.Present The
Wonderful
TRIANGLE
Program
Begtonlnc this afternoon with Douglas Fairbanks In a Grif
fith supervised feature, "The Iamb," plus a Keystone comedy,
"Mj Valet," Introducing Raymond Hitchcock. Mack Bennett and
Mabel Norrasnd. the STRAND will house TRIANGLE FEATURES.
These pictures secure a $2.00 admission price at the Knick
erbocker Theater, New York, and sre the talk of the film world.
We sre paying over twice the film rentaj we paid before;
consequently, unless we thought wo were going to get value tor
our money, wby would we pay this excessive rental?
TIUANOLE PICTCUE8 are made by the three greatest motion
"picture directors In the world QIUFriTH, INCE and BENNETT.
Such pictures as "The Birth of a Nation." "An Allen" and
"TUlie'a Punctured Romance" were produced by this wonderful
triumvirate, and we defy you to name us three pictures that hare
received the name favorable criticisms these have.
We have been watchjng this program closely, week in and
week out, for over two months, before finally deciding to contract
for ssme, and it Is getting better sll the time, though candidly
speaking, we thought at first It would he hard to make better
pictures than "The Lamb," "Iron t?lraln," etc. N
You know what Keystone comedies are we don't have to
tell you suffice to say that they will prove one of the most en
joyable psrts of our program, and that they will be brand new
subjects, never before seen In Omaha.
Another good thing about the TRIANGLE PROGRAM is the
elimination of the "sob" stuff. Of course, we will have dramatic
pictures, and even Vampires, but not week in and week out, as la
the past.
A good example is our first week's program, which starts this
afternoon. You'll never see a more thoroughly enjoyable pic
ture In your life than "THE LAMB," In which Douglas Fairbanks
Is starred. If we gave you a brief synopals of the story, you
would say it was a chestnut, which it Is, but the way the produc
tion has been handled, the many little touches of humor and
human interest which have been instilled, and last, but not least,
the wonderful presentation this picture has been given, stamps
It as one' of the gems of this season as far as photodramatloa la
concerned. -
Then there's "MY VALET," with your old friend, RAYMOND
HITCHCOCK cavorting around the camera, assisted by Mack
Bennett and Mabel Normand. Are they funny? Oh, no; not at all I
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we offer PUTIN FARNUM
in our first Ince supervised production, "TUK IRON STRAIN,"
which is one of the most wonderful pieces of photodramatlo art
possible to conceive, together with another Keystone scream, "A
GAME OLD KNIGHT," In which CHARLES MURRAY la starred.
We are getting so enthused about TRIANGLE pictures that
we want you to become the same way, and we feel sure that after
you see our first program, you will see the wisdom of our Judg
ment in signing up these corking good pictures.
Our program for this week, for ready reference, is as follows:
Sunday and Mondays DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS In "THE LAMB,"
and RAYMOND HITCHCOCK In "MY VALET." '
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: DUSTIN FARNUM in "THH
IRON STRAIN," and CHARLES MURRAY in "A GAME OLD
KNIGHT." .
Friday and Saturday:
STREAK."
