ADJUSTMENTS.
Great Feature Picture at the eiiou.

Ask any child who has passed his
eighth grade in the public school TO
give you the story of Enoch Arden and
invariably you will find that they are
thoroughly familiar with the story from
beginning to end If not with the verses
of the poem itself This beautiful poem
of Lord Tennyson is known in almost
every English speaking home and has
been translated into many different
tongues
1t is indeed a rare treat that the
Bijou theatre management offer the
patrons of that popular moving pic
ture house today when they present
this beautiful story of Enoch Arden
in picture form. The picture is most
complete, taking up two entire reels of
over a thousand feet each, making the
entire picture over two thousand feet
long.
So familiar is the American public
with the works of Tennyson that it is
unnecessary to describe this poem in
detail. The picture is a Biograph
masterpiece and Is one Of the most
faithful and vivid portrayals of this
beautiful romance of love and pathos.
The first part tells of the betrothal of
Enoch and Annie, the despair OF Enoch
at his inability to cope with the de-
mands Of his increasing family obliga-
lions, and his sailing away to recoup
his fortunes on a vessel bound for
China A storm is encountered, the
vessel wrecked and Enoch and two
companions are washed upon a tropical
island, where they are forced to stay.
Annie, all the while is ever hopeful Of
his return, while Philip, though an un-
successful rival, shows a kindly interest
in the little grief-stricken family.
Meanwhile. Annie is ever hopeful of
Enoch's return. Several years later
Philip sues for the hand of Annie

of Enoch's return Finally she accepts

she is Philips all-in-al Meanwhile, a
shin in quest of water puts in at the
island and Enoch, now alone his COM

home coming is sad indeed and he well
comes the death that keeps Annie in
| happy ignorance.
| No advance in price has been made
/ for today's program and this great reel
will be run in connection with the
regular program. Everyone, whether a
student of English literature ct not.
should see this beautiful subject. 1t is
a picture that is fascinating, interest
ing and instructive.
Benefit at the Elite.
The entire net receipts of today's
| show at the Elite will be turned over
to Pensa cola Temple No IA, Pythian
Sisters, who will be in charge of the
theatre today. For this even. the man
agement has provided for a specially
fine program which will no doubt meet
with the approval of their patrons.
The list Of features is headed by a
remarkable picture entitled, 1.-The
Haunted Island" and as the title i'm
plies it is a picture quite out of the
! ordinary, depicting the adventures Of
I a couple who, after a hazardous es-
cape from a burning ship, land on an
island and meet with trying expe-
riences. The sunny side Of life is rep
resented by a hilariously funny COM
| edy, made by the Amrican company,
| while a fine western features COM
pletes the program. Mr.. Rayfleld will
sing new song and the Elite orches-
| ira will play a new selection. So while
you can pay your respects to the pop
ular Pythian ladies you may enjoy an
extraordinary fine show for the usual
price Of admission.
