THE CUP OF LIFE

Since Marco Polo first dared the hidden dangers of uncharted oceans to journey his way from Europe to the mysterious shores of India ard the Orient, the colorful kingdoms and empires lying somewhere east of Suez" have beckoned the ad- venturer with the lure of beauty, romance and glamour.
 Singapore, the trade center of the Orient, port of ancient traditions and modern business, where today rubs shoulders with yesterday, is the alluring background of Thos. H. Ince's latest special production, The Cup of Life, which is announced as the feature to be shown at the Col iseum tomorrow night.
 The story is a tremendous drama of a fathers love for his son and of the unjustifed vengeance of pow erful Chinese merchant prince. De- Hghtfully combined with a delicate love story, and scenes of stirring ac- ton, are revealed the fundamental differences that will forever separ- ate the Orient from the Occident- the dividing line of races.
 1 The cosmopolitan atmosphere of Singapore has been exploited to the fullest advantage in attaining pow erful and effective contrast, and in reaching the tremendous dramatic situations which feature the produc- ton. TOMORROW ONLY
