the water is calmer, and as the minutes pass grows
calmer still They seem to be carried swiftly by
some unknown current but the darkness keeps secret

After drifting with the current for some time, the

THE LIGHT ETERNAL"
HERE ALL NEXT WEEK

"The Light Eternal" the latest and by
many critics claimed to be the greatest
of all dramas founded on the persecution
of the early Christians. is announced as
the attraction at the opera house all
next week. with Wednesday and Satur-
day matinees.
The author Martin V, Merle, describes
his play as an interesting love story of
early Rome The scenes ere laid i'm Rome
and it's environs during the turbulent
reign OF Diocletian and at time when
the persecution OF Christians was at its
height ''The Light Eternal tells the
same story as "Quo Vadis," and is full of
life and thrilling situations, but portrays
less of the gruesome features OF the per-
secution and more of the courage and
strength Of character that faith In the
Nazarene gives TO the true believer. It
teaches a stronger moral lesson, and AT
the same time is doubly interesting from
che heart interest and the portrayal of
the everyday life interviewer with the
Jealous intrigue and pitiless persecution so
prevalent in the early Christian era.
