LILA LEE SEEN IN
Al DIFFERENT ROLE
Star is Excellently Cast in ae
: 'Rustling Bride"

Lila Lee, dinlinutive Paramount
star, has an entirely different role
from that of her preceding pictures
in her latest picture "Rustling a
Bride" which viii be shown at the
Nogales Theatre Today.
Although the public has only seen
four of her pictures, she is already
one of the most popular stars in the
profession. In this, here latest pro-
duction, Miss Lee portrays the role
of a little girl of the West-a typical
outdoor girl who is as much at home
in a saddle as the modern society
belle is in limousine.
Miss Lee is an expert horse-woman
and pronounces this picture one OF
the most enjoyable she has yet made
Her work in this characterization is
excellent and it doubtless will out
rank all her other efforts.
An excellent story and the most
realistic atmosphere and settings
have been provided to make this pic
ture one of the best the star has yes

on a throne in Hawaii the Britisher
removed to San Francisco with his
family, and reared them to manhood
and womanhood. Before they reach
ed their majority Hawaii deposed the
monarchy, overthrew the throne and
established a republic. That was
while this family of four children
were still in their teens. Then. while
they were still minors Hawaii became
an American territory, and they all
supposed that they became American
Citizers by nativity. But the Az Cf

four minors OF which this relation is

They were residing in California.
But they were not aware of the dis
tlnctlon made in the Act Of Congress
with regard to Hawaii. Nor did they
become aware until one of them doing
business in Mexico applied for a
passport. Nor could they unite the
Gordian knot by making application
for naturalization and being granted
citizenship in dine form before "A COM

no potentate or power TO whom they
could claim allegiance fol- adjuration
So the State Department at Washing

a passport to the gentleman as an
American citizen; but it took some
little time to bring it all about.
