'Disputed Passage"
On Craterian Bill
Pleases Local Fans
"Disputed Passage," film ver
sion of one of the most thorough
going studies of a doctor's life
ever written, opened to an en
thusiastic audience last night at
the Craterian theater.
Dorothy LBmour is seen as an
American girl who has been
reared in China by native foster
parents. Her work in behalf of
the invaded Chinese has brought
her to America where she meets
and falls in love with Howard
brilliant young doctor. Akim
Tamiroff, portraying a world
famous surgeon who worships
science as a god, has been largely
responsible for the young doc
tor's success and firmly believes
that a wife will destroy his pro.
tege s career.
The older man Intercedes to
tell Miss Lamour that Howard
has the makings of a great phy
sician and if she loves him she
must not see him again. The
true scientist must remain wed
ded to his work, he says. He
cannot follow two paths, but
must give himself to one or the
other.
But Tamiroff Is proven to
have guessed wrongly. Miss La.
mour's departure leaves Howard
an uninspired worker. One day
the young doctor learns the true
cause of his loved ones de
parture, and leaves immediately
to find her. His travels across
turbulent war-torn China, his
brush with death, and unforget
table romantic sequences that
follow are as powerful as they
are timely.

Behind the valiant deeds, the
heroic adventures of brave men,
there is always a woman. In

exotic June Duprez is the wom

A pulse-pounding, heart-thril

treats of a young man who be
cause of fear and cowardice de
serts his regiment on the night
of its departure for Egypt to Join
Kitcheners army and later re
deems himself by completing an
