At Strand Theatre

There comes to the Strand theatre
today the latest Selzpick picture,
starring Eugene O'Brien. entitled
Worlds Apart" which for intense
heart interest, vividness of plot and
artistic direction, is said to be the
most altogether satisfactory vehicle
which this popular star has ever
had.
AS the story goes, the two prinei-
pal character. Eleanor Ashe ana
Hugh Ledyard, are introduced to
each other when, the latter rescues
the former from a suicides death.
Hugh has just been Tilted bv the
girl he was engaged 10 and out Of
pique marries Eleanor.
IT may be imagined that .wo
strangers, both smarting under the
''unkind arrow of outrageous for
tune" are rather unpleasant COM
pany for each other. and if drama
tic complications had not started to
crowd around their lives together
almost from the start. they would
have been in a fair way to hate
each other. However, when they
are both closely bound in a tangle
of circumstances which threaten to
swamp them. they come to appre-
ciate each other and the end is in
evitable.
Hugh finds happiness worlds
apart from where he first found it,
and his adventures take him through
many perilous paths through the
underworld and dens of Chinatown.
His adventures have a salutary ef-

-Four Big Stars at Crescent

To-day. tomorrow and Saturday
the management of the Crescent
theatre offers a program that is an
exception to the rule. This program
consists of pictures featuring four
OF the most popular stars in the
movies. They are Wallace Reid,
Eugene O'Brien. Elaine Hammer
stein and Fatty Arbuckle.
Eugene O'Brien and Elaine Ham
merstein appear in "Moonstone."
This is a picture that has always
created a sensation. 1t is one of
those productions that end all too
quickly. These two big stars ap-
pearing in a picture together are all
that al be desired. Fatty Ar
buckle appears in n of his best
two reel comedies and you are sure
to leave the theatre with a smile.
Wallace Reid in Whats Your
Hurry" is one of the best pictures
in which this popular star has ep-
peared in some time. Starting out
of a professional racing pilot, the
star shifts to motor trucks when the
father of a certain Virginia makes
it clear to him that he does not
want his daughter to marry a
speedster.
