John Alton, a conscientious paci fist, utters this curse at a time when he is angered by the scorn of his patriotic friends, and dejected by the loss of his sweetheart, Bertha Nor ton, who considers! him a slacker. He is induced to read Edward Ever- itt Ilalefe famous story, "The Man Without a Country,” and the inci dents seem to him like a replica of his own life in a previous exist ence. As Lieutenant Philip Nolan, U. S. A., he sees himself on trial for the identical curse against the United States, uttered by himself; then condemned to pass the rest of his life as an unshackled prisoner on board a warship without ever hearing of the country to which he belonged; and eventually dying in liis cabin with a benediction for the flag of the United States. The visualization of the story quickens in John Alton ,the dormant sense of responsibility to his coun try, and he becomes a recruit at Fort Slocum. Meanwhile Bertha has been a Red Cross nurse in France. The ship on which she is returning to America is attacked by an enemy submarine, and the wreck floating in mid-ocean presents a triumph to film realism. Whether Bertha was saved from the wreck to resume the interrupted romance with her form er lover is fuly revealed in the final reel. Apart from its stirring patri otic spirit the picture offers seven reels of engrossing entertainment. ■IIIUIII At half past two —x— And are dead T ‘THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY” ISIS SUNDAY Max Goldman MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS IN SHORT PANTS ■ i I I i I ■ I I i 1 Is fully equipped to do your printing at the very lowest prices consistent with good work.
