BRITANNIA
“THE 13TH JUROR” “The 13th Juror,” starring Francis X. Bushman and Anna Q. Nilsson, will be shown this evening at the Britannia Theatre. Growing up together from youth, Henry Desmond and Richard Marsden have been the best of friends, and as they grow to manhood their friendship seems to be cemented for life through the marriage of Marsden to Helen Fraine, a schoolgirl sweetheart of both. Desmond has become a very successful attorney while Marsden has not fared so well with the added expense of marriage and business failures. However, the two continue their friendship and not until the District Attorney’s political machine is started in action is there anything said about relations between Desmond and the wife of Marsden. This insinuation from George Quinn, a political boss, causes a quarrel in which Marsden threatens the life of Quinn. Later the same night Desmond comes in contact with Quinn, and in the ensuing argument he is killed and Marsden is held for the murder. Billie Dove in “The Heart of a Follies Girl,” is til© second feature. Most of the scenes in this picture are taken behind tho stage, and the s':ory concerns the private life of a dancing girl in the Follies Show.
