out a doubt the most important offer
ing given here in some time by Ethel
Barrymore, who appears in THE Kiss

actor, and large cast.
Miss Barrymore is one of family OF
illustrious stage stars who have made
history for the drama in America. She
is a daughter of Maurice Barrymore.

and a sister of Jack and Lionel. She
is also a niece of John Drew and Sid
ney Drew, the latter being a recent
addition to the Metro corporation fam
lily. Miss Barrymore is an accepted
Broadway star and anything in which
she appears may be taken as first
class without further questioning. In
THE Kiss Of Hate" which is a tensely
dramatic picture. Miss Barrymore ap-
pears to decided advantage In fact,
after the picture was made and
proof of it shown on the company's
screen room, Miss Barrymore declared
her delight with the entire affair, stat
ing that she had never been so pleased
with anything she had done. AS she
watched foot after foot of the greatp play
pass by, she told her director that if
she could ever make another such
wonderful picture, she would be salts
fed with her screen work. No doubt
her JOY at the tremendous success of
the picture will be shared by Rock Is

In the course of the story of "Her
Market Value" Mr.. Mack again has
occasion to show US those colorful
underworld backgrounds which he
portrayed so skillfully and interest
ingly in "Kick In" "Her Market
Value" is not in any sense of the
word, however, an underworld play;
it is a drama of a woman's suffering
and a mans harshness simply and
dramatically told. Mr.. Woods has
given the play a characteristic stag
ing and a superb cast, including Emil

Apostle kept the good news to himself,
it would have implied either that he
did not have faith in it's fulfilment or
that he was selfish. But having the
Lords spirit of generosity, as well as
large trust In the Lord, he did not hes
itate to make known the coming de-
liverance; and he gloriied God in that
he credited this knowledge to a reveal

Evidently the prisoner had produced

human conduct than in any of his
previous enthralling and virile efforts.

Apostle and other prisoners to Rome
under a strong guard. There were 10

There being no direct intercourse be-

Caesarea, for n distance Sf six hun
bred miles the journey was made in a
small trading vessel. The trip lasted
from about the middle of August to
September good speed for a sailing

was fine. At Myra. st. Paul and two

voyage, and advised that they winter
there. His opinion may have been the
result of inspiration. but quite possibly
was merely his WI judgment of the
weather, etc; for his trade as sail
maker would naturally bring him into
contact with sailors, and interest him
in all matters pertaining to the craft.
But those In authority concluded to
go to Phenice, a larger port. Before
they had gone far, however, a typhonic
northeast wind struck the vessel sud
denly; and they were driven southwark
until they came under the shelter of
the little island called CLAUDIA. Here
they u~ndergirded the ship by placing
chains and ropes under her keel, be-
cause the weight of the cargo and the
severity of the storm had strained her.
Then they lowered the gearing of the
sails and continued to drive before the
wind, guarding against sandbanks.
The ship labored heavily In the storm.
Part Of her cargo was thrown over
board; and later on she was further
lightened by casting overheard her
heavier furniture. tackle, etc.
Days of Trial and Danger.
The storm continued for several days.
Neither sun nor stars were visible; and
the captain could not tell his where
abouts; for the compass had not yet
been invented. Hence all on board
were abandoning hope. They had ceas-
ed to eat, and were almost in despair.
During those fourteen days the Apos-
tie had abundant opportunity to fear,
to doubt and to question the Lords
providence. Apparently it was not I'M
til the night of the thirteenth day that
the Lord sem an angel to st. Paul
with a consoling message. Verse Pa
We may safely u that during
those days of testing the Apostle re-
manned heartily loyal in faith oward
God, and that this message at the close
was in the nature of an encouragement
and an expression of approval.
Promptly the Apostle made the mat
ter known to the ships company.
Then he manifested his w faith in
the message by cheerfulness and by
breaking his fast, and by advising all
the others to do likewise. His spirit
was contagious. All were cheered; and
doubtless all were impressed not only
by the fact that this disaster had re-
suited from their failure to follow his
advice. but also by the evidence of
