"THE STORM."

One of the most gripping pic- tures ever brought to the screen is "The Storm," Universal's stirring romantic drama of the Canadian wilda, which opens at the Central Theatro to-day.

The Storm is a tremendous drama both from its human and na- tural angles. Added to the flerco conflict of the human hearts is the rage of the elements in a.most pri- mitive setting. The scenic effects of the picture are as beautiful and awe-inspiring as the human situa- tion is compelling..

A screen treat is assured the

patrons of the Central Theatre in their next attraction which is Uni- versal's lively comedy drama, "Bad Sister," and which presents a re- markable cast including Conrad Nagel, Sidney Fox, Bette Davis, Summerville and Zasu Pitts.
