PAINS ANCIENT ROME"
DEALS WITH TIME OF NERO

Rome, the greatest city in the
world at one time. is the subject of
Henry j. Pains newest spectacular
production, and the one that thrilled
thousands at Manhattan beach, New
York, where the initial performance
was made. The particular period Sc
lected for this immense amusement
offering, is during the reign of the
notorious Nero, whose name will live
in infamy until the crack of doom.
As a finale to the spectacle the burn
ing of Rome has been selected as a
fitting ending on which to drop the
curtain on the career on one of the
greatest human monsters of history,
though his tragic end i'm reality WAS
not brought about until years after.
Nero died i'm \. ID. 6S, in the 31st year
of his age, and the l4th of his reign.

capitol of the old world, rich in every
external evidence of outward show,

of art that human skill could conceive
