"Blind Hearts," au Associated Producers' attraction is announced as the feature of the Lyricpictures to-day at 2.30 and to-night at S p.m. Combining au absorbing and unusual story with character portrayals of the highest standard and a startling succession of production innovations, "Blind Hearts" is said to surpass any of the star's previous vehicles, not forgetting his memorable "Sea Wolf." or his tremendous Thomas H. luce success, "Behind the Poor." The action opens in the Alaskan gold lields where Lars Larson, portrayed by Bosworth, and .Tohn Thomas, his clos-

est friend, wrest a fortune in nuggets and ore from the ice-clad Yukon. The final sequences of the story, absorbingly involved, result in a forceful and totally unexpected climax. Madge Bellamy is in the supporting cast.
