THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

1.-THE Ooath," the R. A. Walsh pro-
duction for Associated First Nation
al Pictures, Inc, which opens at Rex
theater Thursday for two days
showing, contains a scene which has
been hailed by critics as being the
most dramatic that has ever been
filmed or staged. A series of fast
moving, interesting circumstances
has involved Hugh Colman in a sit
uation where his conviction for MUIR
der is absolutely certain unless he
breaks an oath given to his wife
when he had secretly married.
But there is another woman whom
he has loved. Although her love has
been given to his dearest chum, she
makes the greatest sacrifice woman
can make to save Hugh from the gal
lows and succeeds. The scene is one
Of the strongest ever put into a mo-
ton picture production, and the
tangled net which results from her
action in the lives Of four persons
provides a most absorbing double
