"MANSLAUGHTER."
Cecil B. de Mille has given the screen many wonderful pictures, but in extravagance of production and luxury of setting^ he excels them all in "Manslaughter," the ten-reel Paramount production screening to-morrow at Everybody's Theatre. The scenes of Roman revelry are spectacular and beautiful; and the modern scenes are no less extraordinary. The story is a fine one. Suddenly plucked from the. ease and comfort of her society life and imprisoned, the heroine finds that life has other meanings than the pursuit of pleasure. This role is splendidly played by Leatrice Joy. Thomas Meighan as the attorney who has. to secure the conviction of his loved one, is also well cast. There ia a special musical score for the picture. The plan is at The Bristol.
