The most recent'vehic‘le for Pauline
Ferderick the noted character and
emotional actress. was decided upon
by the Paramount scenario depart-
ment as “Mrs. Dane's Defense," the
drama by the the Henry Arthur Jones
celebrated as one of England's fore.
most dramatists, and which was one of
the moat successful stage plays of its
time hailing created a veritable furore.
It was a striking “realistic“ problem
play and gave the public thrill after
thrill by its tense dramatic moments
and its remarkably clever drawing.
Margaret Anglin created the role of
Mrs. Dane in America and achieved a
memorable success. The play is one
abounding in situation that are poig-
nant in their intensity and the char-
acter of Mrs. Dane is one that suits
Pauline Ferderick‘s dramatic technique
to a marked degree. ‘
Hugh Ford directed the Paramount
adaptation of of “Mrs. Dane's Defense"
and has lavished upon it th'é utmost
care, and a most exquisite background
and his skill and attention to detail
have translated the play to the screen,
‘in a manner that leaves littleto be de-‘
sired. There have been 'very few
changes made in the process so that;
the production will have lost none of;
its value in the tranmuting process.

improvements made to the Knudsen

of education asked for a 810,000 ap-
