“TfJ K WOMAN ON THK JI’RY .MONDAY.

A honeymoon spent serving on a jury in n murder trial—That is one of tlit; many unusual situations to lie found in “The Woman on the Jury,” a- First National production which trill lie shown uii ;\i outlay next. And tiie romance of the bride and bridegroom was nearly wrecked by the ex]K'rielite. Sylvia Brcamer, the featured member of the cast, and Frank Mayo, play the roles of the “Newlyweds.” Just as they are about to start off on their wedding trip they are served with subpoenas to appear and serve on the jury which is to try a young girl for murdering her !*•- t layer. The bridegroom does not relish having his honeymoon interrupted in this fashion, but his young wife, considering it a lark and eager to avail himself of her “woman’s rights.” induces him to yield. Not until after she lias Ik'Cii sworn in did the young bride learn the name of the slain man. and she nearly swooned at the news, for his had been responsible for a dark secret in her own life. Then followed a startling denouement which, for powerful intensity lias never been equalled on the screen. Harry 0. Hoyt directed the picture, which is based <m the successful stage play by Bernard T\. Burns, and the cast in-i-hides such favourites as Henry 11. Walthall, Low Cody, Bessie Love, Mary Carl'. Hobart Bosworfh, Myrtle Bt oilman, Roy Stewart, Ford Sterling and Stanton Heck. The latest in Topicals and a two-reel comedy will also be shown.
