At The Theatre
At Topic AirdOme Saturday.

"Tinsel," the new World-Picture, is
d tale of modern times. 1t is jam
packed with interest an entertainment
and with everything that you enjoy in
photoplay. Kitty Gordon, the star
in this production, outdoes herself in
the role of the Princess Sylvia Car
zoni Supporting Miss Gordon are
Muriel Ostriche in the role of Ruth
Carmichael; Frank Mayo, in the
character of Jefferson Kane, and
many other popular and famous film
favorites. The story is of the manner
in which the Princess Sylvia, divorced
wife of Richard Carmichael, gets her
daughter, Ruth, to live with her in
stead of with Carmichael, and then
introduces Ruth to the world and the
various types of men in the world.
1t then goes or to tell of the way
that Ruth reacts to these new ex-
periences and of the way that she
proves her true worth. "Tinsel' is a
fascinating story and an unusual
story. AS interpreted by Miss Cor
don and the cast appearing with her
it takes rank as one of the best pro,
ductions of the season. "Tinsel' is
interesting and entertaining from
start to finish. There isn't a single
dull moment in the production. You'll
enjoy it when you see it on Saturda.
