The showing of feature photoplays
will be resumed Monday with the special
production "Missing," story of love
and war from the tremendously success
full novel by Mrs. Humphry Ward.
A charming photoplay of love and
war, combining all tn, elements of dra-
matte thrill and deep heart appeal, is
Missing" In this photoplay appear two
sisters, one of them a designing woman,
who Graves social position and wealth,
and who seeks to utilize her sister as
tool for the accomplishment of her pur-
pose. The younger sister, however,
marries an army officer, and after his
departure for the front, she is thrown IN
contact with a patriotic nobleman,
through whose philanthropy thousands
of British convalescent troops are being
cared for.
The elder sister encourages their meet
ings and secretly nourishes the hope that
the lieutenant may be killed and her sis
ter eventually be married to the rich
nobleman The lieutenant is reported as
missing but returns after having been
severely wounded in an engagement and
he loses his speech and memory through
shock. His health is finally restored by
his wife, who sings to him, Bonnie
Sweet Bessie" song they sang together
during their courting days The play is
filled with action and is in every way
calculated to make a deep impression
upon the spectator.
In the all-Star cast are such screen
stars as Thomas Meighan, Robert Cor
don, Winter Hall, Sylvia Dreamer, Ola
Humphrey, Molly Mcconnell and kathlyn
O'Connor.
The $1,OOO,O 900 picture beautiful, "a
Daughter of the Gods with Annette
Kellerman will be shown Tuesday at our
regular prices This feature has been
called by critics the most colossal of all
spectacles.
Miss kellerman dives from the cliffs,
is thrown into raging torrent, with
hands and feet bound, and dashed against
the rocks by the waves, rides to battle in
heavy armor, and performs other feats
without apparent injury. Her hair-rais-
ing activities furnish most of the thrills.
The production has been rightly named
a fantasy, for it deals with mythical
creatures to whom the changing of croco-
diles into swans and the bringing of the
dead to life is a matter of little lmpor-
tance. The film appeals to that side of
the audience which lives in dreams and
the imagination. In fact, the foreword
of the producer is an invitation to be-
come children, who are wiser because
they live in world of their own making.
The picture will delight any child as
more exciting than any of Grimm's S
fairy tales. 1t almost convinces the
sane adult of the existence of super be-
ings because of the great scale OF the un-
dertaking and the realism of the photo
graphy. The spectacle would be entire
ly impossible of reproduction on the stage,
for only the camera can create the neces-
sary illusion and capture the wide hor1-
zon, which gives the play its fascination.
The producers have wisely chosen the
Far East as a setting, thereby gaming an
almost limitless supply of colortul cos
tunes, bizarre scenes and Oriental splen-
dors Necessarily the drapery OF the
human form is at times scanty, but only
the super sensitive can find any fault
with tie artistic handling of these scenes.
Great pageants, hosts of armed men, the
destruction of the Sultan's city and
glimpses of the world of gods and falries
furnish almost more splendor than the
eye can grasp.
Wednesday, the screens brightest sun
beam, Baby Marie Osborne, is shown In
wonderfully sweet Pathe five reel feature,
Told at Twilight"
