Action Is the keynote of the sec
ond Katherine Newlin Burt photo
play, "Snowblind," which will be
shown this week at the Sun theater.
Like the authors previous picture,
"The Branding Iron," "Snowblind"
deals with people who live close to
the soil, this time in the Canadian
northwest, and know none of the
softer sentiments with which city
folk regulate their lives.
From this story Reginald Barker
has made a powerful photoplay. With
a picked cast that includes such
sterling actors as Russell Simpson,
Pauline Starke. Mary Alden and Gull
len Lands, "Snowblind" is one Of
the best acted photop1ays that Gold
wyn has yet made.
"Snowblind" is. in substance, a
story of first love in the wilderness
which leads to the regeneration of a
man whose entire life has been spent
in evading the law. How the fugi-
tive, who previously had recognized
no authority but that Of his own
strength, is made to realize the
power of great love, makes beau-
tiful and thrilling story. It has been
splendidly directed by Reginald
Barker.
Empress-"Out Of the Chorus" and
Lure of Youth"

.swore that the murder had been his
doing-to pay back an old score.
