zach to His Kind"

Sessue Hayakawa, the famous Jap
anese actor, is starred IN the Lasky-
Paramount picture, Each to HIS
Kind" which will be the Monday Of
fering at the Grand.
By his wonderful performance IN
"The Cheat" Mr.. Hayakawa estab-
lished himself as one of the most pop
ular artists on the screen. Following
,-saThe Cheat he renewed his popular
ity in "Alien Souls "The Honora-
BILE Friend" and his more recent
vehicle, 'The Soul Of Kura-San." In
all of these Mr.. Hayakawa has been
seen as a japanese, but his familiar,
ity with East Indian types and char.
acteristics, as displayed in 1.-The
Victoria Cross" together with his
Oriental cast of features, make him
most acceptable as high caste East
Indian, which is the role he portrays
in each to His Kind"
Rhandah, who is to succeed his
father, the Maharajah of Dharpull,
is sent to Oxford to be educated. The
Princess NADIA, to whom he is en-
gagged, fearful of the outcome of his
Journey, gives him an amulet to bring
him back to her in safety. At the col
lege he meets Amy, daughter of Col.
Dave, and they b, L,r1e interested in
each other. Amy wagers that she can
persuade the Prince to give her the
amulet, and succeeds in having him
accept her invitation to party,
where she manages to see Rhandah
alone and secures the charm. Asa
Judd, tutor to the Maharajah's son,
surreptitiously takes snap shot Of
z Amy and Rhandah and sends it to
Col, Marcy, the resident British
councillor. Mulai Singh, an aspirant
to the throne, obtains possession OF
the photograph.
Rhandah, embittered, returns home
and at the death of his father swears
eternal vengeance on all the English
He seeks out Mulai Singh and obtains
the picture, declaring his intention OF
leading his people in revolt. Dick
Larrimer, Amy's fance, is taken pris
ener and Rhandah orders him to the
dungeon. Amy has come to India
with her father and is also captured
by the outlaws, but when they see
the amulet they release her. Nads
recognizes her from the picture, ant
comes upon Rhandah and Amy as hi
ls contemplating what he shall do with
Dick. Rhandah makes advances tt
Amy which she dares not resent. Sht
tells him she will do anything to save
Dick, but he replies there is nothing
that will save her sweetheart. NADIA
listening, ready to kill Amy with ;
dagger, overhears and rushes int

intercedes and Dick is set free. Al

"The Nations Peril"

America is in the grip of a patriotic
fervor unequalled since the wires
flashed the news that the Maine had
been blown up in Havana harbor, al
most twenty years ago. Monster pa
rades in the interest of preparedness
have taken place all over the United
States, and in the larger cities of the
north and east huge meetings have
been held. The motion picture
screen has played a prominent part
in this great movement.
Especially is this true of the sub
lime spectacle, "The Nations Peril,
which comes to the Grand next Fri
day. Upon it's showing at Chicago
one of the leading newspapers Of
that city characterized the picture as
"a bugle call to arms for national de
fense" Wonderful are the scenes
particularly the ones at night, show
ing the landing Of troops by the navy
the driving of the foreigners from oul
shores, the destruction of the wire
less station in the woods of Maine
and the sinking of the enemy's boa
carrying important papers.
And then there is the love element
and Americas glorious womanhood
It is the latter which aids in the rescu'
of the nation, figuring in a clima'
which is burst of splendor, wonder
ful in the extreme.

this trial was not on account of what
