"THE STORM" At the State Theatre, Thursday, Fri da \ and Saturday, September 14, 15 and 10. What the Chicago newspaper critics said about "The Storm"— The Tribune: "A picture they may well be proud of. It is big as a spectacle and fine as to detail. You should be thrilled and charmed by ‘The Storm.’ ” The Journal: " 'The Storm’ is one of the best pho toplays of the years." The Herald-Examiner: “Rarely have we seen a picture so well turned out." The Chicago American: "Here is a real thrill—something that will fairly take your breath away and make you catch at your throat. The lire i> REAL—a red, raving monster that beats the forest down before it like a bloody hurricane. I have never seen anything to equal it. I do not think I shall see its equal again soon." ‘ORPHANS OFTHE STORM' At the States Theatre—6 (lays—Sep tember 26 to 30. Because of love a king was deposed ami a republic born. D. W. Griffith presents “Orphans of the Storm” with Lillian and Dorothy Gish.

The climacteric moment in a story that runs the gamut of all human emo tions. See the fatal duel in the midst of a regal orgy. The love of the young aristocrat for the country-bred Hen rietta. The fall of the Bastille. The “Beast of Reason.’’ The Reign of Ter ror. D. \V. Griffith has pictured before your eyes the mad lawlessness of an uprising people—naked girls in foun tains of wine—mobs drunk with fury in the passionate Carmagnole. By all means see this most daring and startling production, for thrill fol lows thrill so fast that you can only slump in your seat and gasp and never forget. “NICE PEOPLE” At the Vcndome Theatre. Thusday. Fridav, Saturdav, September 14, 15 and 16. The way girls act nowadays it's hard to tell if they are all right or not. Today society approves what used to be vices. Sobriety and modesty arc extinct—exictement and speed arc the real necessities o flife. Even to the nice people of today, clothing is merely to be seen through and food something to be taken be tween drinks. It is the age of jazz. The “smart girl” of today removes her eigaret from her lips only to kiss and make up. Is this true of our modern jazz-mad voting people? See this picture that exposes their wild life in a glittering, sensational manner. “UN'S SACRIFICE” At the Vendome Theatre. Sunday, September 17, Corinne Griffith in "A W oman’s Sacrifice.” When men meet in combat in the far north it is usually a fight to the finish for man is a law unto himself in the open country.

Florence Mills will headline the bill at The Palace Theatre, New York. 1 next week, and then tour the entire Keith Circuit.
