IVAN MOZUKIN AND NATHALIA LESIENKO (THE WORLD'S GREATEST, DRAMATIC STARS)
A D-REEL DRAMA OF EXCITING SCENES A There are few persons who haven't road and do not hold in sentimental regard Alex, Damns' strongest milatorwork "KEAN " koown the world over. It is a powerfully dramatic tale relating --the life and unhappy ending of Edmund Koan, whom the critica and public alike, bailed not only as Britain's foremost actor of that period, but as one of the greatest dramatic genius of all time.
It is a picture of Love and despair, of dreams and ashes of dreams. A pisture that will grip and hold the poignant appeal which will reach dosply into every human heart. It is a living breathing document of real life.
Mr. MOZUKIN, Europe's greatest dramatic actor on the screen,
sisted by an exceptionally talented cast, comprising N., LESIEN KO & NIC KONF in usoting a role of heavy dramatio exactions, and he autoseeds in registering almost the entire game of emotions in a manuer of such certainty that his work in "KEAN" touches probably the uppermost point of the dramatic attainment of bis career.

BRUSSELS, October 29. The decision of the Council of the League of Nations, to whom
the question of the status 400 frontier was referred, establishes a line whereby the British will give up the administration of a small tract but will not evacuate anything, while the Turks will evacuate some villages.
No strategically important place is affected on either side, and both parties agreed to accept the decision.
A neutral commission of three members, headed by Count Telecki, ex-Hungarian Premier, will proceed to Mosul as early as possible to finally settle the frontler, to which this provisional line is in no relation.
