The scenes of “Bears of Jealouv,” Thomas H. lnee's great, modern drama, are laid in the mountains of Alabama. The photoplay depicts the lives of the “Cajuns*’ or mountaineer descendants of tjie Aendians of Nova Scotia, who were exiled a century ago and took final refuge in the mountains of Alabama. They were driven from France by Louis XV., and this phase of their lives is told in the most magnificent prologue ever given a motion picture. In this prologue more than a. thousand actors and actresses appear in the introductory scenes. The play tells an in- 1 tensely* interesting story, lias' some unusual thrills, a, magnificent staged pro-' I ague, and a.n all-star cast. Gladys l Walton started her film career as a j “bathing bea.uty,” and in “The Wild Party,” her latest starring vehicle for j Universal, she proves that her skill as a swimmer and fancy diver has not diminished. The special starring engagement- of the Campbell Boys, Colin and John., the world’s finest concertina, duo. promises to be ah event of importance. Their repertoire is an excellent one, running from grave to gay, and from grand opera, to ragtime—in fact they are an entertainment in themselves. *
