"EARTHBOUND," POWERFUL
 DRAMA, AT THE ALCAZAR

"Earthbound'' is production that
 stands on the highest pinnacle of all attempts at the spiritual drama, either Oil the screen or the legitimate stage As
 the story reaches out into the unseen
 beyond human expression, so is the entire
 picture a thing undefinable and mex
 pressible. Passing with unutterable dig
 nifty amid beautiful and elaborate set
 tings acted by delft and perfect actors
 of the same dignity as the story and each
 renariSably selected for his or her part.
 The story is one that could best be
 termed as passionate spiritual drama It
 gins in an appeal to the lowest and
 most mortal part of the human nature in "a cynical creed drawn up by two friends and the illegitimate love of one for the
 others wife Then with the death and the experiences of the earthboupd spirit of the faithless friend the appeal is
 gradually changed to mans highest nature.
 The earthly passion that has held the man before death shorn of it's power by the dsembodiment of the entity, the real love of the mans nature returns to the wife of his best and purest love. Here the picture draws a most discrinina ting comparison between the two attractions. The woman who charmed the man is re- buked by the spirit as transparent spiritual arms are held out to clasp the wife in a love that has loutlasted the {, flesh.
 The remarkable scenes in Earth bound" are too numerous to mention. Two are startling, the death of the be- trayer at the hands of his best friend, the betrayed, and the spirit lowering over I the excitement. and the scene where freed from the earth by love and forgive ness the converted soul passes up and away. Wyndham Standing and Mahlon Hamilton are the principals.
