THE SILENT LIEF ON
 FOx's SCREEN TODAY

An intensely interesting tale of a woman's heart and mans life is the feature of the Fox bill for today and tomorrow. aThe silent Lie'' is a vivid picturization of life and death in the great No-Man's Land of the northwestern country of perpetual snow. where a woman must lead the life of a man. and only the fittest sur- wives. It has to do with a woman's peculiar destructive vengeance, and 1t tells unique story filled with orig inal situations. startling crises, and intense excitement. ''The Silent Lie'' was written and directed by Raoul Walsh. who is responsible for 'The Honor System," and many other Fox triumphs. In addition to this feature will. be shown number of shorter subjects, including side-splitting comedy, "Suds of Love" and the Pathe News. Holiday prices will pre- vail today.
 x X newly released feature that has already sprung" into instantaneous popularity on Broadway Is Darkest Russia" and 1t will head the Fox bill. by special arrangement, for Friday and Saturday only. Coming at 2 time when Russian lie and political affairs are undergoing the most radi- cal changes that were ever faced by any country Darkest Russia" un- masks, with uncompromising ster- ness, the naked truth as to the hor- ricle conditions which led up to the recent revolution. Alice Brady. the
 popular Fox star, plays the part of an
 innocent Jewish vfolinist and the trials and heart-sickenihg tribulations to which she is compelled to submit
 at the hands of the late Russian gov
 ernment by reason of her race, go to
 make up one of the most intensely
 interesting and gripping dramas of
 the day.
