els Wayland Shepardson of the history
way thru college by doing what is
known as "student service" work, re-

In order to secure a position in the

TRIP THROUGH SAN FRANCISCO
On Canvas By Display of Two Hundred
 and Fifty Highly Coiored Views.

The actual destruction of San
 Francisco by earthuake and fire, as
 it occurred on that fatal mqorning
 less than a month ago. Each scene as caught by the camera, is re-en- acted and flashed on a screen, hol ding the audience spellbound for two hours. It is one of the great est achievements of the photograph CTS art, and its equal will not be seen again for many day. The topling of the giant buildings, the shouting of ghouls, the flight of the people and the complete demolition of the city are re-enacted. No pen can picture and no word describe the extent and awefulness of the San Francisco earthquake and fire as do moving pictures. When these views were made the earth still quivered and as they were the very first taken, so they are the first to be offered at public exhibition.
 Most of the great ruins they show have since been tumbled to the ground with dynamite. Be that as it may, they are worth seeing. Nat urally there has been great de- mand for the pictures and they are being turned out as rapidly as pos sible. Of course all the pictures taken were made some hours after the earthquake, but they bring be- fore one with terrible qdistinctness the fearful destruction, and they are going to be valuable as the years go by. People interested in seeing how tne stricken city appear ed day or two following the first shock and while the fires were burn- ing, shoued see these pictures. Con- plete in every detail, the most thrilling motion picture views ev- erp laced on exhibition will be sec at the opera house Monday June 4th. This marvellous exhibition is a reproduction by the unerring moving picture camera of the most terrible catastrophe of modern times, the destruction by earthuake and fire of San Francisco an event the horror of which stirred the world from one extremity to the other. A descriptive lecture will be given while these pictures are being shown on a canvass l60 feet square showing detail almost undis- cernable with the naked eye. The entertainment will close with a dis play of 2500 feet of the latest and most up-to-date comic moving pie lures. The Frisco Motion Picture Company, which is exhibiting the views throughout the country, was fortunate in not having its plant destroyed by the earth's convulsion, and skilled operators took the views all through the terrible calamity from the first quake to the final destruction of the city.
