AT THE STAR.

"EMPTY HANDS" TO-DAY TO SATURDAY.

This story,, which Carey Wilson, adapted from the novel of the same name by Arthur Stringer, furnishes the nth degree of excitement and: is filled with dramatic contrasts and conflicts.

Briefly it deals with the cinema- ventures of a man and a woman who find themselves lost in the wilder- ness, miles from civilisation. Their struggle for existence, the hard- ships they endure, and finally their love for each other are all gripping. ly and sympathetically portrayed. The picture is one of daring situa- tions and contrasts. The vicious- ness of life in certain fast social acts is truthfully depicted and is placed for startling comparison against the cleanliness of life in the Northern woods,

The featured role is in the cap

Stimson, former Secretary of War, who was sent by President Coolidge as his ngent in Nicaragua to acquaintable hands of Jack Holt who is ably American representatives there with the views of the Administra- tion, and to bring back informa- tion on conditions in the.
