Moore's strand - stNine-Tenths Of
the LAW"

Two exceptional photoplays are
announced for presentation at
Moore's Strand Theater this week.
Beginning today and continuing
through Wednesday. the attraction
will be ''Nine-tenths Of the law" In
which the stellar role, that Of q
French-Canaoian woodsman, Is play
ed by Mitchell Lewis. The story OF
'Nine-tenths Of the Law concerns
possession OF a precocious child kid
mapped by a lawless neighbor OF the
honest Canuck whose wife is heart
broken over the death Of her little
baby. BY virtue OF events that trans
pire with entire logic and an unus-
ual degree of dramatic effect upon
the screen, the Kidnapped child fails
into the tender hands Of the lonely
mother. The developments by which
the youngster becomes the adopted
son Of the sorrowing halfbreed and
his faithful wife form the climac-
teric portion OF one of the most
gripping and one Of the most ma
jestically set film dramas OF tne
year.
For Thursday. Friday and Saturday
the outstanding feature OF the
strand bill will be George Loane
fuckers masterpiece of heart inter
est, Mother" in which the title role
In played with rare charm and sktil

D. W. Grifith's celebrated con-
tribution to the winning of the war
his film, Hearts of the World"
will be on view at the National
Theater this week, in difference TO
public demand on the occasion of its
previous showing here.
The production is a panorama Of the
great war and an intensive study of
the life of French village caught in
the throes of the fighting in Picardy.
Modern warfare is shown with re-
lentless realism, but there is a back
ground of love and romance to the
picture, making poignant contrast
between the peace and calm OF the
French countryside in July, 1914, and
the tragedy that engulfed it a few
weeks later. O..
