eET DROIX A NI 8.00. THURSDAY EVENING 8.00 ““BESSIE BARRISCAI.E” in “A TRICK OF FATE”. “BESSIE BARRISCALE” as MARYLEE. “ANNAGERARD”, WELL, WHO IS .SHE ? . CAN YOU FIND THAT OUT? The Story: : . Mary Lee, the daughter of a Soutkern g:>ntleman of disabled fortune, is cruelly hurt when her father dies and is called a ‘‘crook’ by a local banker to whom he owed $5,000. Mary assumes the debt, goes to New York to build ur her fortunes sufficiently to pay it off. while her lover, Richard Crane, leaves for South America on an engineer- ing project. Anna Gerard, the dancer, who startles the habitues of the Black Rat Case, with her startling costumes and mannerisms, i the exact double of Mary Lee. Struck by the dancer’s possibilities, Raoul Gerson, an American theatrical manager, brings her to New York, where as “Zura’’ she gains reputation overnight. In a fit of temperament she declines to appear one night, and her fran-ie manager discovering Mary Lee, her double, on the street decides to palm her off as Zura. - Mary=accepts the offer on condition that Gerson pay her $5,000, the amount ofher father’s debt. Com plications arise when the original Zura is murdered by an old flame, Pierre La Rruge, unknown to any one but Gerson. A body dressed in Mary Lee’s clothes is found in the park and the police decide it is Mary [.ee. Gerson installs the real Mary Lee in the dancer’s apartments, exacting a promise that she will not disclose her identity. She is compelled to face unusual situations when John Wentworth, ,whom Zura was about to marry, and Crane, her lover, return. Wentworth, suspecting rhat Mary is not Zura, gets the police busy, and she is about to be arrested when Crane makes a false confes- sion, taking the guiltuipon himself. The truth is brought out at.the finish. - ADMISSION: i B Hosarwed Seale - . . s coiananabesv e A0 0N NGE T (Gere al Epntrance. ......., gt s dny R MVER BT wh e Children 20 and lUe. ‘ : for the 6th Ordinary Meeting of the Colonial Council for St. Croix MONDAY, APRiL 18, 1921, at ONE O’CLOCK P.
