AMUSEMENTS

LAURA LA PLANTE in "THE LAST WARNING." '«Th Last Warning"' by Thonws F. Fallon was one of the most .successful mytery plays ever to be seen on Broadway. It way staged from the book, "The House of Fear," by Wadsworth. Camp. The motion picture wag based on the play. All the ingredients of mystery have been jammed into the photoplay Mystery and terror which 'jr'.ng forth screams from the audience and laughter—not the laughter that a i'arco comedy produces—but the 'almost hysterical laughter of highly keyed nerves stimulated by relief from a fearful situation. The story is set in a theatre- a show house which has been closed ever since the murder and disappearance of. the body of the star in the midst of a performance. After five years the spooky old theatre is reopened for rehearsals oi the original play, with the same cast which had formerly ennfcted it. Then strange things happen as the ghost of the dead star begins to walk aud warns the players against re-enactin<r the play. The last warning, from which the picture gets its title, is given just before the big gala opening. The play goes on, but w£lh startling results.
