Geraldine Farrar IN Joan the Wo.
man" Today. Matinee 2.30; Evening
7.30; Children 15o; Adults 25c; No
Seats Reserved
In these days. when the power of wom-
en- to influence and sway the affairs of
the world along channels that tend to
the uplift of humanity, no greater pcr-
trayal of their influence could possibly be
imagined than the wonderful production
Of Joan the Woman, which is to be
presented at the Opera House Monday
and Tuesday. May $50.
Joan the Woman stands super-emi-
nent in power of story, in the lesson that
it teaches for good. in patriotic feeling
and in everything that pertains to the
making of great educational spectacle.
So gigantic is its scope that it is all that
a human mind can do to grasp it in its
entirety. Geraldine Farrar brings Joan
Of Arc back TO life. She lives as one of
us, and one can almost hear her speak
so vivid are the scenes in which she ap-
pears.
Joan the Woman" does not want for
thrills Never have such battle scenes
been seen on the screen before, and 1t is
uouDlLui IL lHcS VIII ever NC surpassed.
Never has an audience been SO swayed
by any photodrama, and the spasmodic
bursts of applause came like volleys from
a nest of machine guns.
There were few heartstrngs that were
not tautened in the moments of pathos
in this production, and many tear-flled
eyes when the last moments of Frances
heroine were shown.
This photodrama is like a living page
from history, but. though based on the
doings of ancient times, it spells many a
lesson to be needed by we moderns. 1t
teaches that nothing can be gained with
out sef-sacrfice. 1t teaches also that
the humblest among us can become use
full and rise to greatness If we only will
it. But, best and greatest Of ALL it
teaches respect for the power and hearts
of womankinds who can rise to the high
est pinnacle of success without the aid OF
men.
1t is not merely awe-inspiring as a spec
taele and thrilling in its heroic moments,
but there is something bigger and more
ennobling back of 1t than ;.tage craft.
It shows to what heights a woman can
rise when it comes to a moment of sacri-
flee. No one can hold back the big Jumps
that come to the throat when they see
this wonderful peasant girl of France
with one OF England greatest invading
knights at her feet in the humble suppl
cation of genuine love, hold back her HUI
name emotions because her country needs
her. And in the continuance of this
throbbing love story every soul must he
stirred to see the girl. Joan. hard as ada
mant on the battlefield twice save the
life of her sutton only to find in the end
that he is the one selected to trap her for
the king of England Historical and
wonderful In pageantry it is, but the
thing that will make it take rank with
