Summary
Way Down East' now on a return visit to the Colony, will be shown today and tomorrow at the Star. When this picture was shown at the Coronet recently, the original booking was for three days only. So big was the reception given to it, however, that the run was extended another two days. Even then, many people were unable to gain admittance, and in response to requests from Kowloon residents, it was arranged to put the picture over there. In it, Lillian Gish plays a wonderful part. It should prove a big success at the Star.
