"Thy Name is Woman" Thrilled
Hundreds at The Colonial Theatre

ISSteTudy'
Thy Name is Woman" is the dra-
matte comet of the year. This new
Fred Niblo production for Metro
opened last night at the Colonial
Theatre and had the audience al
most gasping for breath at the fire
of it's love scenes and the power of
its climaxes. The acting and atmos-
phere were SO vivid that every
spectator must have felt as if he
were being brushed by the comets
blazing trail.
The credit for this accomplish
ment appears to rest surely on the
shoulders of Mr.. Niblo and his cast
of players, the latter including such
favorites as Ramon Novarro, Bar
bara La Mari, William V. Mong,
Edith Roberts, Robert Edeson, Wal
lace Macdonald and Claire Mac
Dowell. That cast is one of the
strongest of the season. Certain it
is that no other combination of
players has succeeded in getting
over any better the Illusion of
reality.
The unusual chance for rich,
warm atmosphere with the back
ground of life in the Pyrenees has
been fully taken advantage of by
Mr.. Niblo. His exterior shots" are
of rare beauty, and the interior sets,
especially that of the smuggler's
cabin, are vivid and filled with in
teresting detail. Ben Care, the art
director, who advised in matters of
research.
The film is perturbation of Karl
Schoenherr's play, which, translated
by BENJAMIN Glazer. was played sue
cessfully on Broadway last season by
Mary Nash and Jose Rubens. 1t
will be shown for the last times
today at 2:15 and 7:15.-Adv.

JUNIUS EVANS TO Be
TRIED In FEBRUARY

James F. Alice, Jr., counsel fol
Junius Evans, colored, charged with
the murder of Christian Christen-
sen, a pOultryman, who resided near
Houston, last week made application
to the court for a continuance of the
case until the February term of
court, owing to absence of material
witnesses. The court granted the
request. Evans is alleged to have
killed Christensen when he went to
the poultryman's poultry houses sew
eral weeks ago. The farmer attempt
ed to protect his fiocks from thieves
and the killing is thought to have
resulted from this. Evans was sus-
pected the morning following the
murder, and two of his partners
confessed that they had started out
to hunt for "liquor" with Evans.
They said that they parted from him
shortly thereafter hearing shots.
When Evans learned that he was
suspected he made his escape in a
nearby woods. A search by a large
posse of men failed to locate him.
He was captured several weeks la
ter at a cannery at Seaford where !
he had been working. Evans is said |
to have confessed after his arrest |
that he shot Christensen, but later
his story. The Kent Coun-
" Grand Jury recently indicted him
for first degree murder.
