Inspired by his love for a brave and beautiful young woman, he resolves to devote iris life to recapturing the five outlaws and effecting an agitation leading toward prison uplift. The picture is strong in every scene and is well acted and staged. The supports to-night are Topical Budget ,a beautiful Ches- : ter Outing Scenic, and “In for Life” i a two-reel Christie comedy. ! On Thursday Alice Joyce has an ideal 1010 in “The Inner Chamber,” , and one in which she excells. She portrays both the society girl and the woman of poverty.
