Then the minister falls asleep and dreams, and his dream had to do with the hypocrisy of the world and the elusiveness and beauty of the simple truth. Nonk Consecrates His Life A monk of the olden times conse- crates his whole life to a beautiful work. He desires to hew out of mar- ble a figure of Truth. When it is fin- ished all the people gather while the abbot unveils the monk's gift. There on the pedestal stands the simple white figure of Truth without a shred of clothing-of hypocrisy or illusion or pretense, of conventionality to clothe her nakedness. The people sneer at the monk's conception and rush upon him and stone him to death. There are only two whose spirits are fine enough to permit them to look upon this spirit of Truth and under- stand it. They are a little child and a beautiful nun, the secret of whose life is her free gift of unasked love for the monk. There is one other who appreciates the beauty of the picture. This is Magdalene who weeps for what she has lost. She mourns with the nun for the dead monk. After 7,000 Years Manager Hebert of the Majestic theater has booked one of the greatest photo-plays that was ever shown to the American public. This picture is called "Hypocrites." It has had one of the longest runs at the Longacre theater, New York city, of any picture that was ever produced. This theater was packed for months at $1.00 a seat. At the Majestic theater the prices for this engagement will be 10 and 15 cents, for three days only, May 6, 7 and 8. The cost to bring this picture to Ann Arbor was so great, that the management had to make a small ad- vance in the price of seats, but at that the Ann Arbor public is seeing the same production that the New York people paid $1.00 to see. This picture has just, finished a month's run at the Washington thea- ter, Detroit, to the largest' crowds that ever came into that theater. This is what the Detroit Free Press said about the "Hypocrites": "It will be a blue moon, perhaps, before Detroiters again see the equal of the combination of artistic acting and effective stagecraft in the film pro- duction of "Hypocrites" the Bosworth feature, which is continued for a sec- ond week in the Washington theater. In the symbolic creation of Gabriel, the ascetic monk, Courtenay Foote, brings forth a powerful lesson, depict- ing the unwillingness of present da-y well-to-do people to admit the propri- ety of naked truth as shown in the nude feminine figure carved in marble by the truth-seeking monk. Perhaps most powerful of all the scenes is that in which Courtenay Foote, as the Episcopal minister, fol- lowing out the allegory of the truth- seeking monk, preaching on "Hypoc- risy", is found dead before the alter zfter the service with a Sunday paper. in his hands. It was that section of the paper containing an article on the famous French painting "Truth," which he had found one of the choir boys reading." Don't miss this great picture at the Majestic theater, May 6, 7 and 8. "Shadows of a Great City" at Majestic A young ne'er-do-well, the son of a wealthy merchant, falls in love with the daughter of an inventor, who has devoted the best years of his life to perfecting the machinery of his em- ployer's plants. After an accident has caused the death of the inventor, the merchant, none too scrupulous, lays claim to an unpatented invention. Not aware of his father's act, 'the merchant's son is courting the inventor's daughter- but parental opposition is interposed.' Proffering his son a half interest in his business if he will renounce his love for the girl, he is dumbfounded when his son refuses and decides he wants the girl more than the money. Ordered from home, the son secures' a job as stevedore on the docks. The foreman takes a dislike to the boy and tries to browbeat him. After a quarrel, the boy accidently pushes the fore- man into the river-runs away and tells his sweetheart that he has com- Seven thousand years drift by, and over the bridge of time we see the sculptor monk,. now the minister, in a church of today. In his congregation are the same people who stoned the monk to death in the prologue. They are bored or shocked or disgusted by his fiery denunciation of hypocrisy and his pleadings for Truth. Two under- stand him-the nun who loved him in a previous existence and who is a choir-singer in this one, and Magda- lene, still Magdalene after all the ages. Left alone at the end of the church service the minister finds a newspaper one of the choir boys had been scorn- fully reading while his pastor preach- ed. In it he sees a picture of the famous painting "The Truth." A wonderful panorama follows, for Truth carries with her the Mirror of Honesty. In it the minister sees politics and society and even love stripped of hypo- crisy and as they are. But nowhere are he and Truth received. Magnificently Worked Out The whole conception is magnifi- cently worked out, and is acted with great cleverness by Courtenay Foote as the Minister, and lovely Margaret Edwards as Truth. The flitting figure of unclothed Truth is beautiful and like a fairy vision of white mist. The picture leaves you with a disgust for hypocrisy and vast admiration for the beauty of 'Truth, both spiritually and 'ENOCH AROEN' TO' APPEARHERE SOON Lord dTeniysoi's.Famous Poem Will Be Offered in Moving Pictures on Tuesday, May . LILLIAN CISI IHEADS BlG CAST. Lord Tennyson's famous poem is the basis fdr "Enoch Arden," a four-part Mutual Masterpicture and the latest issue in the series inaugurated by the Mutual Film Corporation to meet the public demnad for*"better motion pic- tures." Lillian Gish heads the cast and is ably supported by Alfred Paget and Wallace Reid, who so often before have played romantic leads with this talented and beautiful young actress, whose screen work, under the direc- tion of D. W. Griffith, has won her a nation wide reputation. Tennyson's celebrated narrative poem is one of the jewels of literature and has remained through the years a thing treasured and loved by young and old alike. It loses none of its traditional appeal by being incorporated in motion pictures. This production, done by the Majestic company under the superin- tendence of William Christy Cabanne, is adequate in all respects and makes elaborate use of the wonderful outdoor scenery the trend of the story lends itself to. Setting Close to North Sea. The scenes are set, presumably, in England in a village inhabited by fish- er folk and close to the North sea, now so much in the public eye due to the submarine warfare at present menac- ing British commerce. The time is 100 years ago. In this village three children lived and played, Philip Ray, Annie Lee and Enoch Arden. Enoch Arden was an orphan, and for this reason, as well as others, he won a large measure of feminine sympathy and interest. Both boys loved little Annie, but she favored neither while they were still children together. Maturity, however, brought to this lovely girl's attention other claims and considerations. Like a flame love rose' within her and stir- red her mightily. Enoch Arden Chosen. Of her two devoted lovers in the end she chose Enoch Arden. Philip was grieved, but he mastered his disap- pointment and remained the friend of both Annie and her husband. When children came he was godfather, to them, and so the years passed. When Enoch and Annie's eldest girl ['ad grown to be seven years old, Enoch was hurt one day and incapacitated for work. When he recovered all he could find to do to support his family was a job as a sailor on a vessel bound for a distant port. After tender farewells he sailed, little dreaming how long it would be before he saw his wife and children again. The years passed. Pa- tiently Annie and the little ones await- ed the husband and father's return un- til so long a time had elapsed that they began to think of him as dead. Philip' meanwhile had been caring for Annie and her children. But for him they would have been destitute. His love for Annie had not lessened, and after Enoch Arden had been gone 10 years he renewed his suit. In the end Annie married hrim. Rescued at Last All this time Enoch Arden had been living, a helpless prisoner, on an un- inhabited island the waves had car- ried him to when his ship had been wrecked. For him the years that in- tervened between the wreck and his rescue so affected him with hopeless-; ness, that he could hardly believe his eyes when finally the vessel that saved him hove in sight on the far line of the9 horizon. How all these circumstances tend to a superb photo-play climax is1 apparent to every devotee of the mov-3 I s, and the situations are handled with delicacy, force and charm by Miss Gish, Mr. Paget and Mr. Reid. "Enoch Arden will be shown at the Majestic theater on Tuesday, May 4. Lillian Gish's golden hair floating free in the ocean breezes, is but a touch of human beauty added to the natural beauty of the open air scenes running all through the four-part Mutual Mas- terpicture "Enoch Arden.' Scene from "Hypocrites," at the May Majestic Thursday,. 6, 7 and 8. Friday and Satu "ItYPOCRITES" WINS APPROVAL OF MANY PROMINENT PERSONS May 6, 7 and 8, the Majestic theater will have one of the greatest photo- plays that was ever produced in this country, "The Hypocrites." This won- derful 'picture ran for months at the Longacre theater, New York City, to pacled houses and the seats sold for $1.00. At the Majestic the prices will be 10 and 15 cents. The management had to raise the price of the seats for this engagement because of the great expense of bringing this picture to Ann Arbor. This will be the only time during the Moving Picture Season that the prices at the Majestic will be advanced. Rev. Helvey Appleton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., had this to say after seeing the "'Hypocrites."~ "I give it my unstinted approval, it is a powerful lesson. I will recom- mend it to my congregation next Sun- day." Rev. Hugo Vianna, Barbadoes, B. W. I., was much pleased with "Hypo- crites," and sent the following letter: "It is a greater moral lesson than any stage document ever conceived." This is what Inspector Dryer, N. Y. city police department, said "Hypo- Crites" is a clean, moral story. There is not one single point to be excepted. In the "Hypocrites" the new screen play by Bosworth, Inc., at the Long- acre theater, several new ideas are developed. For the first time in the moving picture the undraped human figure is used, and for the first time all the new realistic methods of the mod- ern theater are employed. ".How do they do it?" asked every one as the vast audience thronged out. "How do they produce that flit- ting misty figure seen now and then and half guessed the rest of the time?" But "how they do it" is one of the secrets that makes this picture so charming.t This picture will be in Ann Arbor at the Majestic for three days only. May 6, 7 and 8, with a matinee and two shows at night. Cabanne Produced "Enoch Arden" Lord Tennyson himself would have been interested profoundly by the mo- tion picture based on.his poem "Enoch Arden." It is a four-part Mutual Mas- terpicture, one of the series offered by the Mutual Film Corporation to antici- pate the public demand for "better mo- tion pictures." All the care expended by the great English poet on his pol- ished verse has been duplicated by W. Christy Cabanne in that kind of detail- ed application that results in a great picture, It required wonderful acting faith- fully to portray the emotions of 4 man who comes home after 10 years' ab- sence to find himself foreyer robbed of love, his home, his family and then does one of the bravest things recorded in the annals of literature, But Alfred1 Paget as Enoch Arden has lived up to' the full possibilities of an exacting# role. "Enoch Arden" is a four-part Mutual Masterpiece based on Tenny-1 son's famous poem.
