IS PLEASING PICTURE
Feature Picture at the Washington
and Gem Audiences - Is Re.
peated Again Today.

"The Conquest of Canaan, feature
picture at the Washington and Gem
Theaters yesterday greatly pleased
and is repeated today.
In the town Of Canaan and its sub
urbs lived two factions-one eminent
ly respectable, led by Judge Martin
Pike, the other quite the opposite, rep
resented by Joe Lounden. Brought
up with the corrupt political ring of
Beaver Beach, Joe defied the conven-
tions Of Canaan and was regarded as
an irreclaimable outcast. Ariel Tabor,
the village tomboy, shared Joe's fate
and like him she is the laughing stock
Of the town,
Mamie Pike. daughter of the stern
Judge, would have liked to play with
Ariel and Joe, but the rules Of her set
forbade this. Gene Louden, Joe's half
brother, loves Mamie, but makes little
progress with her. Joe's manly figure
has impressed Ariel and she fingers in
thought over him. One day her uncle
dies, leaving her an ample fortune.
, She goes to Paris to study and her last
word to Joe was ito make good in
spite Of them" Joe decides to make
good and going to the next town. he
begins the study Of law when neces-
sity does not compel him to work in a
restaurant.
Years pass. Joe has been admitted
to the bar and opened an Office in
Canaan where he protects his ignorant
friends at the Beach who are constant
ly in litigation. One day Ariel re-
turns from abroad, beautiful and fash
ionably dressed. Joe watches the pub
lie reception in her honor, and his hes
itation to speak to her prompts her to
go to him and press some flowers in
his hand. About this time, Happy Far
ley, driven to desperation by his flirta-
tons wife, slays Nashville Cory.
