“ The Unbeliever ” A SUPER-FEATURE IN SEVEN PARTS. Based upon the book. "The Three Things." hy Mary Raymond Shipmen .Andrews. I Get it at Prevosi's. The p/oblem in "THE UNBELIEVER" is one as old as time or thought. When death strides across the battlefield —of life as well as war— and men lie upon the threshold of the hereafter, in their la-t moments do they come to a belief in God? “THE CNHELIEVER" says they do. He hated his fellow man. He doubted God and his mother ’s teachings. The time came when he lay wounded on the battlefield in the Great War. On every side of him men lay dying. One atheist doubted Cod almost to the last breath, but found a change of heart as life's curtain rang down. And in the hospital ward, across from a German boy who was mortally wounded, he came to love even his enemy. His experiences in the great struggle teach him a new life. The Star Supreme— "THE UNBELIEVER." it is safe to say, will make a sensation. It will aiiraci n..t only the habitual patrons of motion picture theatres, bul those who attend only when some extraordinary ETHEL BARRYMORE in production is shown.
