Show I: STUB BLANCHE SWEET I II "UfiTECTED" 1 Blanche Sweet, the Lasky star, will lie seen at the Alhauibra Sunday cve- I ning, in addition to the stock produc- , tion, in "Unprotected," a thrilling I drama of the southern prison camps, written especially for her by James Hatton. There is no other artist on the pho- to dramatic screen who has the versa- i tility and is able to run the gamut of characters as ably as does Miss Sweet She has, in her excellent manner, de-, de-, picted characters of all nationalities 1 and in all walks of life. She has been seen as a child of the slums and as a princess, as a Swedish maid-of-all-work in a college boarding house and as a Montenegrin peasant. In "Unprotected" "Un-protected" she portrays the most striking and unusual character of her entire career that of a beautiful , young artist, leased with other con- j Yict laborers and sentenced to work in j a turpentine camp. As an orphan girl she goes to live with her irascible uncle who refuses to permit her to indulge in her artistic artis-tic inclinations. An accident befalls ' tho old man in which he is killed and she is sentenced to ten years in prison, pris-on, and leased out to a private firm to work with the riff-raff of the state in one of the huge turpentine camps. How, as a young artist, she meets tho son of the governor now he falls in love with her and although she is convicted under a different name, finds her just as she is about to fall into tho clutches of the owner of the camp how the convicts rebel against the treatment and how they are finally fi-nally saved from worse than death by her pleas for them to tho governor, makes a story absolutely unique in motion picture annals. |
