EVERYBODY’S. TO-NIGHT—“THE OATH” & “THE BOAT RAGE.” One of the biggest attractions of the year is featured at Everybody’s to-mor-row in “The Oath,” an adaptation of William J. Locke’s . famous novel “Idols,” a First National attraction, directed by R. A. Walsh, with the leading roles interpreted by Miriam Cooper. Conway Tcarle, Anna Q. Nilsson, and many others of note. * The feature is a strong drama presenting a problem that always arises when a Gentile marries a Jewess, with the dramatic incident supplied by the fact that the wife’s father is murdered and the husband accuse - of the crime on circumstantial evidence. Among the features of the picture is an English court scene most painstakingly produced. The drama has been lavishly produced, and stands as an example‘of an all star production, Each role is played with a skill that sets a new standard in screen acting. “The Oath*’ is one of the First National s bier five productions, and is presented as a super feature of real worth.
