A ' uiim...0.v STAR GETS 'THE UNAFRAID' Rita Jolivet Plays Part Well in Film Full of Thrills. Rita Jolivet. ex-star of .'Kismet," is at the Star Theater for the rest of the week in a pretty romantic drama, "The Unafraid." - - A young woman of exceptional beauty and personality, Miss Jolivet gives a convincing portrayal of an American gill and her experiences in the Monte negrin mountains. House Peters, star of "The Girl of the Golden West" and other, successes, appears opposite and gives a splendid bit of acting. - The scenery in this picture simply cannot be excelled. Great barren moun tains lift their heads thousands of feet above a surging sea. Perilously near the edge of great chasms silver roads wind themselves to mountain tops. Mists, first blue then gold, float over it all and the effect is one of wondrous beauty. Miss Jolivet takes the part of an American girl who becomes an unwill ing prisoner in the castle of a Monte negrin prince. Her experiences are many and varied, furnishing plenty of thrills to the audienceg,- but it ends beautifully and "they lived happily ever after." ' : , Considering the fact that Miss Jolivet Is not an American girl, ehe gives an exceedingly clever portrayal, of the self reliant, independent, albeit a little stub born, American in a foreign land.
