DAVIS THEATRE.
Coming Monday and Tuesday, "The Island of Regeneration" Big Six Part Feature with Edith Storey.


 Another wonderful feature will be shown at the Davis Monday and Tues day when the Island of Regeneration will be shown. The Reverend Cyrus Townsend Brady never wrote a more absorbing book than his Island of Re- generation. And there was never a story written by anyone that offered greater possibilities to film drama.
 A beautiful girl-running away from the unwelcome attentions of the owner of the yacht on which she was a guest least upon a tropical island in the southern Pacific; the sole inhabitant a man who had lived alone there since early childhood; his only remembrance of language the Now I lay me" taught him 20 years before by his mother Imagine what a story could be built upon an idea like this. And by such master hand as Cyrus Townsend Brady
 And think of this story Vitagraph! ! You know Vitagrapk productions. You know the genius of J. Stuart Blackton and Albert B. Smith. You know the scale on which they do things You know the Vitagraph resources and fa- cilities that are at their command.
 Imagine how they would handle the fire at sea, the earthquake, the at tempted rescue, the charming love scenes on the tropical island, the girl bathing in the sequestered pond, the arrival of the United States cruiser the return to civilization
 The Island of Regeneration is a great film drama It is the second of the Vftagraph Blue Ribbon features Rnd these as you know are the head liners of all Vitagraph productions Come and see this unique romance.
 Other Mutual movies and big time vaudeville attraction, The Four Rubes from Pumpkinville, a great comedy singing and talking quartette, will complete the bill.
