Figure Strong in This Film
Many were the adventures which
befell Sessue Hayakawa and his com
pany, who will be seen at the Muse
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
in the Lasky-Paramount production
of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous
story, "The Bottle Imp," when they ,
were in Hawaii. Mr. Hayakawa, his
director, Marshall Neilan, and the
camera man, with a corps of assist
ants and several American members
of the company, journeyed over to the
islands expecting to engage a Ha
waiian cast there. The leading wom
an, Lehua Waipahu, is a member of
a very high Hawaiian family, and,
while she is a talented amateur
actress, it was with great difficulty
that they secured her parents' consent
for her appearance in moving pic
tures. Nearly a week was consumed
before this consent could be obtained,
but Mr. Hayakawa and Mr. Neilan so
won over her parents that they per
mitted many of the scenes to be pho
tographed on their estate. The com
pany journeyed lo Kilauea, the fa
mous volcano, and a number of scenes
were taken in its depths. Mr. Haya
kawa and Mr. Neilan were nearly
overcome with sulphur fumes, so
great was their excitement in getting
some of the views.

Gibson in "The Path of Peril." the first ot
"The Dangers of Dorlo" series.
Favorite A Bluebird photoplay will hoM
fqrth at this theater today. "The Mysterious
Mrs. M." is the title, and lovely Louis
Lovely is ths star. It is a pleasing comedy
drama of a man that is told by a fortune
teller that on a certain hour and day he
he will die. Ham and Bud furnish one of
three unbeatable comedies to the bill, and
Helen Gibson will be shown, In "The Death
Siding."
Ideal Mr. and Mrs. Dostal announoe the
reopening of this theater, which has been
closed for a short time in order that some
repairs and improvements could be made.
They are to be complimented on the open

sition forms most of the settings for this
daintr picture and the story Is of a little
girl whose only wish In life Is to see the

colors, from the studio of Pathe.
Xothrn Manager Jensen announces that
he will present today and tomorrow E. H.
Sothern, star In the latest Vltagraph Blue

personality on the screen. The usual "V"
comedy will also be shown on the same bill.
Monroe Robert Warwick will hold forth
at this popular theater today in a World
"Brady-made" feature, "All Man." There

announced later.
Magic Stuart Holmes will be the attrac
tion at this theater today only in "Ths
Scarlet Letter." This Is the screen adapta
tion of Hawthorne's immortal classic, and

correct as to settings and detail. Special
attention is called to the Wednesday offer

est preparedness pictures that has ever been
produced. This picture has" been endorsed
