THE CATSPAWp ON MON

Special Feature OF five Part Photo Drama at
s'.vssa.,e the Fie4+.;3 Monday fyeniyg

The Catspaw, an Edison five
part photodrama released through
kleine-Edison feature service, will
be offered at the Electric theatre
next Monday, March 18th. The plot
in this fascinating film tale bristes
with tense situations, involving the
doings of daring adventurer and an
equally venturesome adventures hap
pening to meet and renew acquain-
tance in a rich manufacturing city
where money is plentiful, but the
lines of society are tightly drawn.
The adventurer employs a double
who innocently represents him in
business and society, while his EN-.
ployer robs banks and private strong
boxes. His accomplice, the adven.
turess knows nothing about the
employment of a double which ac-
counts for her upsetting all plans of
the arch conspirator when her jealousy
is excited. The "double'' of course,
proves to be the catspaw and his
affairs in love as we'll as in other
directions are punctuated with mis-
fortune. 1.-The Catspaw" is presented
by an unusually strong cast headed by
Miriam Nesbitt and Marc McDermott,
the latter playing two roles. 1t is
staged with great accuracy as regards
scenery, surroundings, etc., and
makes altogether an especially strong
attraction.
