NAZIMOVA TO BE SEEN
IN "THE RED LANTERN
Famous Star In Remarkable Play at
the Strand Theatre.

Nazimova, the distinguished Rus
sian star, will be the feature in the
powerful Metro s~uper-feature, THE
Red Lantern" at the Strand Theatre,
on Oct. LIST. In it she is seer in a
dual role, which gives her opportunity
for the most powerful characterize
lions of her brilliant career.
The two roles which she enacts are
as widely different as the poles-one
is that of the Eurasian girl, Mahlee,
and the other Blanche, her English
half-sister.
The story tells of the life of this
half-cast girl, who, born in a coffin
shop in the Chinese quarter of Pekin,
is at the death of her grandmother,
taken to the Christian Mission and
brought up amidst European surround
ings. The conflicting blood which
surges in her veins cause her pas
Sionate reStleSsneSs-she feels the lure
of China, the mysterious and passion
ate land of her mother, but the inner
itance of her English father, the ideals
and intellect of the West, are strong
within her and she is like a ball in
the hands of Fate-1ung from one ex-
IRENE to the other.
How she becomes the powerful War
Maiden of Climatic Goddess of the
Red Lanterns shown in this play of
remarkable and startling happenings
where all the mysticisms and gorg-
eousness of the vivid East is woven
into a powerful and fascinating drama.
The lure of the Purple Forbidden City
the customs and superstitions of Sc
cret China-the gorgeous ~pageantry
and pomp which surrounds the Orient
with golden glamour is shown with a
touch of magic which brings
to life.
The production is one of clever ar
tistry with a star of rare genius who
is ably supported by such noted play
ers as Darrell Foss, Noah Beery,
Frank Currier, Winter Hall, Mrs. Nc
Wade, Virginia Ross, Edward J. Con-
nelly, Amy Van Ness, Harry Mann,
William Eagle Eye, Yukio 40 Yamo.
The production was directed by Albert
Capellani and produced under the per-
sonal supervision of Maxwell Karger,
director-general.

"THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS"
Mr.. sparao at His Best in Talk Last
Night.

An audience that filled the hall OF
the Young Women's cub was given
a rare treat last night when John
Spargo delivered an address on The
League OF Nations.
Mr.. Spargo reviewed the history OF
such efforts to combine the leading
powers of the world in league to in.
sure peace. showing that this is no
new conception. In the past all pro-
posed leagues have come to naught
by reason OF the very same action
that is so loudly advocated by some
OF our Congressman today, viz, de-
ferring the formation OF Il League un-
til after a treaty OF peace has been
concluded.
He made his audience see how easl-
ly history might be repeated and he
also made clear the awful significance
of the defeat of this present endeavor
TO secure League. Mr.. Spargo then
took up the arguments that have been
brought against it, point by point. and
showed most conyincingly how
groundless they were. "Entangling
alliances" "surrendering our sover-
eign rights" taking from Congress
the power to declare war; and all the
other bugaboos our politicians have
conIured up, were dealt with In sue
cession, and shown to be without
foundation In fact.
In concluding, Mr. Spargo pictured
the state OF anarchy that is certain TO
follow If the high hope OF the masses
in all countries for League OF Ma
tions is defeated, yet ayowed his firm
faith that wise and righteous coun.
sells will prevail here in America and
across the water.
AS an able exposition Of subject
that is rightly foremost in the
thoughts of all our people, the lee.
ture was one OF the very best that
has been given in bennington. and
the Club is most grateful to Mr.. Spar
so for his generous kindness in pre-.
seniing it to them and their friends.
