On several occasions the News has called the attention of the public to the fine class of pictures that have been shown at the Liberty Theater. The picture to be shown begin ning Sunday, March 7th to 9th, is probably as great a play as has ever been produced. “The Phantom of the Opera,” by Gaston Leroux, the greatest mystery-romance of modern times. The opera ghost< which is the sub ject of the play, has been discussed by Parisian actors, claimed to have been seen in and about the opera house where the scene of this play is laid. It i3 spectacular and extravagant ly staged by as fine an all-star cast as is seldom seen. Such national characters as Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin, Norman Kerry and a galaxy of other artists. It is a wonderful picture, wierd and pathetic in the extreme and ex citing every emotion, leaving an im pression of the myth, a phantasy of hysteria long to be remembered. You will never forget it Mr. Marchbank, the entertaining manager of the Liberty at this time is giving more than 100 percent for what you pay. See the matinee at 2:15 Sunday, March 7.
