Audience.

Theatre goers here will be offered
some very classy programs during

issue after the opening night:
In one of the most pretentious film
dramas ever presented in Pittsburgh
Annette Kellermann, sea nymph, APP
peared last night at the Pitt theatre
in the opening performance of "The
Daughter of the Gods" a film specta-
Gle worthy Of superlatives. The NOV
lie swept the audience by its sheer
bigness, while the tale itself is one
of the most fancifully told chronicles
that has ever appeared on the screen.
Miss Kellermann was present III
person last night and spoke from the
stage. 1t was the first time she had
seen the completed film drama. "1he
Daughter of the Gods" is fairy tale,
wistful and fantastic, with moments
of dramatic suspense when Miss hcl-
hermann enters upon series of wat
err adventures as a mermaid" The
tale deals with the love of the mer-
maid for the son of a Sultan anC
their final union in fairyland.
Part of the film is symbolic, anc
the charm of the summer land of the
| island of Jamaica, where the film was
made. Surprises there are plenty TO!
movie fans" and the film is wei
worth seeing.
