“THE SCARLET S! N
WiTH HOBART DOSWORTH
A Grip.'!, j Five Reel Drama Will
Be Shown at No-Name Theater
Tonight.
Tlie No-Natre Tteeafer presents to
night, T.ie Scarlet Sin, with Hobart
Bos worth, in five big parts. JBotsworth
is considered one of the greatest ac
tors on the screen and takes the lead
in this picture, playing opposite Miss
Jane Novak.
He has embodied in thus photoplay
a spiri ual story told in a red-blood
ed way, a story which tellts of u
minister’s struggle against adversity,
ignorance, brutality and the infideli
ty of bis wife—all at the same time.
While trying to convert a crowd of
jeering, ignorant miners a sodden
wretch insults the minister and pours
galll into the wound by shouting that
the minister’s wife is a wanton. Does
the minister meekly bow hie head
when the insu’t is flung at him. He
doe* not. He belong® to the church
militant and finding he can neither
convince nor convert h villifier by
any otiher means, swings on the
brute who is leering at him and
knocks him cold wtith a well-directed
blow on the jaw.
It didn’t matter afterward that
the minister found that lus wifei was
rtally unfaithful to him, that one
swing on the jaw converted, a wfiole
camp of miners. Thereafter they re
spected him and listened with in
terest and devotion to the words of
truth he flung at them in words of
one syllable. Moreover, when the
rude miners learned that the minis
ter had given up a fashionable par
ish in New York to come to their
eiantytown they rallied to his sup
port and even the bully wtiora the
minister had smashed, became his
staunchest friend.
The Scarlet Sin was produced by
Otis Turner and Bos worth jointly and
is truly a Universal masterpiece.
ITALIAN LINER SUNK BY
AN AUSTRIAN SUBMARINE.
Three Hundred Lives Are Lost.—Ship
Carried No Contraband.
'
London, November 9. —A large sub
marine flying the Austrian flag has
sank the Italian line steamer Ancona,
from Naples for New York. Dispatch
es from Rome give no details of
thi disaster beyond the fact that
270 survivors of 582 persons aboard
have been landed at Bizerta, on the
north African coast. Of those on
the Ancona 422 were passengers.
Some of the survi).*' re vnere wound
ed, which would indicate the use of
submarine of a torpedo or shells.
It seems probable that over three
hundred lives have been losti.
As the Ancona wae bound for New
York, she could not have carried corn
