night only. Marion Fairfax ons of the
best known writer Of screen successes
of the day, is the author and producer
of this unusually splendid attraction.
The big story, it is said. Is filmed in
such a lavish manner as to allow the
all-star cast the proper opportunities of
living the characters as they, appear in
the original story. It is witfteut doubt
one of the strongest human documents
pictured In many years. . Ifi Is woven
around the life of a young editor of a
country newspaper who In order to gain
circulation pulls a fake murder mystery
on the public. The manner in which the
political enemies of the town "Sams the
tables on him and the many thrilling In
cidents that follow make the story one
that will grip the most cynical of audi
ences. The- production is stirring with
a number of big thrilling scenes, show-
