(ITHE Great Gamble" the new
stunt serial of Pathe's
will be released in Omaha
next week. Charles Hutchinson
and Anne Luther are starring

them famous athletes and stunt
performers before a camera. The
Rex, Alhambra, Comfort, Orpheum
South Side, Suburban, Maryland
Park, Lyric, and Boulevard theaters

week for fifteen weeks.
I First, last, and all the time,
throughout its entire fifteen weekly
episodes, The Great Gamble" is a
Stunt" serial While it might
seem somewhat extravagant for the
House of Serials" to state that this
is the greatest stunt serial ever
produced, yet with onr intimate
, knowledge of every previous stunt"
serial offering we still are willing to
60 on record with the statement that
"The Great Gamble is, beyond any
questions of doubt, the greatest
stunt" serial ever produced.
1t is just one unending succession
OF daring, death -defying and hazard
ous stunts mainly performed by that
screen daredevil, Charles Hutchin-
son, who leaps across housetops,
scales lofty walls, climbs hand over
hand on clothes lines, fights ten
men at a time, dives over 100 feet
from the roof of grain elevator
into the river below, climbs like a
fly up the outside of houses, swims
through whrling rapids, jumps
from flying hydroplane into the
water and undertakes literally
hundreds of stunts new to serials.
Anne Luther is by no means back
ward at stunts either, one OF hef
most spectacular feats being a mad
ride over the river cliff by which
both she and her horse are pre-
cipitated into the swiftly running
stream sixty feet below.
Violet Heming has been engaged
by the Famous Players-Lasky cor

Walter Brownies morality play
"Everywoman," and is now on her
way to Hollywood, Cal, to start
work in the production.

studio that George Melford has
