Highest Law

Occa sionally there comes to
the screen photoplay which
can be consistently recommended to
every man, woman and child. Such a
one is the latest Selznick Picture,
1.-The Highest Law" which opens a
DAYS engagement at the Colonial
Theatre today.
The story is simple and becomes
doubly impressive by virtue of tins
very simplicity. 1t is merely the
faithful depicting Of an act of mercy
by a man who will forever remain
one of the outstanding figures in the
worlds history-Abraham Lincoln,
and in the role of the great emancl-
pator, Ralph Ince, who also directed
the production, once more demon
strates that he is entitled to be
classed with the greatest character
actors on stage or screen.
The story starts in the present day
and by aid of the "f1ashback" the
spectator is taken back to the days OF
the Civil War.
Staged with faithful attention to
detail and with a standard of tech
meal excellence that is Of the high l.
est. THE Highest Law" is one pic
ture that every member of every
family can see and profit greatly
thereby as it teaches lesson in hui
mainly by one of the greatest of all
teachers.
