THE WEEKS ATTRACTIONS

the name of Daredevil Kate" star ring Virginia Pearson. who has been hailed far and near as second Theda Bara, with all the attractions possessed Dy that celebrated woman, and few of her unattractice features. Daredevil Kate is the story of a bad woman, at least she is bad at the start, but the story of her regenera- tion and subsequent blossoming out as woman of virtue. and sparkling beauty, is told in such a way that tfe picture is said to be one of the best ever screened by the Fox forces. Miss Pearson IS supported by a new conner to the Fox organization one Victor Sutherland. said to be one of the cleverest leading men in the country. Daredevil Kate" will be at he Lamara today, tomorrow and Tuesday, ir addition to which on Tuesday and Wednesday, Diana The Huntress," a classic picture, in which are filmed some of the beautiful women of the cCUntry will be shown. The picture is one of beauty. Need less to saV the young ladies who take the roles of Diania and Ter at tenddnts. wear just about enough clothes to get Dy the censors. Wed nesday and Thursday a Paramount offering made by the I.asky people -fiiiEN bii- ioNI III Dc lile OlltI- ing. The Clown is a circus story of course. The call of the sawdust is strong to most people. and with the Paramount stamp to back it up, the picture should do a wonderful busi- ness. Florence GaSmar plays the lead, and is supported by capable cast. Daring the making of the pie ture 1t was necessary to show the inside of a circus. For this pur- pose, the Lasky organization rent ec whole circus for three days. The menagerie and all are shown.
 Thursday and Friday Ann Penning- tor. If that were put in large type and placed across the front page of the average newspaper, it would cause no end of comment and every enc would be asking where she is playing. This time she is at the Lamara. and she will be in Susan Snowflake. Miss Pennington, is one of the best known of the Ziegfield Follie girls. and is noted for her beau ty and ability to dance. This is her first appearance on the screen. and as long as she is a musical comedy faVorite. it was thought best to intro- duce her in the part of a musica
 comedy star. She is a great hit or the screen.

COLUMBIA

Not so long ago picture taken from novel that had big sale on account of it's authors reputation, was produced in Los Angeles and it had a big run. Not because the picture was a wonder, but because the scenes were laid in the most beautiful valley at the foot of the most beautiful mountain of the world. This picture got over and was pro- nounced a hit, and that too in the face of the fact that the critics all over the country pronounced it a photo- graphic failure.
 Bear Valley saved it, in fact made it. All of which leads up to the fact that The Girl of Lost Lake" a Blue Bird picture, billed at the Columbia today and tomorrow, was photographed in the Bear Valley.
 Photographed on the identical spots as the picture that got over for req son of it's scenic environment. The only difference between that picture which had no story and "The Girl of Lost Lake" is that the latter has a smash ing story.
