AT THE GR AND TONIGHT
The new feature that heads the •
;qinu itoxiouiot 1 i;; iqUruo} .woqs |
at the Grand is in many respects '
the strongest and most thrilling
qroductions the Universal Company
has yet produced in three reelers.
“The tenth Commandment” is the
story of a successful doctor, who j
is all but ruined by a jealous wife. '
Thrilling and absorbing, and crowd-1
ed with tense emotional scenes in ■
which the popular Universal stars
Wm. Shay and Violet Mersereur
apear in the leading role. A single
reel drama of charming fantasy with
little Eva Mansfield, the little che
rub with the rose-bud mouth and
wondering blue eyes, who made her
first appearance in moving pic
tures unbidden into a grand ball
room scene. Needless to say the ]
picture was spoiled, but little Eva
has helped to make many more
since then. The show closes with
a comedy.
Change of program Wednesday.
