This tale is excellent material for adaptation since it carries a number of valuable ingredients. Many consider it the author's greatest work. A story of frenzied finance and romance, it established Mr. Wilson as a recognized figure in the fiction world. As a picture it may be said to be r equally as entertaining.

Ktrikaturen (Christlanla). d. a v rani thrift who A W6r6 directly associated with the production of "The Magnificent Brute," a Universal picture, can realize the difficulty under which the star, Frank Mayo, labored throughout the making of this picture. In the final scene of "Colorado," his previous Universal feature, Mayo ruptured the ligaments of his right leg. Those who saw that film will recall the scene in which the star rescued the girl, and then the man, from the subterranean depths of the flooded mine. It was a Herculean effort, especially as iMayo was compelled to- work in rushing water which reached to his neck. It was during the filming of this scene that the accident occurred, and Mayo was ill for a week. Those who attend the showing of "The Magnificent Brute" at the Princess theater tonight and Thursday and see the strenuous work performed most by Frank Mayo, including the realistic and stirring fight he has yet staged in any of his pictures, will appreciate the great fortitude displayed picby the star in the filming of thih ture. His disability is not noticeable to the spectator and not once does he show that he was practically lame during the first three weeks of the production. - Keep The Story !h Kii A strongly dramatic story., Mis "Every- thing For Sale," which opens at the Princess Friday and Saturday, would be an entertaining photoplay under y any circumstances. But with May as the star the production takes on added interest For without a doubt this rising young actress leads the field in sympathetic emotional portrayals of real heart interest. .She demonstrated this fact in "Sentimental Tommy" and again in "A Private Scandal," Realart's recent successful special production. The part of Helen Wainwright in "Everything For Sale," however, is much different from the shy Scotch heroine of "Sentimental Tommy" or the little French "Jeanne" of "A Private Scandal." In this play we have a strictly modern young lady just home from a finishing school; home and face to face with the modern doctrine that "Everything's For Sale" HUD IN THE LANGUAGE N. Univ. Ave. even love. It is the girl's battle with this idea and the establishment of a premise that love cannot be sold but must be given away, that furnishes ample excuse for an absorbing plot which has not only actual physical thrills but also some very Interesting psychological interpretation.
