to make a hit with a young
ad{. the skillful use of flowers will
-make a better impression than anything
i I know of.”
