MARGUERITE CLARK

AS "THE VALENTINE GUIL."

TO-DAY.

Speaking of the above picture; which will be screened for the first time in Wanganui at the Grand Theatre today, at the afternoon and evening performances, the •" Dominion'" says : Large crowds greeted dainty Marguerite Clark when she appeared as "The Valentine Girl.* This beautiful picture caused a great sensation in America, and is likely to do the same here. • Marion Morgan, the daughter of a professional gambler, is portrayed by Marguerite Clark. It has been the dream of Marion's short life to meet her father, whom she has never seen. When she meets him he proves to be a professional gambler and the leader of a band of crooks. His great-wealth enables him to provide every tiling for her, but still he cannot make her happy, because lie cannot explain why other little girls refuse to play with her. The hungry appeal of the child for love and sympathy, and her pathetic endeavours to find the bright side of life in. thebig shadow of calami^, make the character one of the lr/ffsfc delightful <md appealing that Marguerite Clark has given to the photo-play public. A big double programme will support "The Valentine Girl," including two splendid dramas, "Victoria Cross" and "Vultures of London," which y,-L'.l only, be screened once at each performance.
