NAZIMOVA TO BE SEEN
IN "EYE FOR EYE
Celebrated Star in Famous BeIgians
Play Announced For KenwOrthy
Theatre.

Eye for Eye" a screen drama of
the intense and colorful life of the
far east in which the supreme ac-
tress, Nazimova. is seen in the fiery
role of HaSsouna, a young and beau
tiful Arab girl, will be the feature
at the Kenworthy theatre on Monday
and Tuesday.
One of the many unusual features
which this picture contains is the
real circus which was assembled
by Director Capallani. All the
phases of circus life will be seen by
the audience-not only that of the
ring where the performers are at
work, but hat also of their private
life and in the travelling wagons in
which they move from town to town.
All the acts which will appear on
the screen are known to circus goers
of America and were engaged to per-
form in the regular manner for the
benefit of the camera.
A large tent was pitched and then
the ring master opened his perform
ance with the usual grand entrance
parade and blaring brass band. There
were the clowns, the lions, elephants,
camels, tigers, bareback riders, and
tightrope walkers. Then zane the
fat woman, the living skeleton, the
two-headed man and all the freaks
with which circus goers are familiar.
The browning act, however, was the
Dance of the Wells by Hassouna.
So realistic was the show that All
the small boys of The vicinity thought
that it was the real thing and were
than disappointed to learn that
they could not gain admittance.

strategy known only to the small boy,
and to them it was just the same as
