BARBARA STANW1CK
assisted by a special east rive a very exceptional performance
in the strong tale of rural life.
“The Purchase Price”
An 8-reel feature depicting life in a somewhat similar manner
to the famous "Main Street”. She lived her few young years
among the glittering lights of Broadway. Sickening of it she
ran away to the Dakotas, where the main part of this re
markable feature is staged.
THROBBING—INTERESTING— UNUSUAL SITUATIONS
A play, the like of which you’ve never seen before.
Also exceptional is the two-reel featurette beautifully staged in
FULL COLOR. LOTS OF MUSIC—LOTS OF DANCING
LOTS OF COMEDY—LOTS OF ACROBATICS
And in addition there is a very interesting reel of
Curiosities and a News Reel.
