mud, pitch darkness, and driving mists We
congratulate Manager Ford and all concerned
on having succeeded in presenting an illusion

ourselves and the public that We live in the

was formerly conceived possible in this line
with the many vast improvements of modern
times. It seems now as if the force of art
