...-U.w.sr,Hn~ -

Deception" the great screen
masterpiece that depicts that most
vivid episode in English history
the romance OF Henry VIII and the
beautiful. pathetic court beauty.
Anne Boleyn-has proven one OF the
greatest photoplay attractions ever
exhibited at Eoew's Columbia The
alter. and it is due to the over
whelming public demand for fur
ther showinCs Of this great royal
epic that the management of the
Columbia has decided to retain the
production for a second great week,
beginning this afternoon.
Deception" has been conceived
on one of the most mammoth scales
that ever entered into motion pic
ture production. Such historic edi-
fees as Westminster Abbey and
Hampton Court have been repro
duced to furnish an authentic ana
moving background for the main
theme Of the story.
Probably no artistic medium has
ever given such a faithful and in
innate portrait of the times Of the
Tudors in England as this great
screen conception. 1t depicts, with
relentless realism. the lust of femi-
nine conquest that actuated Henry
VIII in his rejection OF Queen
Catherine in favor OF her beautiful
lady-in-wsiting. Anne Boleyn.
This mighty production, which
amazed New York during its run
of four solid weeks. promises to set
some new Washington records for
motion picture enthusiasm. and in
its presentation at Loew's Columbia
has been made in a program setting
of exceptional beauty and appeal.
