Stuart Blackton production, presented under the Vitagraph banner. Mae Marsh is the star, and that in itself would be suf- ficient assurance that the picture is worth seeing. The promises do not stop there, however. “Tides of Passion” 13 an adaptation of Basil King's well known novel, “In the Gardea of Charity,” and the text has been closely followed in the picturiza. tion. This means that there is no end of thrills, of action and of appealing romance. The greatest thrill comes whan two girls are marooned on a nar- row, ledge of rock in the ocearn an are rescued with extreme difficulty. Moments of suspense abound throughout. the unrolling of the plot, and the photography, most of it of scenes on the rock- ibund ocean coast, is said to b remarkable. “"LIONEL BARRYMORE IS AT COLISEUM TUESDAY | In “Fifty-Fifty,” which comes to the Coliseum Theatre Tuesday for tha'a two days’ engagement, part of the action is laid in the Apache den in Paris.
