Selig Regular Program for Week of January 4-9
A Two-Reel Selig Drama. Released Monday, January 4
The Strange Case of Princess Khan
Written by JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD
Production directed by EDW. J. LE SAINT
An unusual and engrossing picture-play dealing with Hindu occultism and mysticism, which is exposed by a clever investigator. He finds a Hindu princess kept in a state of hypnotic trance by a charlatan, whom he foils and exposes. The pictures are most realistic, one scene representing the immersion of an automobile, with its occupants, through a broken bridge into a river. There is fighting; a hot automobile pursuit and sufficient love making. STELLA RAZETO, GUY OLIVER and JACK McDONALD play the leading roles.
