Fullors' Pictures. On Thursday the big Griffiths-Tri-angle master play, ''The Lamb," commenced a short season at the Star, and It will head the bill up to and including Saturday. David .Griffiths, the daddy of all picture producers, has put more vim, punch, snap and action m this 6000 ft. drama than one would believe possible. The speed of the story with Us hundreds of people and hundreds of horses and spoctucular scenes galore approaches the breathless. ''The Lamb" Is portrayed by Douglas Fairbanks, the new cinema star. He Is a proven coward, and tho story shows how he discovered his manhood and turned hero. Playing opposite \b dainty Seena Owens, another discovery, and when you see the scene whoro "The Lamb." assisted by th,e pretty Scena, makes a stolen qulaki firing gun spit death at a bowling mob, j you experience a real quickening of the pulses. Verily, "The Lamb" is some picture. On Monday, tho now bi-weekly programme will happen with a Famous Players' drama m prido of place. "The Morals of Marcus" is the title, and beauteous Mario Doro plays the lead m as pretty and romantic a comedy drama as ever was.
