“BRIDGES BUR/“NED" , The big Selznick picture feature.
:"War Brides" with Mate. Nazimova is
lplaying at the. Palace theatre‘this at
lterndon and twice this evening. These‘
will be the last chances for Norwalk
Iers to enjoy this real specialty in the
photo-play and it behooves everyone
who would see the wonderful picture
to open the door on which the present
and last opportunity is knocking to-
day..llitne. Nazimova has. created a
sensation throughout the Icountry by
her wounderful work in this attraction
and too much emphasis cannot be put
upon the really wonderful way in
which she carries her part through
the entire action of the story. She is
supported by a very able cast that is
strong ill all respects. "War Brides"
is lttSiOI‘y based upon the present
European carnage. Like every really
interestingrstory there is romance in
“War Brides" but there is more than
that and the pathos of the picture will
strike eIery heart and make an appeal
far beyond any ordinary play or pic.-
