story deals with a child of Parisian
streets, born to vice and by fate given
the oportunity to wield the influence
of her beauty over spineless victims.
Ernestine Her got was eventually the
most notorious adventuress in the gay
capital. No wonder Henrietta Villa
llandry objected to her father, the sen
ile old Count Ville Handry making this
wanton woman his wife But regard
less of this domestic combat, the vam

American patriot's entire ill-fated ca
reer. After seeing the picture "The
Heart Of A Hero," you w ill forever af
ter associate the name of Robert War

The Best Play She Ever Had
‘33 Washington Square’
veldt to the drawing room of fashion
able society.
The supporting cast of “The Plow
Girl,” is one of the most distingush
ed gathering of film favorities ever as
sembled in one photoplay, including as,
it does the popular Lasky players. El
liott Dexter, Theodore Roberts, Edy
the Chapman, Lillian Leighton, and
others.

Viola Dana, the charming Metro star,
will be seen at the Strand on Saturday
in an absorbing romance of the Shaker
sect, "The Gates of Eden."
The life of a Shaker community is
shown in "The Gates of Eden," and
contrasted with its perfect simplicity
are homes of wealth and distinctoin in
the city. The manners and customs of
the Shakers have been faithfully por
trayed and the picture is to some ex
tent educational as well as highly en
tertaining. Moreover, the religious be
liefs of tile Shakers form the very
backbone of the plot and provide the
unusual complications that go to make
up this supremely fascinating story.
The Shakers do not believe in mar
riage or in the perpetuation of the race.
Their idea is that men and women
should live together as brothers and
sisters, never as husband and wife.
The hardship that such a belief wreaks
on loving young hearts can well be
Imagined.
Also Mutt and Jeff.
