Frances Marion’s original storj

Pllcikford will be seen at the Libert;
Theater tonight, is not t.niy a uniqti
departure in the line of story fa
the “World’s Sweetheart,’’ blit
grilling drama of unusual interest
Briefly the story is as follows:
Angela Carlotti presides over th
house of her two orphaned brother;
Antonio and iMarto, in a little fishln
village bordering on the Mediterrar
ean in Northern Italy. Antonio an
Mario spend their days fishing ol
the lighthouse, Angela caring for th
little stone house, the barnyards an
gardens. They are all young, an
boy-like, the brothers -slip as mur
of the work, os possible upon the ai
parently tireless shoulders of An gelt
They have only to remark that a cot
tain job is too hard for any woma:
and Angela flies at it and labor
along while they recline in the shadt
audibly marveling at her strengt:
and cleverness.
• Angela is being courted by Giocan
ni Novella, who is hold in contemp
-by the fisher folk because Instead o
handling the nets and row boosts, h
raises flwers for the perfume mai
ket of Genoa. In time Antonio join
the army of bis country and a llitth
later Mario atoo enlists. Giovanu
is still at home and Angela voice
her contempt alt his apparent lacl
of patriotism; this decides for Gio
vaunt that he should go, and he re
turns blinded, and then as pretty :
