'The outcast' at the Victoria To-day

To-day is Mutual Masterpiece day
at the Victoria and we present for the
first time in this city "The Outcast,,'
powerful four-part production. This
great feature was taken from the story
written by that great American writer
and Ambassador to Italy, Thomas Mel
son Page. 1t is play of excitement
and thrill-humor and pathos-that
strikes every note in the scale of hui
man emotions. The heroine is a girl
of the slums-by environment-but
she finally comes into her own and real
ICES her dream of life in the open
far away from the city streets. There
is wonderful court room scene in
which "The Outcast' is on trial for
murder and is saved from the severity
of hard-hearted Judge, who turns out
to be her father. There is also true
to-life cabaret scene, in which the hero
inc plays the part of dancing girl.
