MilIer's Moving Picture Show

This, Saturday, evening after an
absence of two years, A. D. Miller
will present his moving picture show
at the I. O. O. F. hall. After Prof.
Miller gave his exhibition here two
seasons ago, the ISLANDER made the
following comment: 'The pictures
produced on the canvas were well Sc
lected and the audience present ap-
preciated the show from beginning to
end"
Prof Miller returns with four thous-
and feet of film, Comprising picture
plays OF intense interest, pantomimic
dramas which abound with thrilling
positions, and comedies that are
mirth provokers. Mr.. Miller features
the San Francisco disaster, showing
the wrath of the destroying elements
SO infinitely that one actually imagines
he is viewing the great calamity him
self. The ''Smugglers," another fea-
ture film, is the sensational expert
ences Of practical exponent of free
t,-ade principles, with pretty love
story interviewer. The Bill Poster
shows the ludicrous side of up-tc-d date
advertising. The Joy of Marriage is
another humorous picture play. The
other pictures wax from the tragic
to the comical and always keep an
appreciative audience on the acme OF
expectation.
