''E'he Confession" Is
 Wonder Picture; at
 Grand Theatre Soon

"The Confession" which will be shown at the Grand theatre April 27 and 2S, has been proclaimed by all who have witnessed it the wonder picture of the age It is a story of tense dramatic action, of wonderful scene effects and has the added value of being decisive moral messenger.
 The story deals with a confession made to a priest of a murder by the guilty man; of the accusation of the holy fathers brother as the guilty one; of the priests sacred silence regarding the confession when word from him would clear his brother and of his fervid belief in the justice of the Almighty in the fact of all ob- stacles.
 The grandclimax visualizes tie faith of the believer and pictures a great and lasting truth.
 The picture is replete with action, the acting is superb, that of Henry Walthall as Father Bartlett in partic- ular, and the scene effects are won derful. The direction has been eX. pertly handled by Bertram Bracket and it stands out as the greatest rho. toplay masterpiece of the age.
 "The Confession" has received the unalloyed praise of all who have re viewed it.

MT. War wick's leading woman is Ann Little, famous as the heroine of many of the William s. Hart pictures. Wanda Hawley, who has supported several Paramount-Artcraft stars, including Wallace Reid, and Eileen Percy, lead ing woman. for Douglas Fairbanks, are cast in important roles. The male support is equally meritorius. Tom Forman, who recently returned from service and played in Cecil B. de Miles For Better, For Worse" has the part of the stars younger brother. Charles Ogle, Margaret Loomis, Mon- te Blue, Hart Hoxie, and Jack Her bert, maintain the high standard.

spair to a bold piece of daring; her daring in to real danger, and that dan ger, straight as a dart, into the arms of man who becomes her best be- loved.
 Mixed up in these dramatic pro- ceedings are a bay and a park bench derelict; a scheming butler and a masquerading nurse; a grasping real estate broker and an open-handed philanthropist; human Sponge" and an almost human kitten. The unique talent that caused all the trouble in the first place proves in the end the instrument through which the happy denOuement is brought about; but what that talent is, and just how it moulds the destiny of the heroine, is something for the screen alone to dis close. Suspense is a vital element in the telling of this tale of love and plots and mystery.

1.-THE HONEY BEE" AT EAGLE

Mime. Marguerita Silva, grand opera prima donna of world renown, in the role of the heart-hungry heroine in a splendid screen version of Samuel Merwin's novel, "The Honey Bee" is the big attraction at the Eagle thea tre today and Monday. The produc- tion opened its engagement yesterday at the Central and scored a distinct hit with the large "first-night" au- dience to welcome the diva to Screen dom.
 In her support are enlisted several outstanding personalities of the screen, more than enough to justify stance, Thomas Holding and Nigel Barrie, two popular leading men. There is Albert Ray. that gifted youthful comedian, who with Elinor Fair has regaled us with some de lightful domestic skits. George Her nandez and Harvey Clark, two other recognized experts in the art of tick ling the disabilities, are also there So are pretty Charlotte Merriam Ethel Ullman, Dell Boone, Ruth Mau rice and Harry Ten brook.
 Present also is the famous ex champion Kid Mccoy. And he's there to some purpose! If you'll take il from a fellow-fan hailing from Ye Sporting Editors lair, the prize-fight in which he exchanges courtesies with Nigel Barrie is the twenty-four caret variety. And if you'll take it from one who knows nothing about the sci entific side, but knows what she likes" and loves a fight that IS 6 fight, those four brisk rounds made one of the most interesting and thrill ing scraps ever caught by the cam era's eye.
