CHARLOTTE WALKER IN
"SLOTH" NEXT OF
SEVEN DEADLY SINS.

Manager Briel announces that
Charlotte Walker in "Sloth," with
Shirley Mason and George lie Guere,
will be shown at the Star Theater
on Thursday. "Sloth" is one of the
Mcclure series of five-reel dramas
grouped under the title of Seven
Deadly Sins. The series is proving
an immense success az the star Ghe-
ater.
A ringing appeal fov patriotism, a
string denunciation of laZiness of to-
day is "Sloth." It fires upon women
who Toll in luxury, those whom pros
perity has made Indifferent to duties
toward others and toward their
country.
Shirley Mason is a rich girl who is
annoyed because George lie Guere
is going way to the border with the
National Guard. Charlotte Walker
comes to teach her patriotism, to cure
heT of the temptations of idieness.
MISS Walker appears in throbbing
see mes of famous herOines of history
s ally Wells, who fought Indians;
Man garet Brent. who was taken pris-
oner by pirates and over whom bad
men and good battled TO the death;
and Molly Pitcher, the famous hoy
den, who manned a cannon at the bat
tie of Monmouth. Each Of the stories
is vivid, with real human interest and
humort with scenes of battle and
scenes of love.
The entire drama is an absorbing
play, exposing the sins of laziness.
Miss Walker is supported by an ex-
cellent cast and the settings are
beautif al. Hundreds Of men took
part in the war episodes. One Of the
thrills is a ~blindfOlded duel between
Ingles, the swashbuckler, and Sir
Philip Reed; the prize 10 be Margaret
J Brent.
