BEAUTIFUL HAWAIIAN
PICTURE AT LASALLE

There is something about the Ian
guorOus beauty of the Hawaiian
islands that is very appealing to the
people of inland cities. The sweep
ing. sandy beaches, the smooth roll
ing waters of the bays. the foliage
and the people themselves hold the
interest. In the picture at the La
Sale today these features are used
as beautiful backgrounds TO an in
terestng, if fantastic story. The
Bottle Imp is one Of Robert Louis
Stevenson's most fascinating novels
and il has been transferred TO the
screen in a most artistic manner.
SessUe Hayakawa, one of the clever
est Japanese actors playing in this
country. has a fine part which he
plays with artistic skill. Lehua Wal
pahu, who plays opposite him, is the
sort of a lovely Hawaiian maiden
they write love songs about. The
rest of the cast ard the settings are
splendid. The picture is we'll worth
while. The educational reel. also
shown, is interesting.
Tuesday. "As Men Love" with
Myrtle Stedman and House Peters,
