William Farnum is always welcome
here. He is particularly welcome in
MS latest production, "The Heart of
A Lion, to be shown at the Republic

rest assured that there's going to be
sction on the screen and plenty of it.
That is what makes 1.-The Heart of A

found his own sweetheart in Dicks
arms. He takes refuge from civiliza-
tion among the forests and does his
best to forget everyone-his brother,
mis- sweetheart, even mis- God-among

There's no need to praise William
Farnum any farther than to tell the
story of the picture Anyone at all
familiar with his magnificent screen
portrayals will De able to see in an
instant how aptly and sbsorbngly ne
would act such story.
"The Heart of A Lion" is taken
from Ralph Connor's novel, 1.-The
