will be seen every night in some Of his
greatest feats. Also the native japanese

that should not be missed. The glass

this week, showing the "Rock Of Ages"
in which right before the eyes Of the au-
dience an empty crown Is shown, and
gradually the female form Is seen hanging
to it. The greatest of all animated picture
producing machines, the cinemetOgraph,
Is shown with new views. Everybody
should visit the museum.
