AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

Charming Ethel Clayton. the i'm
mensely popular star in World-Pic-
lures, will appear at the Republic
theatre tomorrow, in "A Soul Without
Windows. the latest World-Picture in
which Miss Clayton is seen in one of
the most delightful and pleasing roles
she has ever had.
This is picture that every motion
picture fan will enthuse over. 1t is a
story of Shaker colony in which a
little girl waif is brought up in the
Shaker faith. But the restraints of the
colony are unable to keep down her
bubbling spirits, her Unborn desire for
happiness and the bright, pretty things
of life. When wandering musicians
come to the colony and the girl hears
them playing she becomes entranced
by the music. Later she steals the vio-
lin from one of the players and from
it extracts strains that had never been
heard before. This genius for music
has vital affect on her later life ana
it has direct bearing on the climax
One of the most interesting features
of the whole drama is the identity of
The soul without windows" The
revelation of this individuals identity
comes as distinct surprise
"A Soul Without Windows" is a
grippingly interesting picture and it
is pleasing from start to finish. 1t is
altogether different and unusual 1t
is the sort of picture that one can
see again and again and never grow
tired of. Be sure that you see it when
il is shown at this theatre.
