TWO STAR FEATURES.

LIBERTY THEATRE. TO-DAY. j A complicated, true-to-lifa drama mod- j ern life, depicting the dangerous phase the age, a play that holds a note of warning—that is ""Broken Barriers." How many people are there who are too prone to snap their fingers at convention and dismiss it with a laugh, only to End ultimately just how profound is their regard for the lawa and usages of society? They are legion, despite their oft-repeated platitudes concerning their contempt for convention, out when they find themselves hit, they are revealed as the most staid of us all. rn spite of the light and airy fashion >n which marriage is treated to-day, marriage makes conventionalists of us all; it tones down any lawlessness that may repose latent in us, and invariably constitutes toe happy ending. But in "Broken Barriers the general order of things is reversed; an obstinate wife, an unhappy husband, and a charming girl Perhaps a common enough triangle, but just how unusual is the story, and how surprising are the results cannot be told in a few lines. It has to be seen before its full lesson can be expounded. A notable cast of play ers appear in "Broken Barriers," headed by Norma Shearer and James liirkwood, and included the suave and polished Adolpbe Menjou, Robert Frazer, and Mae Buscr.. "Broken Barriers ' will be presented for the first time at the Liberty Theatre to-dav. A Nazimova picture is always heralded as an event in the motion picture world, so patrons may be assured of a fine order of acting in a fine order of picture in "The Redeeming Sin,'' also to be presented at the Liberty Theatre to-day. It is a fascinating story of the Paris that is known bo little of, the underworld, the Quartier Latin, the little cafes down by the quays. Nazimova has a congenial role, and has ample scope for the display of her temperamental talents. The box plans are at The Bristol Piano Co., where scats may he reserved.
