Viola Dana Today
At The Colonial
in "The Willow Tree"

And who,h has not heard of THE
Willow Tr&e?" AS stage success
under the auspices of Cohan & Har-
ris it ran weeks on end as a Broad
| way production and proved one Of
the greatest hits ever attempted, It
has now been prepared as photo
play by Screen Classics Inc, and
will be seen today at the Colonial
theatre as the feature attraction.
The screen production of THE
Willow Tree" has been conducted
| along unusually lavish lines no ex-
pense having been spared to make
the perturbation of the famous play
the undoubted success on the screen
that it was on the stage. The scene
of the play is laid in quaint old Jap
an. and the settings for this were an
unusually costly feature of the pro-
duction. No pains and expense were
spared to recreate the Orient. the
land of the rising sun, where most OF
the action of THE Willow Tree"
trarSpires.
Viola Dana, who plays the stellar
role in the picture, is one Of the fore
most stars on the screen. Her fol-
lowing has so rapidly increased
through her dainty and appealing
characterizations that she has come
a drawing card Of high power
wherever her pictures are shown.
THE Willow Tree" is a production
fully worthy of her talents and
charm.
The story has to do with Ned
Hamilton, young Englishman, who
quarrels with his f1ancee, and then
learns that she has engaged herself
to another and a richer man, a Lord |
Fawkestone. Crazed with grief, he
leaves London for far-away Japan.
resolving that he will bury himself in |
the land where the paper lanterns |
glow, and forget everything. Once |
in Japan he meets an old wood car
YER who has an image of a beautiful |
girl, about which there is a weird |
legend. Hamilton at length buys the |
image and carries it home with him, |
where that night he tests out the |
legend that the image will come to |
life If there is mirror placed in |
its arms. True to the legend, the |
image comes to life, and Hamilton |
falls deeply in love with it. Later. !
when the war comes, the Japanese |
maid has herself changed into the !
image again, and Hamilton returns |
to England.
This is the tender and appealing
story which is woven into a photo
play of the rarest charm. Always |
back of each laugh. Is comedy Of the |
most delicious kind, is a heart throb |
for the little Japanese maiden who |
loved a man of an alien race. It is |
the sweetest Of fantasies. and the
prettiest of legends. 1t Is the .Orient, |

"Blind Husbands"
At Opera House
For Two DAYS

What is perhaps the most awe
inspiring scenery ever recorded by
the. motion picture camera is seen in
Blind Husbands" the Universal
photodrama of the Tyrolean Alps
which comes on Friday and Satur-
day to the Augusta Opera House.
The photodrama stars Eric Stro-
helm, formerly of the Austrian army,
in the role that will add to the ha-
tired aroused by his part of the bru-
fist Hun officer in THE Heart of HUI
mainly"
Stroheim depicts the role Of Lieu
tenant Won Steuben of the Austrian
army. He goes to a fashionable AL
pine resort to prey on all woman
kind.
Through suave mock courtesy and
strictest attention to her smallest
, wants he breaks down the barrier of
her reserve and leads her into a mild
filtration.
Failing to ruin the life Of a beau
tiful American girl, although he
nearly accomplishes his vile pur-
pose, Won Steuben directs his atten-
ton to the humble girls of the AL
pine village and brands their simple
souls with his hot passion.
His downfall comes when he
launches his puny strength against
the might of the eternal mountains
Supporting Stroheim is the beau
tiful Francelia Ellington and the
following cast of widely known Uni
versal players, Sam DECREASE, H.
Gibson Gowland, Valerie Germon-
PREF and Jack Perrin.
Blind Husbands" presents a
never to be- forgotten contrast of the
quiet majesty Of the mountains with
the baseness of human desires.-Adv.
