PLAZA THEATER TODAY
P ----
"The Empress of Stormy Emotion!"
This appellation, recently applied to1
Madlaine Traverse by a most severe
screen critic, she fully justifies in :
"Snares of Paris," showing at the,
Plaza today, in which she runs the ,
gamut of woman’s emotions — love
hate, wifely and motherly devotion,
fear, sorrow, horror and final mr
preme joy —all depicted with exquisite
gradations of expression. It is a
superb presentation of a role that may,
rightly bo reckoned- her best.
.The utmost care was taken to make
this photoplay truo to the life it por-
trays. The settings are tuagnifleont
and the Parisian gowns Miss Traverse
had especially made for this produc-
tion would grace any stage.
You have only to read the synopsis
of the story and the big moments to
see that this photoplay is filled with |
stirring situations, mystery, romance i
and uplifting love-all elements to
play up in you . , to hole an I
audience when you get it, and to draw 1
bigger audiences by word of-mouth ad 1
vertising.
Let "The Empress of Stormy, Emo-
tion" rule over your box office with
