STORY BROUGHT
TO THE SCREEN
“The Unknown Quantity,”
Filmed by Vitagraph With
Corinne Griffith in Stellar
Role, Supported by a
Strong Cast.
Vitagraph brings t o the
screen another of O. Henry’s
famous short stories in “The
Unknown Quantity,” the Cor
rinne Griffith picture which
will be seen in the Jewel
Theatre on next Thursday,
October, 21. This company
has scored many artistic suc
cesses through its famous
author’s policy and O. Henry
works have contributed their
full share. Among the five
reel adaptations from that
writer being “Everybody’s
Girl,” “One Thousand Dol
lars,” “I Will Repay,” from
“A Municipal Report,” “Find
the W o m a n,” and “The
Changing Woman” from
“Matter of Mean Elevation.”
“The Unknown Quantity”
gives what promises to be one
of Miss Griffith’s best roles,
the strong love interest afford
ing the young star exception
al opportunity to display her
rare personal charm and ver
satility as an actress.
The story deals with the
fight of a young millionaire to
make amends to the girl for
wrongs his father had done
her family. She despised him
and looked with favor on
another, but he won in the un
usual game of hearts because
he applied “The Unknown
Quantity” to the problem of
changing her hate to love.
The picture was filmed at
Vitagraph’s Brooklyn studio
under the direction of Thomas
R. Mills, and in the support
ing cast are Huntley Gordon,
H. Davenport, Jack Ridgeway,
Frederick Buckley and Jack
McLean.

COR-INNEj GRIFFITH
Corinne Griffith is known as the best dressed woman on tie screen. Her
gowns are designed especially for her productions and quite frequently this
favorite of the silver screen sets the style for Dame Fashion. But dress is
not the only asset Miss Griffith possesses; her facial expression is in a class
by itself. There is not an emotion, shade or degree of feeling that she cannot
express with her features. “The Climbers,” “The Tower of Jewels,” “Human
Collateral” and “Deadline at Eleven” give an idea of her versatility. These
features also show Miss Griffith in some of her latest gowns.
