HOBART BOSWORTH IX “THE CUP OF LIFE” MONDAY

“The Cup "of Life” Thomas H. lingo’s latest Associated Producers’ special production is announced as the attraction at the Princess Theatre on Monday. A melodrama of the Orient and Occident’ with .Singapore the locale, the forthcoming feature presents an all-star caste, including Hobart Bosworth, Madge Bellamy, 'fully .Marshall and Niles Welch. The plot and action of the story call for many spectacular scenes including a desperate, battle between Bosworth and a “Killer” shark, taking place beneath the ocean’s surface.' The architectural meautv of the Orient has also been exploited to a heretofore unattained extent. The story is a tremendous drama of a father’s love for his son, and of the unjustified vengeance of a powerful Chinese merchant prince. Deftly combined with a delicate love story’ and scenes of stirring action, are ’ revealed the fundamental differences that will foroover separate the Orient from (the Occident—the dividing line of races. The cosmopolitan atmosphere of Singapore has been exploited to the fullest advantage in attaining powerful and effective contrast, and in reaching the tremendous dramatic situations which feature the proluction. A Paths Gazette, I athc Rcwiew and a Chester comedy Aon II be Surprised” (featuring Snookv the Humanzee) will also be screened.
