biograph showing the land-caTe from New

Of the Messenger who actually made the Journey
in u Pullman c1r.
II would loo voted a dull biograph entertain
mcnt h, manv people unless there were a little
fun mingled with the historical events ana

involves a very elaborate equipment and very
great expense on the part OF III" hiograph COM

manager. a stag" carpen'et, a property man
and s,ycno airht assistants regularly employed
about this revolving roof theatre and the COM
panv hn> also a playwright who evolves and
outlines the little fares that are afteTHard re-
hcar,cd and then acted and photographed for
reproduction. And il is not To be considered
that any Tom. Dick or Harry Is chosen to do
tho acting on the contrary. all the actors and
actresses employed are professionals taken
from the best companies in the city at tho time
and they play their biogrnph parts with as
much thoroushness and conscientiousness as
they would before a crowded house in the best
theatre in the city.
