Lasky's picturization of Harold McGrath's famous novel; "The Goose "Girl," with dainty Mar­ guerite Clark in the title role. - The work was so obviously suited to Miss Clark's charm and personality that the Lasky company made arrange­ ments to present her in this one of­ fering by the special courtesy of the Famous Player Film company. Of course Gretchen, the Goose Girl, is not a goose girl at all, but the Princess of Ehrenstein, only child of the grand duke of that coun­ try, and has been stolen by gypaiea in her infancy. This is all due to a plot conceived and executed by Von Herbeck, the chancellor to the grand duke, who seeks to put his own daugh­ ter in the place of the stolen prin­ cess. " There is a king in the story and he is the ruler of the neighboring coun­ try of Jugendheit. In order to pre­ vent war between the two principal­ ities, he is betrothed to marry the false princess (Von Herbeck's daugh­ ter), whom he has never seen. But the king is young and romantic, and revolts at this procedure. In the events that follow the king res­ cues the little Goose Girl from insult and {alls in love with her. However, it appears that it is impossible for him to marry a peasant girl and he finally consents to marry the prin­ cess after all. But by that time the little Goose Girl has been identified as the real scion of royalty, and in the Princess of Ehrenstein the King of Jugendheit finds to his surprise and joy the woman of his choice. Miss Clark assumes the role of the little princess, whose lot" it is to tend the geese of peasant foster-par­ ents. Monroe Salisbury appears as the frank, democratic and warm­ hearted king. Other leading mem­ bers of the company are Sidney Dean, E. N. Dunbar, James Neill, L. Payten, P. E. Peters, H. B. C. Car­ penter, Ernest Joy, J. M. Cassidy, Miss Johnson and Jane Darwell. "The Goose Girl" is produced by the Lasky company thru an arrange­ ment with the publishers of the book, the Bobbs-Merrill company.
