"Kazan"

The attraction at the Central thea
ire tonight and Saturday and at the
Eagle theatre Sunday and Monday
be- ''KaZan," a photodrama described
as extraordinary" from the pen of
James Oliver Curwood, an author who
won undying fame for his Back in
Gods Country and 1.-THE Rivers
end and "Nomads of the North"
This product of the Curwood knowl-
edge of the Far North and of natural
history is being presented by George
II. Hamilton. The title used is the
same as that made famous by the au-
thor in his remarkable tale of the
great wolfdog known as "Kazan the
Killer" and the story has TO do with
a gripping tragedy and love affair
which wander through many hooks
and corners of a Northern Wilderness
little known to man. The piece de re-
sistance of this unusual photoplay is
the wonderful lesson of faithfulness
taught by the dog ''KaZan."
An excellent cast interprets the
various picturesque characters in this
photoplay. Jane Novak and Ben Dee
ley, in the two leading roles, are at
their best, while Edwin Wallock gives
memorable characterization of
BLACK" McCready, the hardened Grim
inal of the North Country. William
Ryno and Ben Haggerty are other
members of the cast. Bertram Brac-
ken directed the production.

some more cookies upon me.
When he asked what things -

entirely by curiosity. for I never
again expected to see a millionai-e
