For the. feature attraction sundayf Monday and Tuesday the Breed will pre- sent Dustin Farnum in a carefully made and elaborate production of Alexander Dumas famous work ''The Corsican Brothers" As motion picture this production will rank as one of the screens Eruskest achievements and stamps Dustin Farnum as one of the most capable romantic actors of all time.
 To see this thrilling tale unfoided on the silver sheet is to see Dumas char acters brought to life. So realistically
 has the story been produced that one watches with almost breathless interest the highly dramatic scenes as they close ly follow one another. The spectator forgets that he is seated in a theatre and for the time being lives in Corsica
