At The Davis Toniqht.

As is indicated by the title, Kick In is play with punch. It was this punch which established the play as the most substantial dramatic success of last season in New York.

No production of recent times was so lavishly lauded and all who have had the pleasure of seeing it agree that every complimentary line written about it was fully deserved. It was this same punch which riveted the attention of theatrical managers of England and Australia, who immedi- ately arranged for a presentation of Kick In in those countries, until, at the present time, it may be said that this Willard Mack masterpiece is be- ing acted around the world

"The Red Virain," Daring Three Reel
 Luhin Drama of Moravian Love.

Here is the drama that you have been waiting for; something different;
 something to send your blood tfngling to your brain; something to lull you into sweet mood, when all the best in the world appeals to you, and makes you look upon life as worth the liv- ing. All that is desired in a drama that is new and radically different, Is in this big Lubin masterpiece After you have seen it you will feel the inn pulses of the pitiable little country girl, Rose. who, when life was at its fullest, gave her love to young prince from Moravia, who, having left his country rather than marry a girl of the royal blood whom he did not love, finds in the pretty Rose his ideal. Later, his countrymen discover his whereabouts in America, whither he had fled. and taking the bride-el of the kingdoms choice, the royal party start for the abiding place of the prince living incognito. Happily married, Rose and her prince husband are living in retirement, until the royal party arrives, and seeing the state of affairs, and Knowing that the country of her husband is at war. which can only be settled by the mar r1age Of the prince and the girl with the party, Rose loses herself, and at tempts destruction of her life She lives, but the prince believes her dead. hs anu narf1eS according to the dictates of his country. A daughter is born to the little village bride in America, and later son is born to the union of the prince and princess. The daughter is taught to hate and destroy men by the revengeful mother, who afterwards dies. How the Red Virgin attempts to ruin her own brother is best told in this startling feature.
