JtS3 PHOTO PLAYS FOR OMAHA DEVOTEES TSSv PEARL WHITE HERE IN REAL THRILLER Old Friend to Be Seen Again in "Fatal Ring" Serial of Genuine Sur ' prises. Our old iritnd Purl White, one of the most daring, best loved and best known actresses ot the silent drama, is soon to be with us in her latest serial "The Fatal Ring," which is being put on the market by the rathe exchanges. According to Mr. C. K. Holah, manager of the local branch of this company, it is the best serial they have thus far put before the public. More money, so he says, has been lavished in the producing of it, and the settings are so expen sive that he doubts if the company will be able to realize their invest ment. The release date was advanced from September to July at the request of exhibitors throughout the country, who hailed Pearl White as "the great est bnx-ofhec tonic for the summer months."
