Miss Kane herself believes that
"The Serpent's Tooth" which comes
to the Bonita tomorrow, is the most
effective photodrama in which she
has ever appeared, her role being that
of Faith Claiming. a New England
girl. who has been reared under a
strict Puritan code. but who is driven
to a frenzy of fast living by a brutal
husband.
