did such q remarkable piece of work
that in three months he rose to be
one of the worlds greatest motion
picture directors and now in THE
Devils Passkey" which will be the
big seven-reel feature at the Colonial
theatre today, he has even surpassed
his previous effort.
THE Devils Passkey" is, a story
of Paris, of an American playwright
and of his wife who loves fine clothes
and who becomes the center of much
scandal The situations as the story
develops, the keen interest. the sus-
pense that makes one almost rise to
his feet stamp this as one of the most
remarkable plays of the season. 1t
also proves the great ability Of Won
Stroheim.
