Col. w. II. Holmes, state superin-
tendent Of game for the department of

''PRICE OF REDEMPTION"
is LYTELL'S NEW FILM
Popular Metro Star Coming to the
Opera House in Dramatic Story
of India

Bert Lytell, the popular young
Metro screen star, will be the attrac-
ton at the opera house Friday in
"The Price of Redemption" a pic
turization of I. A. R. Wylie's famous
novel, 'tThe Temple of Dawn" Mr..
Lytell's new vehicle is said to surpass
all Of his previous pictures in that it
shows the wreck of strong man and
his redemption through the love of a
little child.
The story of the Lytell picture is
that. of Leigh Dering, a young English
officer who saves the garrison at Fort
Akbar, India, from determination
during native uprising, and is there
by acclaimed hero. A year later in
London he marries a wealthy girl,
but it is loveless match. Thus, dis
illusioned and turned to drink, he at
length assumes the guilt of another's
wrong and leaves London for India
with the brand of a murderer upon
him. Back in India, Dering sinks to
the depths in drink and drugs, living
hunted life in 5rothel from which
he only emerges after dark.
1t is in this state that his wife, now
married to another, finds him upon
her journey to India, and it is his lit
I tie boy who awakens him to sense of
honor and shame. And bit by bit,
under the incubus Of soul destroying
habit, and the gives of drug affliction
he fights his way back to the clean
world of clean men. 1t is the mas
terly portrayal of wrecked and regen-
Grated humanity that endows Mr.. Ly-
tells creation of Leigh Dering with
dts truly great qualities, stamping it
as screen creation of permanent
value.
Supporting the star are Seena
Owen, Cleo Madison and Landers
Stevens. Dallas M. Fitzgerald direc-
ted the picture and Sol Polito photo
