Young Men Have
Ruled the World
At fifteen, Alexander Hamilton com
manded the attention of his country.
At nineteen, George Washington was
a Major. At twenty-iour, Bismarck was
Captain of King’s Cavalry. At twenty
six, Mark Antony was the hero of Rome.
At twenty-eight, Napoleon had revolu
tionized Europe.
So throughout history “young blood” has
ruled, just as young hands have caught
and are holding the style reins|of the
world today.
And the young man’s creed is expression
instead of repression, and our creed is to
give him clothes that express his buoy
ancy and confidence.

MARGUERITE CLARK
AT THE EMPRESS
In the title role of “The Pretty
Sister of Jose,” Frances Hodgson Bur
nett’s charming romance of old Spain
and Maude Adams’ former starring
vehicle, the dainty star, Marguerite
Clark, attains one of her greatest
screen triumphs. The role is one in
which every resource and power of
the magnetic little lady is brought
into effective play and she takes the
fullest advantage of her many emo
tional opportunities. As the tiny, ex
quisite Spanish girl of a thousand
moods and whims, who has vowed
never to lose her heart, but who, when
finally conquered by the handsome
Sebastiano, loves truly and devotedly,
Miss Clark is utterly incomparable,
and denotes exceedingly well the
struggle in the girl’s heart to main
tain a haughty demeanor toward the
man she had learned to adore, while
longing to yield to thetlmpulses of
her love. With her fascinating dark
beauty and charming grace of form
| and motion, Miss Clark is exception
ally adapted to the role of the dainty
little dark-eyed belle of Madrid. The
scenic environment of California,
where the subject was produced, J
lends itself faithfully to the atmos
phere of the story and its rapidly
changing development with its wealth
of color and romance has resulted In
a thoroughly unusual and picturesque
photoplay.
