Far removed from t)ie .stories of unusual adventure that could happeu to few, comes this gripping drama of home life, carrying its message straight to the hearts of the many. Wives everywhere have found themselves in the same predicament as Kdith Frome, the heroine 01 "Daybreak," whose husband, through drink, has become dead to-all thought of honor. The theme found in "Daybreak*' will have its appeal to these, and the story of this great human problem and its solution will interest even those who have never met any such experience in their own lives. It is a great drama of the home, a picture of powerful 'human appeal that will reach everyone. The other two star features are ''Easy Street," the mirth--11l led Mutual comedy starring Charlie | Chaplin, and the third episode of "A Lass of the Lumberlands," with Helen Holmes in the lead,
