Select Pictures' Great Special Attraction i THE IVUDMGHT PATROL 99 44 Produced by THOMAS H. INCE Temple Theatre, Nezperce Tuesday, April 1 Program for Next Week FRIDAY, MARCH 28. NORMA TALMADGE in "Safety Curtain" If the opportunity to cast your lot with a man who loved you and would care for you tenderly came to you after cruel and harsh treatment; came to you when the saftey curtain at the theatre, dropping- to shut out a fire from the audience, also shuts you away from your miserable past; and if you thought that, by drawing the safety curtain of silence and distance behind you as you fled to India with the man you loved, you would for ever leave the hateful past behind, what would you do? Would you sieze with both hands the happiness flung your way as Puck siezed it. Miss Talmadge plays the role of Puck, a little dancer in a London music hall. If you'll remember, Miss Talmadge was at the Tem ple Theatre 4 weeks ago. She is one of our biggest at tractions. Admission Prices: Children, 20c; Adults, 40c; Reserved Seats, 50c Synopsis SATURDAY, MARCH 29. MAE MURRAY in "Face Value" Lyons and Moran Star Comedy When "The Midnight Patrol," Select Pictures' great special attraction produced by Thomas H. Ince, is presented at the Temple Theatre on April 1st, moving picture patrons of this city will see one of the most thrilling- and sensational Chinese underworld stories ever produced on the screen. "The Midnight Patrol" is a vivid story of Chinese life in a western metropolis. Wu Fang, a wily Chinese, rules like a czar over the vice and lawlessness in his district; while Jim Murdock, a corrupt political boss, shares with him the infamous profits derived from the gaipbling- halls, opium dens and brothels. At the time the story begins the Chinatown police squad is under the command of Sergeant Duncan, whose two trusted assistants are Terrence Shannon and Mich ael O'Shea. During a raid on Wu Fang's den, Duncan is killed and Shannon is elevated to his position. Mur dock and his Chinese plotters fear Shannon's power and they attempt to discredit him by stirring up trouble among the tongs. Shannon foils their plans, however, which has the unexpected result of making him strong er than ever. About this time Murdock and Wu Fang are expect ing a shipment of opium. In order to safeguard its ar rival they tell Shannon that they are holding Patsy O'Connell, a young lady whom Shannon admires, cap tive in Wu Fang's den and that she will be harmed un less Shannon keeps out of the way until the shipment of opium is unloaded. Terrence believes that duty comes first, however, and leads a raid on Wu Fang's underground den. He is assisted by "Chink" Ross, a white man who, has been thrown down by Wu Fang. When Shannon breaks into Wu Fang 's den, Fang grapples with* him and overpowers him. Fang and his assistants then prepare to throw Shannon into a pit filled with live rats. Just at this time O'Shea rush es in with the reserves and saves Shannon and Patsy O'Connell from the horrible death that Wu Fang had planned for them. Wu Fang is killed and Murdock is captured. Shortly after this fete Shannon is made chief of police, but not until he î£nd Patsy have discovered their love for each other. "Whose Baby arc You. ' Universal Weekjly Current Events.
