VON STROHIEMS MASTER PICTURE
‘THE DEVIL’S PASS-KEY’
Nss*.
—A sensational photodrama of Womans greatest temptation—created by,a man who knows—
and who knows you know. Human, because it is true and real—gripping because it gives you some
people you know well in the one tremendous crisis of their lives. ,
-—Paris! You’ll think you’re there! The races at Longchamps, the Theatre Francais, the gay boulevards, the
glittering shops, the whirl of society, and in the midst of it all, an American playwright and his all-to-pretty wife, ad-
ifaired and famous and then, suddenly the storm center of a frightful scandal that set all Paris by the ears.
. Suspense? You said it! When you near the end of this wonderful drama you’ll be on^ee^ge of your seat,
unable to take your eyes from the screen. IPs real! It’s human! It’s life—“THE DEVILS PASS-KEY. • See it with-
fail. Genius does’t show every day. .
