It is a love story thrillingly told. It is a picture that every one ought to see. While the picture tells the story of the dreadful arug and the fatal results which are sure to follow, nowhere in the picture is it shown how the fatal drug is used.

It is a high class picture which ought to even be run in the schools in order to impress upon the children the fatal results of the deadly drug and the agonizing tortures it produces when once the habit is acquired. Pictures which show how to use the drug should never be allowed because there are always a few weak minded who will take the first chance to see what effect the drug has, and the police of all cities should see to it that pictures depicting crime should be run in a moral way so as not to leave or create bad effects among any of those who may see them. The picture being run at the Pantages is of the highest class and no one will ever regret seeing it. . top-notch- er and unusual, supplement the picture Five vaudeville acts, entertaining and aid a bill of unusual strength.
