"DECEPTION"

Deep, abiding woman's love for a
tickle king is the keynote of De
ception," a remarkable Paramount
picture which is to be featured Oc-
tober s, 8 and 10 at the Liberty the
atre. Henry Porten and Emil Jan
nings, two of the most celebrated
screen stars of Europe, where the
picture was filmed, have the leading
roles, those of Anne Boleyn, the
Queen, and Henry VIII, King of
England.
Miss Porten vests the role of Anne
with impressive majesty and dra-
matte force, while Mr.. Jannings, as
the deceitful monarch and hero of a
hundred more or less savory love
affairs, is artistic in the highest de-
gree. Anne's beauty wins her a
throne, but Henry's ardor soon cools
and many scenes of great dramatic
power ensue Throughout her trials
following the birth of a daughter.
when Bluff King Hal had expected
a son and heir, Anne's love for her
lord and daughter sustain her reg
ally and render her impervious to
SANDER, deception and treachery.
Although the scenes are laid in
England during the Reformation, its
appeal will hold a modern audience
as any old master painting enthuses
lover of art.
