Coming to Strand

Az its attraction for three days,
beginning Monday, the Strand thea
tire has announced the Select Picture
Corporations, special production
"Pawned," made under the personal
supervision of J.. Parker Read, Jr.
Advance reports on the photoplay
warrant the statement that motion
picture patrons who are fond of mys-
terry, thrills and action will overlook
a bet If they fail to see this Offering.
"Pawned" is from a story by Frank
l.. Packard, among the best known
of Americas writer's of current fc
ton and especially dear to motion
picture devotees because of the sue
cess of his THE Miracle Man" as a
photoplay. The tale is frankly melo-
drama-but melodrama done in such
a way as to make the picture stand
out among the really worth while
and artistic productions of .he
screen.
The title comes from a series of
pledges, either willingly or unwilling
", made by the principal characters
One pawns his life to the service or
an international gambler. Another
pawns his soul to drugs, another to
drink, and the heroine pledges her
hand in marriage as a loveless bride
to save the life of the man she loves.
One needs no further Information to
convince them that the working out
of such a tangled skein is likely to re-
suit in intense and vivid photoplay
action.
Tom Moore and Edith Roberts are
featured in the interpreting cast.
Irwin v. Willatt directed the picture.
