Bushman, and the piquantly pretty actress Margue rite Snow, in a picturization of Otis Skinner’s great stage success. “The Silent Voice,” visualizes the romance of a gifted young musician who finds his hopes of happiness thrice shatter ed in the death of his mother, the loss of his hearing and the seeming perfidy of his adored wife. How the discords of his spirit are attuned and the joy of living returns to him makes a story of supreme heart appeal and vital human interest. A screen classic in six superb acts. It’s truly the masterpiece of the season. Mme. Petrova, whose marvelous emotional powers have won her an en viable reputation on the speaking stage in London, Petrograd and New York, and who is remembered for her capital work in “Panthea,” at the Shubert Theatre and on tour, will be seen on the screen at the Queen Theatre, Bryan on Saturday, Novem ber 27, in “My Madonna,” the latest release of Popular Plays and Players in the program of the Metro Pictures Corporation. “My Madonna” is a gripping and masterly adaptation of Robert W. Ser vice’s poem of the same name, and affords Mme. Petrova an excellent opportunity to display her marvelous emotional powers. Guy Coombs, the popular leading man, makes his debut in Metro Pictures, playing opposite to Mme. Petrova. A superb cast of distinguished players will be seen in support of Mme. Petrova, including Evely Dumo, Abert Howson, James O’Neill and other screen favorites. This will be one of the seasons greatest treats and everyone should grasp the opportunity of seeing this world famous actress. SPEAKER FOR SUNDAY. The minister for next Sunday will be Dr. H. W. Knickerbocker of the First Methodist Church at Austin. We always look forward to Dr. Knick erbocker’s visits for he is one of the speakers that comes to us each year who would have a full house even though chapel attendence regulations were suspended—it is a treat to hear him. “Pinkey” Foster is still working hard for a position on the I—K foot ball team and if such men as Ford and Anderson do not look out he will be playing in their place.
