Cast of
THE RIVER OF ROMANCE

"The River of Romance" wilr
undoubtedly prove the most popular
photoplay that the two delightful
stars, Harold Lockwood and May
Allison, have yet made for the Me-
tro program. 1t is produced by the
Yorke Film Corporation and pro-
vides a wealth of adventure for these
truly adventurous stars, with much
bright, clean humor as well.
The Thousand Islands, in the st.
Lawrence River, the beauty spot of
North America, furnishes many glor-
ious settings for this screen master
piece, which is unrivalled in its
beauty. The swiftly-moving story
is full of incidents that absolutely
demand the daring of two such fear
less players as Mr.. Lockwood and
Miss Allison. Fights by night in
strange waters are followed by mar
row escapes from drowning and SEN
sational rescues. And through the
fabric of beauty and adventure is
woven the scarlet thread of a power

The Soul of
Kura San

The brilliant japanese actor,
Sessue Hayakawa, supported by Myr-
tie Stedman, the clever Pallas-Mo-
osco star, will be seen at the Casino
on Friday, Dec. Sth, in the Jesse L.
Lasky production of "The Soul of
Kura-San," an unusual drama,
written especially for them by
Frances Guihan and prepared for the
Paramount program by Charles Sar-
yer.
That this is happy combination
of artists, there can be no doubt.
Sessue Hayakawa, who scored his
great success in "The Cheat" fol-
lowed by "Alien Souls and "The
Honorable Friend" has established
himself as one of the leading actors
of the screen, and the versatile Myr-
tie Stedman, who recently scored
such success in IAN American
Beauty" is one of the most popular
stars in the screen world.
The name part of this production
lis played by Tsuru Aoki, the dainty
Nipponese actress who made herself
SO popular in ALLEN Souls" and
"The Honorable Friend" Many of
1.-THE scenes in this photo-drama were
laid in Japan-others in New
York curio store, and the final and
most dramatic scenes between Mr..
Uayakawa and Miss Stedman occur
in a beautiful Long Island country
home.
The story has to do with the ad-
ventures and tribulations of two
poor Japanese lovers. They are not
liable to marry, so decide to commit
"shinju," which is double suicide,
but when Hayakawa is offered a po-
sition in America they decide to- wal;
until he has acquired enough money
to return for his bride.
How Kura-San is wronged by an
American artist, and how her sweet
heart revenges himself on the art
lists intended American bride, goes
to make story swift in it's action
unusual in it's theme and startling
in it's originality.
The scenes in Japan were made by
the members of Mr. Hayakawa's
stock company which every winter
appears in Japanese plays in the
