tary drama, which will open a weeks !
engagement at the Bijou commencing
tomorrow night occurs one of those
stage pictures, which through the cum !
ming of the stage mechanic and elec- |
ttrician, borders on the real. The
scene represents a mountain pass in
North Dakota, In mid-Winter, with the |
lofty mountains and perilous canyons
towering overhead. Here the hero and
the paymaster Of the fort meet and
a terrific struggle for3their lives takes
place. Gradually the stage darkens.
and little flurres of snow fly across
the stage in eddying, sweeping Whiris.l
1t gets darker and darker, and finally
in nll It's fury. the dreaded blizzard,
known as the white Death" sweeps
across the mountain pass, burying
everything in mantle of white.
Many blizzard scenes have been used
with interior effects Manager Blaney
claims that this is the only one used
where everything takes place In the
/ open. The entire stage is used from
| footlights to back wall and large
corps OF electricians and carpenters
arc carried to put on this scene ef-
| fectively.
