s'THE MIRACLE MAN"
A SCREEN MASTERPIECE

''The Miracle Man" opened a weeks
engagement at the Strand theatre yes
terday and was seen by perhaps the
this year.
1.-THE Miracle Man is worthy of being
one Of the greatest productions ever
screened. Many have said that it is
the best picture they have ever seen.
More than anything elese, the film is
a powerful sermon on faith and it pre-
sents drama of gripping and terse
throughout. The superb pathos, the mag
nificent scenic effects and the most I'M
usual manner in which the spectators are.
brought into the atmosphere of the theme
to feel and see as do the characters OF
the story, makes the picture a wonder
full attraction. It's theme presenter
through the artists entrusted with the
leads makes it almost Incompatible.
Then there is the moral. 1t is driven
home squarely and in a most gripping
manner
The picture is intense throughout. And
it leaves a feeling of complete salts
faction. 1t is a spectacle drama, a
romance an artists work and a SER
mon all in one
The five leading roles handled in a
masterful way by Thomas Meighan, Bet
ty Compson. Lon Cheney. J. NJ. Dunont,
and ]. ]. Bowling. The work of Miss
Compson is easily the best she has ever
done and reflects to her all the credit
due an artist of the highest type
'The Miracle Man" is a drama of faith
that works miracles So intense is the
power of faith portrayed that even the
four debauched creatures of the under
world who seek to turn it into easy
money are won over from the blackness
of their lives.

fered many humorous situations.
Miss Diana Bonner, Coincidence, gave
evidence of having a voice unusual to
vaudeville in the song numbers she Of
fered. Formerly she was with the Chi
cago Grand Opera company. Jack and
Kitty Demaco entertained with an ar
tistic scenic novelty and the Randalls,
sensational sharpshooters, closed the
programme. an exhibition of shooting
with rifles and pistols that showed rare
skill.
