ment during the American Civil
war.

STIRRING DRAMA AT

WESTHOLME THEATRE

Pauline Frederick in ‘‘Sold” at
the Westholme Theatre scores
one of her greatest film successes-
The story is intensely dramatic
and gives this famous actress a
golden opportunity to display her
wonderful power of emotional
acting. In her struggle to stay
by her artist husband in his bat-
tle against the commercialising of
art, she had the sympathy of the
entire audience. “A

The closing scenes are striking
and dramatic in the extreme. Her
husband, tortured by the thought
that she has sold herself to his
wealthy rival, is ready to commit
murder, but at last he under-
stands the great sacrifice his lov-
ing wife has made for his sake,
and all ends happily.

There is a splendid Eclair Ga-
zette and a first-rate comedy,
completing a very fine program.
Remember Saturday, January
29th is the last day of Bryant's
Sale.
