Gaby Deslys, the fascinating French dancer, once the star of the Broadway success, "Stop! Look! Lis- ten!" returns to America in a wonr derful cinematic presentation of Marcel L'Herbier's "Infatuation."

And)an unusual twistthe woman who was the flame, becomes herself the fluttering, helpless moth. "Infatuation" Is a six-reel Pathe special feature and will be shown at the Grand theatre tonight and to morrow.
