Never before In the history of George Klelne or the Edison Company has either Institution offered a line of attractions so strong or better calculated to prove profitable to manufacturer and exhibitor exhibi-tor alike. A glance at the January release program is sufficient evidence of the determination of tht newly organized or-ganized "K-E Service" to live within the time-tried reputations of both manufacturers. "Tho Devil's Prayer-Book," aside from its magnetic title is a production produc-tion of rare dramatic power and constructive con-structive genius.

On January 26th tho concluding production pro-duction of tho January program will be released. This is "The Innocence of Ruth," a fire-part drama, featuring two of tho most popular players in film, Viola Dana and Edward Earlo. Viola Dana, the charming star of "Tho Poor Little Rich Girl," and several big Edison features, Including the recently re-cently released "Children of Eve," was never seen to better advantage than in tho role of the gentle, demure, but quick-tempered Ruth 'Travers. "The Innocence of Ruth" is the story of an orphan girl, raised luxuriously by a young but wealthy friend of her deceased father. The dangers of the motherless girl are convincingly shown. The entire drama sparkles with tense moments, and from Its in-torcst-inclting start to its splendid climax, suggests the thought that no worthier role or one better suited to her peculiar temperament and capabilities, capa-bilities, could havo been given dainty Viola Dana, All four releases for tho month of January aro dramas of the pleasing kind, strong but not morbid, vivid and forceful but dependent In no way upon sex problems or sordid motives for their plots and incidental themes. |
