Stars

The greatest talent in the motion
picture industry has been enlisted
in making THE Lotus Eater" an
Associated First National attraction,
which will begin an engagement Of
two days at the Opera House today.
Here is the evidence:
John Barrymore stars in it.
Marshall Neilan directed it.
Albert Payson Terhune wrote the
story.
George AIDE wrote the subtitles.
Wesley Barry, Colleen Moore, Anna
@. Nilsson, J. Barney Sherry, Ida
Waterman and Frank Currier are in
the supporting cast.
Because of this unusual combina-
ton of the best in every line, THE
Lotus Eater" is one of the most re-
markable productions ever made
But the story alone was sufficient to
guarantee the success of the picture.
The tale opens in the Mediter-
ranean, where some wonderful see
!
action is diverted to New York
City and then to Palm Beach, in
the haunts of the rich pleasure
seekers.
Finally the principals are trans
ferred to an island in the South
Seas population by persons who
have been shipwrecked and tossed
! upon the little garden spot in the
| Pacific.
| Acting, direction, story and titling
| have been blended into such per-
| feet production that 1.-THE Lotus
! Eater" has set a new standard in
motion pictures. 1t is a story of
tragedy, love, humor, adventure and
romance, woven together in such a
skillful manner that it reaches the
| heights of entertainment.

comedy feature. The Selznick News

excellent one.-Adv.

Yesterday morning Federal pro-

to the Tampa office but whose name
was not learned, came to Punta Gorda
with search warrants and searched
the homes of two colored people and
those Of John Bedford, O. Lancaster
and Joe Lancaster the latter being
well known citizens. The search of
o. Lancaster's home was made with
out warrant, the warrant being for
Joe Lancaster's home, where, it is
said, some liquor was found in a
trunk, Mr.. Lancaster being awav
from home at the time the seach took
place. A barrel of buck was found at
the home of an old colored woman
but no evidence of whisky was found
at the home of the other colored per-
son or at the homes of Messrs. Bodi-
ford and o. Lancaster The Fed
Ieral agent got Chief of Police
Adams to point out the houses he
wanted to locate, but Mr.. Adams SAYS
he had nothing to do with the mat
ter other than this and City Manager
Price says that the Federal agent
did not come here at his request or
at the request of any other city
officlal as far as he is aware. II is
presumed that the information on
which the warrants were issued was
made by some private individual and
that the warrants were issued at Fort
Myers. The prohibition agent left
word for Mr.. Lancaster to report@to
the Tampa officers as soon/as he re-
turned to town.
