Report Of picture as seen Thurs

..The Oath" is a picture that
thinking people would appreciate
because It presents problems that
must be thought through and
about. which there is a wide diff
ference Of opinion.
The big question involved is
Should men and women of diff
ferent creeds marry and II they
do, can they be happy and con-
tented?"
The author of the story ans
wers 1t In part by asking another
question. DO not religion and
love make for the same goal
happiness?"
But this is only one phase OF a
very strong story which has many
dramatic situations portrayed in q
superb name by a splendid cast
with Marian Cooper In the lead
ing role.

:: R 3:
The Princess

AS seen this morning:
In the Beach OF Dreams" we
find an unusual story presenting
serious thought in which the
leading character Is first, seen as
a society woman whose ideals are
very high.
She becomes dissatisfied with
her life and its shams and decides
to go on a yachting trip and her
yacht is wrecked,
Then It is she meets a real man
who comes up to her ideal, but Is
no tin her social class and be-
cause OF this she does not marry
him.
The scenery is beautiful and the
story is very interesting and out
Of the ordinary.
Pathe News-Always good.
The comedy has to do with a
young fellow who tries to break
into the movies and some of the
situations are quite funny.
