Then begins a series of thrilling experiences which, it is said, make the picture one of the most fas- cinating and heart-appealing ever screened. g The story, written in Mr. Packard’s inimitable style, carries an appeal even stronger than his famous tale, “The Miracle Man.” Supporting Miss White are Richard C. Travers, who plays the dual role of “The Pug” and “The Adventurer’”; Walter Lewis, J. Thornton Baston, Eva Gordon, Wil- liam ‘Harvey, George Pauncefort, Charles J. Slattery, John P. Wade and John Woodford. “BRIDE 13” SHOWING AT THE REX TOMORROW ONLY Bob, who has escaped from the pi- rate, summons_the Canadian North- west Mounted Police, who have a sta- tion just over the border. They ac- company him to the castle, to which Ruth has been returned. Winthrop and Storrow have come up on Storrow’s yacht, and Winthrop reaches the castle to arrange for the payment of the ransom just in time to see the Mardi forcing his aiten- tions upon Ruth. They quarrel, but Winthrop tells his partner in crime that Storrow is When “The Fevel in the tales of Jack London, SOUTH SEA ISLANDS TONIGHT | The mewest Universal-Jewel pro- “Under,; Crimson’; SKies,” Rex Ingram and featuring Elmo Lin- coln, the Colossus of the screen, will theatre' tonight and Tuesday.

In this feature Blmo Lin- coln appears as Yank Barstow, cap- tain of his own schooner, the South- ern Cross, plowing her way to a South American port, with a cargo of con- trabrand munitions for a revolution- ary leader. { “Ladies Must Dance completes the presram. a comedy “HELP YOUSELF” AT THE GRAND THEATRE WEDNESDAY “Help Yourself” is a Goldwyn pic- ture starring Madge Kennedy, whose work as a comedienne has brought her to the fore as one of the most fmitated screen artists. Not only did she win her'way to the front on the sereen, but has also an enviable repu- tation as a legitimate stage actress. The story was written by Wallace Irwin. As a photoplay, all the de- tails that are necessary limited by the fictlon form have been given a new emphasis. The locale of “Help Yourself” al- ternates between Greenwish Village and a bedutiful estate on Long 1sland. The action that brings the characters in New York’s Bohemia to the coun- try is fast and furious. This Goldwyn picture comes to the Grand theatre, beginning on.

As a result this picture is scheduled for showing here in about two weeks. This picture is sure to appeal to every class of theatregoers.

The picture itself is a powerful adaptation of I. A. R. Wy- lie's famous novel, “The Temple of Dawn,” and provides Mr. Lytell with a vehicle suitable to his great dra-, matic talent. | IMr. Lytell appears as a young Eng- J lishman who first distinguishes him- self as a military hero, and then sinks to the depth of degradation,} only finally to redeem himself thru! the love of a little child. It was a gripping character study that the! young Metro star presented—winning and absorbing in the sheer appeal of its charm and dramatic power. Those present who remembered Mr. Lvtell in “The Right'ot:Way"” and'in “Allas; Jimmy Valentine” were doubly pleas- | ed at this amazing demonstration of the young gtar's versatility in char-| acter portrayal. The stgsy of “The Price of Re- demption” is that of Leigh Dering. a young English officer, who saves the beselged garrison of Akbar from a native uprising, and afterward mar- ries a rich girl in London, only to find that he does not love her. As- suming the crime of another, he leaves London and returns to India, where he abandons himself to drink! and drugs. There, sometime later, his wife, now married to another, finds him, and it is thru the love of their little child that Dering redeems himselt. and_wins again to mastery. v THE WHITE MOLLY e E ! | Mr. Lytell’s portrayal of Dering|\ = 47 cTION) fremen SOUNDS THE J e story ; who fought 1 ‘way back against odds ©OF THE HUMAN EMOTIONS ‘WED., THURS. and FRIDAY of a girl t her DEPTHS TUESDAY Dec. 7 Third Street REX Theatre | Last Sbowing Tonight A Man Who Came Back ' Is the Hero of “THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION” Starring Bert Lytell A screen story of rare power and tremendous fascination, in a setting of mystic India.
