The story is from E. Phillips Phil-lips Oppenheim's novel, "The Court of St. Simon," and was adapted for the screen by Leonce Perret, the director brought from France by Harry Rapf to produce the Warwick photoplays. "The Silent Master" is a fascinating story of adventure which embraces the underworld of Paris life in the gay cafes of the French capital, and the New York. The Marquis de Som-breuil, Som-breuil, a man of great wealth, forms I an alliance with the Apaches of Paris for the benevolent purpose of cham-1 pioning the poor and oppressed. Un-I der the name of Valentin Simon he presides over a mysterious Court of St. Simon, as it is known, where men who prey upon the weak in ways that the law cannot reach, are punished se-J verely. Valentin meets a young American, Eugene Arlen, who pretends to be bored by the gaieties of Paris, and' in a moment of caprice takes him to thf Hniirf nf St Rimnn "P.n rrn e'c Inr)- ed nerves are awakened, and he becomes be-comes a member of the desperate, criminal class, but lacks the courage to play his part.

Virginia Virgi-nia has heard of her brother's downfall down-fall through the mysterious Mr. Simon, Sim-on, but Valentin, fearing to lose her lovo, denies ever having heard of the young man or Simon. Eventually, after Valentin and Virginia Vir-ginia are married, the wife persuades her husband to go with her to Paris to try to find her brother and rescue him. Valentin again deliberately deceives de-ceives his wife, but finally she discovers discov-ers that he is Mr. Simon, and leaves him. Valentin, who has been doing his utmost continually to reclaim Eugene, Eu-gene, now devotes his life to sheltering shelter-ing the youth from the vengeance of his criminal associates. The adventures through which Valentin Val-entin passes, and tho manner in which the romance works out to tho satisfaction satisfac-tion of everyone concerned, combine to provide one of the most fascinating fascinat-ing stories of the screen. Numerous remarkable settings were created for the production, including one showing a complete panorama of Paris. Among the players supporting Mr. Warwick, are Miss Olive Tell regarded by many as the most beautiful actress on the American stage; Miss Anna Little, a loading woman in many picturo successes; suc-cesses; Henri Valbel, from the Com-edie Com-edie Farncaise and L'Odeon; Donald Galaher, a popular American juvenile ! actor: Georce Clarke and Valentino Petit. From this It would appear that the first American production directed by Mr. Perret should be a notable addition addi-tion to his list of 308 successes in ' France.

Mr. Russell, more fully than any other star of the motlo npicture firmament, fir-mament, comprehends the value of the "stunt," and in the new play soon to be released, he displays the remarkable remark-able athletic and acrobatic ability for f which, in connection with irrftnrnarh- L able artistry, he has become famed among picture fans. Director Edward Sloman has no trouble in getting difficult feats put over for the screen when William Russell Rus-sell is on tho job. The star's constant demand is for "something new in action." ac-tion." -The two got their heads together to-gether over "The Frameup" and as a result this is probably the most sensational sen-sational action play of recent screen development. Russell's back somersault somer-sault out of a speeding automobile to escape from the police, and his thrilling thrill-ing leap from the tonneau of one fast traveling machine to the tonneau of) another, are examples of the chances he takes of physical injury in "The Frameup." There is everything that should appeal ap-peal to an audience in this play. It has a corking good story sequentially and logically told, it is full of the quickest kind of action and photographically photo-graphically it has every element of perfection. Tho story a love episode of exceptional excep-tional strength is" well told, and "Bill" Russell handles love themes with consummate skill. Francelia Bill-ington, Bill-ington, who plays opposite Mr. Russell, Rus-sell, and is one of the best known leading women of the screen, provides a fascinating foil for the spectacular heroics of the star.
