unique in film production in that it was taken through the active coopera- tion of a branch of the United States defenses; the Marine Corps. Marine officers and men take part in the pres ertation of the play. The picture breaths the fervor of intense loyalty, and tells a story that is in itself a powerful sermon.
 The Unbeliever is the story of man who finds his faith in the smoke and din of battle. Phil Landicutt. a young American aristocrat, who has little faith in God, humanity or the broth erhood of man, joins the marines and once lover there" finds his unbeliefs are but shadows. and God, humanity and brotherhood are real. This super feature is based on Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews novelette,, The Three Things. There will also be a Thos. H. Ince feature and Pathe comedy And there will positively be no advance in prices for this special engagement.
