A UNIQUE PICTURE.
SYRIAN QUARTER OF NEW YORK FINELY SHOWN IN “ANNA ASCENDS.” Every- day in New York City thousands of persons' pay a, dollar each to be shown how “the other half” lives. They climb into hard-riding “rubberneck” busses and listen, to stereotyped speeches from sophisticated guides to satisfy their curiosity about the lower east side, Chinatown and the Bowery. For those-who cannfftrg-o to New York Alice Brady’s latest Paramount picture, “Anna Ascends,” which will be shown at the Maorijahd Theatre next Saturday, gives an accurate picture of the Syrian quarter, in New York. The photoplay], which deals with the rise of a Syrian imigrant girl, depicts the lives of those people. Siad Qoury’s coffee house, shown on the screen, is an exact reproduction of one of Washington street’s most inteesting coffee houses. And the straineje thing about it is that there is a coffee house keeper in New York who goes by the name of Siad Goury.
