J"" , '. . - Y 'EIGHT THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, k. C SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, Ml At The Theatres Academy : Bijou : Victoria :. Royal : Grand ROYAL It is seldom that motion picture goers are afforded so rich and rare a treat as was given the audiences that .yesterday filled the Royal theater to gee "The Great Redeemer," the Im pressive Maurice Tourneur super pro duction which closes its run today. All who attended the showing of this pict ure came away with something to think about, after having been held 'pppliound by a powerful and intensely human narrative. Fr,f "The Great Redeemer" is no ordinary photoplay. There is no traco of mediocrity in It. The whole thing is superb. An all-star cast enacts "The Great Redeemer." Principal honors go to House Peters, who is rushed, manly and appealing as Dan Malloy. This actor, so much at home in western roles, imparts a new touch to his work as Dan Malloy. He gained and held the sympathy of the audience throughout his appearance' on the screen. The girl is played by the beautiful.' young Marjorie Daw. Others In. the excellent cast arc Jack Mac Donald and Joseph Singleton.

Beautiful mountain vistas GRAND OPERA AT ACADEMY The New York English Grand Opera company will be the attraction tonight at the Academy of Music presenting "Faust."

JThere Is a large element of music lovers who might be converted into a vast army of grand opera patrons, but their invariable excuse ss that grand opera ' is always sung in Italian or French, the native tongue of their various comnosers, and they cannot understand either language, in consequence of" which, thousands of dollars that might be counted as part . cf the profits never find their way to I the box office. I Tickets, are now selling at the "Wil I mington Talking Machine company.
