The Thanhouser Company announces that David H. Thompson, the popular “Dave” of the Big Stage for the past year, has returned to character and heavy leads in pictures. He was unable longer to endure his exile.

Mr. Thompson, because of his good judgment and knowledge of the business, was selected a twelve-month ago to handle the extras in rehearsals, which kept him out of the films himself.

But he was clever enough to tutor Frank Grimmer meanwhile, who now steps into the shoes Thompson only too gladly sheds. Everybody familiar with his work in “Aurora Floyd” and many other Thanhouser productions in which he has won distinction, will be delighted to see their old favorite once more on the screen.
