THEDA BARA IS
some VAMPIRE

Patrons of the Hawaii theater, es'
pecially that large throng that follows
the activities of Theda Bara, are
turning out in large numbers during
the present period to witness their ia
vorite in one of her favorite roles
She appears once more as the premier
vampire woman of the screen and
shows no evidence of having lost any
of her cunning in such roles, despite
the fact that her several recent or
ferings have shown her in parts that
might we'll be considered as more
human and humane.
The Vixen" is the current Hawaii
feature and, needless to state, Theda
Bara is seen in the title role. She
appears as a woman with no desires
in life except those that money can
buy. AS a consequence she decided
to marry for wealth and is successful,
stealing the affianced Of her sister.
The man is prominent in diplomatic
circles and takes his bride with him
on a mission to France. They are
there several years.
On their return The Vixen still
stepped in the lust of conquest en-
deayors to win another lover from
her sister Her efforts, however, end
in her downfall and, but for the
thought of her children. sister and
lover would have wrecked her life.

LIBERTY Showing
DRAMA OF SOUTH

One of the picturesque spots Of the
south before the war is reproduced
in the current offering at the Liberty
theater, Those Without Sim and it
adds not a little to this starring We
hicle Of Blanche Sweet. The fea-
tured star appears as a daughter Of
the southland, type in which she
has previously scored a decided sue
cess. This artist has appeared in a
large number of varying roles, nurse,
school teacher, shop girl, and even
physician, but she is at her best in
the hoop skirt parts.
The story Of Those Without Sin"
has to do with the sacrifices Of
young girl in order to aid her own
beloved southland. How, when en-
trusted with valuable dispatches, she
saves her friends and neighbors when
captured by federal troops. 1t is a
story of constant sacrifices and was
written especially for Miss Sweet, who
revels in such parts.
In the supporting cast are num-
Der of the best artists of the Lasky
studios, including Tom Forman, Guy
Oliver, James Neill, Charles Ogle.
Mabel Van Buren,, George Beranger,
Edna Wilson and, last but not least,
little Billy Jacobs.
