from the frontier. One branch runs
to Pancsova, on the southwest, another

third to Kubln. midway between Be)

of Semeudrla, formerly a fortress of

end of a branch line of railroad, could
be used as the starting point of ma.

of Pauline" will be shown at the
Lyric Saturday, August 8th, mat
inee at 2:30; evening at 8:00 p. m.
In this number a large yacht ia
blown up in an effort to do away
with Harry and Pauline. The ex
plosion takes place as scheduled,
but something else happens. What
it is you will see on the screen.
There ia some comedy in this
episode, as the old pirate is not
just the one you would expect to
meet in the best society. The ac
tion is strong, the dramatic inter
est intense. This episode is stronger
and more interesting than those
that have gone before.
"The Perils of Pauline" becomes
more and more interesting as the
story goes on, although each in
stallment is complete in itself. The
Lyric urges you to come and see
these pictures. They are whole
some, clean and intensely thrill
ing. The leading players are well
known stars of filmdom, which
alone should guarantee the produc
tions. They are piotures you can
safely bring your wife, your sweet
heart or your children to see. You
will be more than pleased with
