Summary
When we tell you that it costs us $2 a minute to show 'The Devil's Passkey' at Wo Ping Theatre more than it cost to screen either 'Hearts of the World' or 'Intolerance,' you can perhaps realise that it must be a great picture. The Coronet Orchestra will provide the musical programme. July 22 Remarks: The ad says 'Is it necessary for a woman to be extravagant in dress if she would retain her husband's love?'
