AT THE UNIQUE MONDAY

THE Crucial Test a World Film
feature, with Kitty Gordon in the
leading role, will be the attraction
at the Unique Theater on Monday,
November 20. This marks Miss Cor
don's third appearance on the World
program, and is by far the greatest
picture in which she has appeared.
Her part gives her the opportunities
to show that she is an accomplished
actress, and the same manner in
which she executes her difficult roles
proves her to be we'll versed in dra-
matte construction and able to per-
form the most delicate and intricate
roles with the utmost ease, grace and
charm. Besides her splendid work
throughout the five reels, she has
occasion to wear clothes such as she
is so noted for. AS whole, her
work in "The Crucial Test" is an
achievement Of which any star may
we'll be proud
