Olga Petrova, the interna tional dramatic Btar has been engaged by the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company on a long term contract and her newest ana best productions will be seen at the Arcade theatre under the Paramount banner. In "The Undying Flame," Mme. Petrova's first Lasky-Paramount picture, one of the strangest facts of human experience s touched upon end in fact forms the basis for the which has been cleverly woven around it This the very common sensation of having been in a place beforo or having pcrormcd exactly the same actions in relation to the same per sons, whom perhaps one has never seen before. Who is there who has not had this strange sen sation? The Egyptians, thousands of years ago worked out a theory to ex plain all this in their religion of the "Jrnnamtirration of Souls" which is nothing more or less than the passing of the soul or spirit from ono lorm to another during the course of its progress- through the centuries. Thus an Egyptain in experiencing this foeling would merely say to him self: "I hate known this person, or have been in this place in ono of my previous incarnations" and go about bis business. But in "The Undying Flume" we see an English girl experiencing this sen sation and it puzzles her greatly un til one day a happy nccident brings a mystic scurab into her possession from the hands of a gypsy who tells her that when the other half shall be found she will know that her destiny is at Inst fulfilled. The fascinating manner in which the other half of the mystic charm comes into her life and the hnppincss that follows may fc seen at the Arcade theatre Friday and Saturday where "The Undying Flame," starring Madame Petrova, will be thj attraction.
