ISLANDER THE WOMAN
is POWERFUL DRAMA
Scenes Laid in ow-Covered
Distances Of THE White
Frontier"

ISLANDER the Woman" the pic
ture attraction at the RyIander
Theatre on Monday and Tuesday,
is a powerful and human drama of
a woman's fight to erase the blot
that Others placed on her good

where a beautiful young woman
with a good name, blackened by
scandal, first goes to escape, then
to fight for her reputation, Sian
der the Woman" sweeps with
great dramatic intensity.
Almost from the first scene the
spectator finds himself caught in
the maelstorm of emotions that
engulf the players in the drama
and is carried along to its power
full md unexpected climax.

who innocently becomes involved in
scandal and when she leaves the
courtroom the good name and hon
or that she has treasured has been
taken from her. An ambitious
judge eager for publicity, has made
her sacrifice on The altar of his
fame-but not before she turns and
in terror, despair and hatred OF the
injustice of the thing, denounces
him and promises Just punish
ment for his actions. Then she
runs away to the far north coun-
try where people go-to forget
and be forgotten.
Against this picturesque back
ground the drama continues, stir

a woman's vengeance and wo-
mans love struggling for suprem-
acy, Dorothy Phillips, the star,
rises to dramatic heights in this
play til Allen Holubar has di-
rected within his usual skill. The
remainder of the cast includes
Geor-a Seigman, Rosemary Theby
and Cyril Chadwick
Many of the scenes Of SIAN
