"Joan The Woman" at Columbia

Joan the Woman" the story of :he life of Joan of Arc, the worlds most famous feminine character comes to the Columbia theater for three days, | starting today and gives Phoenicians an opportunity to see this great lue lived in reality by Geraldine Farrar. who plays the leading role
 The life story of Joan of Arc is prob ably too well known to need portrayal here. Suffice to say. the production Is historically correct, even to the most minute detail, according to the works of leading historians. Joan the Wom- an,' shows the famous character as very human indeed. a woman suffering all the emotions of womanhood but foregoing them all for Franco. Here Is shown: not the sanctified leading of armies by goddess. but the suffering and travail of d woman to bear Ie.v life to a nation
 In Joan the Woman is all the trag- edy and beauty of life So truly is it staged and so universally fascinating is the life of the Maid of Orleans that We live the picture as it passes before us. The plot has very truly been so constructed that it connects the story with the present times.
 The story opens with prologue A so"n5 blItiSii Soiulef llSnt1nS on the western front discovers strange sword of the Fourteenth century type in one of the trenches. While he is eX- amining ii, a call comes for volunteer to blow up certain enemy trench at midnight The Briton falls asleep and before him passed the vision of Joan of Arc. In this vision. he is Eric Trent, a gallant English captain fighting with | ms King to conquer France from Charles VII. He is wounded and a strange peasant maid, Joan, finds him and binds his wounds, saving his life. It is while she is examining his gaunt- | let that she sees the vision that takes | her to the court as the destined Savior of France.
 Battle scenes arc wonderful and con ducted on gigantic scale. probably more spectacular than anything >here- tofore done before a camera and d whole lot more real than most picture scenes.
 In addition to Geraldine Fsrrar. the cast includes such prominent stars IS Hobart Bosworth. Wallace Reid. Theo- dore Roberts. James Neill Charles Clary. Fully Marshall. Larry Peyton. Horace E. Carpenter. Lillian Leighton. Marjorie Daw, William Conklin and others too numerous to mention. The director was Cecil E. DeAIille. which means that there is nothing to be dc : sired in this respect

 This is the final days showing for Mae Murray in Her Body in Bond which has been at the Hip for two days. It is a very clever story of a girl who tried to be good and support her sick husband in Arizona. but who found that her beauty was stumbling block to success and that she was to be bartered and sold like so much pret- ty wear on the bargain counter. She did the right thing at that and the story tells how she did it and how she saved the sick boy away out here on the desert where he was battling to get back his health that he too might hell to keep the wolf from the door,
