THE ARIZONA today offers Will

Anybody who has been fortunate
enough to see Miss Dunn in this part
on the legitimate stage will need no
further word to wish to see the pic

that the film version is even more
attractive than the original and we
can heartily recommend Miss Dunn
, as one of the most worth while act
resses we know of.

The Wrath of the Gods.
One of the most wonderful of re-
cent productions in the picture world
is Thomas Inces' The Wrath of the
Gods in which Tsuri Aoki, the not
ed japanese actress is seen to won
derful advantage.
A powerful and gripping story has
been evolved from an old Japanese
legend associated with the ancient
Samurai family of Yamato. Tradi-
ton states that many years ago a
member of the house of Yumato nur-
sued his adversary to the foot of tie
altar of Buidha and slew him. The
Sods, angry at the sacrileSe, are said
10 have appeared TO the offender and
cursed him. His race was doomed
10 extinction and all were forbidden
To marry any member of his family.
The gods further decreed that. should
any disobey this commandment the
wrath of the gods would be visited
on the island. The volcano of SAX :
ura-Jima would open its bowels and
destroy all within its reach.
For years Lord Yamato, the last
male member of his race. has lived
in an old isolated part of the coast
in an endeavor to shield from his
pretty daughter the knowledge of
the curse that is upon his family.
The girl has been forbidden to stray
far away from home One day she
is playing alone on the rocks when
she meets a handsome young Japan
csc fisherman. The stranger pauses
to chat with her. The old prophet
of the village comes upon them and
he warns the young man that the
girl and her father are under a ban
and ostracized by the villagers. The
prophet foreids the young man to
hold further converse with her and
1 he leaves, awed by the earnest solici
tations of the old man who is much
reverend by the natives.
The daughter of Yamato returns
home broken hearted and the fathel
| is grieved to learn he may no longer
keep the secret of their isolation
from her. Old Yamato has created
