A hiih Class five Reel Production
Produced by Middle West Film Co
Will be Shown in Weatherford
September 12th, 13th at
THE LYRIC THEATRE
The scenes of the picture are made in and around Mineral Wells and
Weatherford, and Mineral Wells and Weatherford people are the actors.
Judge R. B. Hood of Weatherford as presiding judge in the big murder
trial, Mayor Queen as counsel for the defense, Mr. Cope as foreman of the
grand jury, Miss Delia Bishop as the innocent little country girl, and a number
of other Weatherford people; also Miss Margaret McCracken and a large cast
from Mineral Wells. Corinne Griffith’s little niece, only three years old, also’
has a part.
Four young souls experienced tragedy, disappointment and sorrow. Later
the "Vision Message" sweetly blends their lives into love and happiness.
The Mysterious Mirror," in which one sees the image of a corpse, pic-
tured there by a flash of lightning, attracting so much attention in the larger i
cities and much comment in the leading paper, caused Thos. W. Jackson of 1 '
Chicago, the author of ".A Slow Train Through Arkansaw," to write the story.
