PLAZA

--F41e Quest" the second of the big
 Mutual Masterpieces will be shown at
 the Plaza the latter half of the week
 commencing with to-day's matinee
 and will uaquestionably be as popu-
 lar and create as much favorable com
 ment as did .'The Lost House. the
 first of the masterpieces, t'The Quest''
 is in five parts and there is not dull
 moment or uninteresting- scene from
 the first reel to the last. It grasps
 firmly your interest at the start and it hangs on to it with very little ef-
 fort until pretty, vivacious Marga-
 ret Fischer, who is featured in the reel is clasped in lovers embrace with Harry Pollard, in the final scene of the picture. The story of .'The Quest is unusual, playing upon love, TO- nance and the pursuit of an ideal, and it offers exceptional opportuni- ties for dramatic action which are all fully realized. Joseph Single ton, the great movie actor, who has a life history, which. when written
 reads like an Arabian Night" tale, will portray an important role in the picture. A real steamship. just steam I ing into Santa Cruz harbor. is blown lup during the action of the picture, simply to give it an added thrill and the sight will surely afford the wit nesses more than single thrill The Sherman, DeF'orest Co.,. in their rip l. Jay Circus will headline the vau- deville program and take care of your humor vein for at least twenty min eutes. The act is one of the funniest ever staged locally and is brtnful of real, live, original comedy lines and situations that cannot fail to bring re- 1 suits. The Partisan Trio, vocalists
 and insrumenta1ists in a different 1 from-t1e ordinary type of act will un- doubtedly be popular favorites. They
 are artists of rare ability and have l splendid material in their repertoire.
