The grade was rather narrow at this point and the truck had not turned out of the road sufficiently to allow the other car to pass, although the doctor thought he had got by alright until the bump came.

Star Theatre The management takes great pleasure in announcing that NAZIMOVA • —in—“THE RED LANTERN” will be shown at THE STAR THEATRE AUGUST 27 This production is considered by the press and public as the greatest achievement in the Star’s career. Founded upon the theme of that philosophy so ably expressed by Kipling that east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet. It presents a truly impressive tale of the Orient. China, the land of mystery—China, the country of the Forbidden City— China, the land of ancient philosophy and religion, is the background of this fantastic tragi-romance. When our patrons come to see “The Red Lantern” they will look upon a breath of this mysterious country, they will gaze upon the Forbidden City and the tragedy that is enacted within its ancient walls. And Nazimova as an Eurasian through Whose veins courses the blood of mixed races so that there is an eternal conflict of soul, will hold you spell-bound with the artristry of her impersonation, you will see her in a dual role which fs as widely different as the two poles, and when you leave the theatre we feel sure you will exclaim, “There is an actress}” “There is a motion picture!” “The Red Lantern” contains everything that makes a big photoplay. It has a fine pictorial appeal brought out in vivid and colorful backgrounds and a fascinating story that is logically told and capably acted. If you are looking for rare entertainment, we advise you not to miss Nazimova in “The Red Lantern” at the Star Theatre, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27. Admission on this date, 20 & 35c, war tax Included.
