TWO BIC FEATURES At

Lovers Of fine motion pictures
will find the coming week at the
Magic City one Of unusal pictures.
Chas. E. Brickley, Americas greatest
football star will be shown on Sum-
day night. This picture should
appeal to the high school folks and
the older ones who enjoved the
game when attending school.
Much interest is being taken in
the big production Of Lady Aud
ley's Secret which comes Monday
night.
Theda Bara, famous the world
over, for her wonderfully charac.
terizations of the Vampire. in "A
Fool There Was" and The Devils
Daughter" is seen in a somewhat
different role in the recent William
Fox sensational photo drama Lady
Audley's Secret"
Heretofore Miss Bara has pro-
trayed the parts Of women who are
inaately bad or wicked. In Lady
Audley's Secret" however, she is
cast for a part that depicts a wom-
an who causes misery to two men,
but does it subonsciously. 1t is the
story of a woman cursed by a
hereditary insanity which is brought
out bv a series of terrible misfor.
tunes, catastrophes which would
seem to cause any sound mind to
become unbalanced. 1t is the fact
that Lady Audley commits the
crimes she does while insane that
makes the characterization so par.
ticularly delicate. 1t is necessary
to trace the oncoming of tn e
malady from a vague. undefinable
beginning through to a series of
horrible crimes. For regular pro-
gram see page 5.
