 The Lamara is today finishing the engagement of the big program which is holding the screen at that popular playhouse. Mary MacLaren in "The Weaker Vessel" offers a most appeal ing story in the feature attraction. It tells of the reformation of an actor whose career has been blasted through strong drink, through the inspiration of the pure love of a girl whom he meets, and of his finally gaining the success that brought him happiness as well as happiness to the girl who became his wife. Mary MacLaren's role is a highly emotional one, which she handles to excellent advantage, and to which she brings that same artistry and per sonality that made her Shoes" 'The Amazing Wife" "The Unpainted Wo- man" and other productions top notch attractions. On the same program, as an added feature, there is being screened "The Crow" with Hoot Gibson in the leading role of a fast and thrill ing western drama
