BESSIE LOVE IN~"THE
LITTLE BOSS” THURSDAY.
Bessie Love in the role of a little lum
berjack and boss in every sense of the
word of a real lumber camp set among
i the giant Redwoods of California, makes
most notable among the screen offerings
The Little. Boss.” the Bessie Love Pic
ture which will be seen at the Modjeska
Theatre on Thursday. She dresses like
a jack and rides logs and does other
‘stunts that only woodsmen do and all In
the true atmosphere of the big timber
.country,.
i ‘‘The Little Boss” was written by Rida
Johnshn Young and is a romance of fas
c.inatiop and much dramatic strength,
awl ft in action and with many comedy
reliefs furnished by the little Vitagrapn
star. She falls in love with a city chap
determines to win him. To that end
she goes to the city to get an education
and become a “modern female.” She
succeeds In losing her heart entirely, and
her fortune—almost, returning to camp
just in time to save both in a smashing
climax.
Pavid Smith directed the picture and
had his entire cbmpanv in the big tree
country ior_several weeks, obtaining
splendid scenes of a logging camp in full
operation.,
,'MARGARITA FIfcHFR- IN
“MISS TRIXIE FROM BROAD
WAY” FRIDAY.
Margarita Fisher as a chorus girl! Well
it had to happen some time and the star
is perfectly capable of playing the part
because she is endowed with a breeay
personality. She is piquant enough to
impersonate the chorus girl to the life
and when you see her in this bright and
bracing picture you will admit that she
has the ability to send you away in a
happy frame of mind, The management
doesn't think that Miss Fisher has ever
had a more congenial role than Trixie
Darling and you will agree with us when
you see her for yourself at the Mod
jeska Theater on Friday. A rich ranch
man comes out of the west to pay hom
age to her and carrying her away to his
boundless country. Of course, she be
comes disillusioned at the quietness of
the ranch and she gives more than one
thought to Broadway and how she would
like to be back there on the busy street.
But hubby has his way again, although
it takes considerable time before she is
thoroughly tamed. Before she emerges
a meek and trusting bride. A number
of melodramatic situations are unfolded.
"Trixie From Broadway” is replete with
incident and there is a large measure of
wholesale fun which is also generated.

All the scorn and eor.iempt of a nohle

words. They had struck home. Yes, he
had been “white” once, but he had given
up his birthright, for he had boon wrong
ed. his reputation blasted and his name—
annonorable on© for generations—dishon
ored. And It was all a hideous injus

“I hate my white race, and nil connect

walked from the tent.
