THE Gods of Fate" thrilling feat

efforts of its entire staff, was chosen
as the most appealing type of photo
play with which to begin the new

everything that goes to make up an
interesting and gripping feature. Dan
iel Carson Goodman, conceded to be
one of the foremost screen writer's of
the present time, has woven into his
tale of love and work, themes which
cannot fail TO impart great moral
