AN ABSORBING DRAMA OF RUSSIA
“THE CIRCUS OF LIFE” The management of the New Grand Theatre announce the screening of “The Circus of Life,” commencing next Saturday. Pre-war Russia, with its iron rule, its intrigues and plotting, and secret of the Czar’s autocratic Government, conclaves of Nihilist revolutionaries, forms the background for this tensely moving drama. The story deals with the terrible privations of a beautiful young girl, who, rather than throw suspicion on her young husband, accepts the dreaded sentence of banishment to Siberia. Only a few people can have the wildest conception of the terrors and hardships endured by Russian ‘political” prisoners sentenced to Siberia. In “The Circus of Life” these things are most realistically portrayed, as is the girl’s thrilling escape and pursuit over miles of snow-bound country. Marcella Albani, one of the most beautiful of Continental actresses, interprets the role of the young girl. “The Circus of Life” is an unusua type of picture, and one that should most certainly be seen. This picture is said to excel Hearts in Exile,” in which Clara Kimball Young made her screen fame.
