DOUBLE FEATURE BILL AT THE
 STRAND TO-DAY INCLUDES TWO EXCEPTIONAL PICTURES

Warner Brothers Strand theater is presenting all exceptional double fea- ture program to it's patrons starting to-day, for three days. Headlining the bill is '"rhe Sunrise Trail" star ring Bob Steele.
 Steele portrays most thankless role, but executes 1t to perfection. It is complete departure from his usual run of impcrsonations. He is what is to-day known as q "stool pigeon.' although is those days 1t was given the name of "star-pack- er." It becomes necessary for him member of the sheriff's forces to join a cattle-rustiing gang. worm his way into its inachinations, gain their confidence, and subsequently secure evidence i;I order to convict them of their criminal operations. It is a role in which danger and evil as well as romance and love are necessarily mingled, but the combination results in good for the community and the exoneration of the hero. Miss Mehaffey is the heroine, depicting the role of d jus tified murderess who flees to dis putable tavern so that she may hide from justice; Clifford is the lovable outlaw whom Steele befriends, and Dunn is the cattle-rustleds' head.
 The companion feature on the bill is screen adaptation of Sir Wal ter Scott's immortal poem "The Lady of the Lake"
 The cast of British and American players is headed by Percy Mar mont and Benita Hume. The for mer seen to advantage in "Mantrap,' The Light That Failed" "Infatu- ation, and other outstanding pro- ductfons, has the role of King James V. of Scotland, and wears the cos- tunes of that worthy-traveling in cognito as wandering hunter and
