TUESDAY. "Exploits of Elaine" This Is one of the best of the episodes in this fine serial seen up to date.

scenes in this big production. In fact it is 5,000 feet of laughs and thrills.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Probably the best of the Lasky releases, "The Only Son," has' a deeper significance than the others and is closer to the human heart.
