WITH THE MOVIE<,
"Purity' Attracts
Much Attention

The classic photoplay "Purity" fea
turing Audrey Munson, the model who
posed for great number Of works Of
art at the San Francisco Exposition,
was shown to large audiences in
Tampa on Tuesday and Wednesday
last. The frankness of the advance
advertising of the picture, caused crit
icism on the part of some of the min
listers with the result that Mayor Nc
Kay appointed a committee of promi-
nent citizens to view the picture be-
fore it was exhibited to the public.
According to the Tampa Times, in
stead of finding grounds for criticism,
the censors praised the picture high
ly, and the Tampa Tribune in a long
article says in part "The committee
sat through the seven reels of the pic
ture and watched every detail of the
presentation. The members were I'M
animous in their verdict that the pic
ture was a work of art, free of i'm
proper suggestion or indecency, and
reported to the mayor that they could
see no reason why it should not be
exhibited with the utmost freedom. "
After viewing the picture Manager
Harris of the Casino made arrange
ments for the showing of Purity" in
Lakeland the first available date;
this, however, will not be for sever
al weeks as the picture is in Flori-
da for only one week at this time,

1.-THE Masked Rider" is The second
Metro Quality Pictures Corporation
production to enlist the services OF
that fascinating pair Harold Lock
wood and May Allison. 1t forms
vivid contrast to "The Comeback"
which was the first production these
gifted players made for Metro, for
while THE Comeback was staged
among scenes of snow and ice, The
Masked Rider" deals with the color
full, romantic South.

of the capabilities of these young
stars that enhances the foreceful
scenes in which they are depicted.

The story of The Masked Rider"

of livelihood. Opposed to this is such
wish for vengeance as only noble
man can feel when he discovers that
his brother has been cruelty muir,
dered, his only offense that of being
true to the highest law he knows.
How these two elements are com
bined in one OF the most powerful
oombats of primitive passion ever
staged is seen in the man-hunt under
taken by the "Parson' and the
Masked Rider" to trap Squid Archer,
and his brother band of moonshiners.
