REX REACH VISUALIZES ALASKA IN "THE BRAND" The Cast: , Alice Andrews .....Kay Laurell Dan McGill Russell Simpson Bob Barclay ..' Robert McKim Hopper Robert Kunkel The Child Mary Jane Irving Rei Beach's newest photo-drama Is "The Brand," presented by Goldwyn lit the Lyric theater bejrinnlng 8ept 12 and In It the distinguished author returns A the field in which he has won his pTentest success the Alask an country. With a cast which in cludes Russell Simpson, Robert Mo Kim and Kay Laurell, famous beauty of the Zlegfrled "Follies," the play re lates an absorbing story. It concerns Pan McGill, who comes back to civil ization aftor tome years spent as a hermit In the heart of the Yukon country. Once poor, he Is now rich, and his discovery starts a boom town. Among the waBters and derelicts who drift there la Bob Barclay, a gambler, and a woman. With them Is a child. Barclay forces the woman to flaunt herself In the dance hall and In this evil atmosphere the child Is growing up. A chance encounter brings McOill face to face with the woman. Her tawdry finery doe not disguise her. He recognizes his wife, cast off years before, when McGill drove her out Into the storm with her lover, Bar clay. She begs McGill to help her to get away from Barclay and when her husband refusos to interfere she leads him to the sleeping child. This does not sway McGill. What the woman says to him then releases a torrent of fury and brings about a typical Rex Beach climax. OPERATOR H WOUNDED !() HI PLANT DAMAGED .1. Q.

This Information in itself isn't so bad, for we have grown hardened to such statement in the past four years, but the disquieting thing about Oscar is that he proves it to yon, clinches the statements in the mout convincing way by showing you trad journals, letters, quotations, invoice, and a lot of documentary proof, and it may well be considered that h knows what he is talking about for he is a student in his line, and knows It well.
