CONTRAST OF CITY VIL
C LAGE LIFE SEEN IN
UNUSUAL FILM
«flie Girl Woman” Portrays
Smashing Story of Country
side and Bright Lights.
Vitagraph's new feature
film “The Girl Wamon,” in
which Miss Gladys Leslie is
the star, will be shown at the
jewel Theatre on next Thurs
day Sept. 9. It is one of the
brightest, prettiest and at the
game time highly dAmatic
screen productions released in
many months.
Reports from New YorK,
where the picture was first
shown, attest that “The Girl
Woman” has the earmarks
of a film that will live long. It
is built upon a story that de
lineates rural and big city life
in smashing contrast. Its in
gredients are the buried and
forgotten romance of a false
conviction, of the tragic facts
that travel undercurrent in a
small town and of a sensation
that rends the souls of peaceful
people of the countryside.
Miss Leslie is cast in the
role of Belinda Lee, a girl of
eighteen, vtho has been pre
vented by a doting foster
parent from really growing up.
Belinda has been reared and
taught to believe that Jud
“Daddy” Lee i^her real father.
But there comes a time when a
bearded, unkept wild man es
capes from the prison and
breaks in upon the Lee home.
This man, Sanford, is Be
linda’s real father, she learns:
She instantly believes his story
of a great wrong.
Belinda helps her father to
escape,and for weeks there
after in the great city of New
York strives with the mind of j
a fully matured, capable worn-!
an to procure evidence wiping
out the tragedy of his life, j
She succeeds. The film is full!
of dramatic suspense and rap-;
id action.

She didn’t know a soup ladle
from a salad spoon, but oh, how
she could shimmy! She used
to bathe dishes in a swell hotel,
but every time that zippy jazz
band started syncopating, she
just couldn’t make her feet be
have. Then she decided to
show the high-kickers upstairs
in the cabaret some new
wrinkles in the gentle art of
fast living. She “borrowed” a
swell Lady Duff Gordon outfit
and one-stepped into the cab
aret. An eloping heiress who
looked like our hapless heroine;
a bungling detective; a million
dollar bell-hop and then the
fun started. It all happens in
“Upstairs,” Mabel Normand’s
latest and best Goldwyn pic
ture. Doors open at 7:45,
show at 8:00 Monday, Sept. 6.
