"THE ETERNAL cry"

"The Eternal City" which comes to the
Tacoma theater Thursday night, should
prove one of the big events of the local
theatrical season, not alone that it is by
that interesting character, Hall Game of
the Isle Of Man, and is helped by the
prestige Of his play "Ihe Christian" but
also because scenically and dramatically it
seems to be one Of the most notable pro
auctions which is likely to be seen here
this year. THE eight scenes, correctly rep
resenting places of interest in ancient and
modern Rome, including the Vatican gar
dens and the Coliseum are massive and I'M
usually handsome. As the cast includes
Edward Morgan of "The Christian fame,
as star; Sarah 1ruax as leading woman,
and Frederick De, Belleville, Frank C.
Bangs and w. E.. Bonney, as well as two
dozen other capable actors, it viii be seen
that The Eternal City" is deserving more
thap cursory consideration,
