THE STAR THEATRE.

y —Saturday— The wonderful emotional actress, Madame Petrova, in "The Soul Market," gA an^enthralling romance of society and Jfl the*~3faSge. ', Elaine Elton, a musical S comedy prima donna, at the height of H her success, becomes- weary of her en-^H vironment. Around her sie-atas younirJ^M girls ever bartering theirbeai3|,*«iuh|^| innocence for luxury antffioe^ijlf^^^B and to her it seems J. a veritalbe iiial^CT market, worse than the slave markets W^BB ancient Babylon. How, later,''she her- T self is tempted by wealth and position, ' how she ia saved by a dream, and love conquers, makes a most absorbing story. Some tip-top supporting pictures are" also billed.

—Wednesday— "The Italian'V-A.n excellent six-part dramatic story, featuring the well-known character actor, George Beban, is of a most unusual nature. There is nothing of sex, nor of a problematic nature in' the story, nevertheless it is of strong human interest, being the experiences of an Italian immigrant in New York— his friends and- enemies-his happiness and tragedy—his vengeance and forgiveness. From the sunny vineyards of his native Italy the ■ peasant goes to New York City to make a fortune, and the story is one of vivid contrasts, charm and intense interest. There is also a splendid list of supporting items.
