Elsie
Ferguson
in
"The Lie"
|
|
|
Aside from the
great popularity of Miss Ferguson, whose beauty and genius are universally
recognized, the attractiveness of "The Lie," as a
heart-appealing story of pristine quality, doubtless will be sufficient to
make this presentation an epoch at this theatre. The picture is
based upon the enormously successful play of the same name by Henry Arthur
Jones, which achieved an artistic triumph in New York some years ago.
The theme of the photoplay, one involving a
supreme sacrifice by a young woman to save the reputation of her erring
sister, and to preserve the honor of her family name, embraces all
those elements that make motion pictures of the better class, to which,
"The Lie" belongs, so popular. The subject is one that
appeals to the human emotions with irresistible force, and the lessons it
teaches cannot fail to have a beneficial influence.
