The new play, based on one of Europe's greatest classics by a master dramatist, is (-mlmrau-,l_v staged in reproductions of modern Europe; in.fact, 8o accurate .are its replicas and so absolutely trues its types that at first glance one would imagine it a picture filmed across the Atlantic rather than in America. | — g 4 Lt 2 | NOVEL FEATURE IS | SHOWN AT COLISEUM . Drama, virile with life, strong i suspense and absorbingly interest- ing in its unfoldment, is the screen version of A. S. M. Hutchinson's widely read and discussed novel, “One Increasing Purpose,” which had its first presentation at the Coliseum last mnight. | The producers, Fox Films, have even bettered the hook by their | spléndid interpretation of the story through the employment of a cast of stars in every role of import- ance, the filming of the outdoor| sequences of the picture in Eng:! land in the very locale where described in' the book, and through the masterly direction of Harry Beaumont. This is a picture that comes "nl fully to the advance notices of the producers. Seldom has a photo-| drama been so well cast. Edmund' Lowe, who sprang to the top of his profession with his Sergeant Quirt in “What Price Glory,” plays the part of Sim Paris the hero of “One Increasing Pur-! pose,” while Lila Lee has the prin- cipal feminine role. May Allison as Linda Paris gives GASOLINE a splendid performance, and Hunt- ley Gordon, as her husband, An.'7%C drew Paris, the wealthy, unscrupu- lous brother of Sim, is equally fine. Others in the cast are Holmes Herbert, Emily PFitzroy, Josef Swikard, Jane Novak and Gwynneth Britowe. r H { COMING TO PALACE il o o L e U5 o & iThe Sea Woll,” Jack London’s famous story of the South Seas and with all the chilly of the Arc.| tie, will be' the: feature at the Pal:) ace Friday ahd' Saturday.

NURSE GETS $25,000 IN WILL OF PATIENT CONWAY, Ark., Aug. 8 Miss Vera Key, resident nurse at Hendrix &ollege, has ample reason to remem- ber gratefully the rest of her life one man whom she nurs. ed.

Five y ago Miss Key entered the Morgan home as a nurse to the humorist who was then in ill health. She brought him back to health | and then followed her duties elsewhere.
