Champion Fighters at the Bijou.
To-Day the Bijou theatre on South
Palafox street, is running one Of the
most interesting and fascinating prize
ring pictures that have ever been
shown in the Deep Water City Despite
the intense local interest that has been
shown in many of these great prize
fights 1t is seldom that a motion pic
ture show in this city has been given
the opportunity of giving their pa
irons the benefit Of seeing one of these
world renowned contests reproduced
uEon the canvas exactly as II occur
red
1t was the insistent demands on the
part of the progressive managers of
this theatre that has been responsible
in bringing to Pensacola, for today
only, this picture that will be of so
great an interest to the sport loving
public as well as the great run of mo-
ton picture patrons. The picture pre-
scented today is an exact reproduction
of the great prize fight that recently
occurred between the world famous
Battling Nelson and owen Moran.
This picture is an exact motion
photograph of the famous battle in
which this world renowned boxer was
knocked out for the first time in his
entire fighting career Of over two hun
dred fights and after twelve years of
hard practical fighting experience OF
almost daily fstic encounters with
some of the worlds greatest pugilists.
The picture is pronounced by press
and public alike as one Of the best
ever produced on canvas before a mo-
ton picture audience,
Over $500 feet of film is taken up in
this one subject requiring three extra
full length reels Of films. The pic
ture goes into the details Of the con-
test most thoroughly and throws be-
fore the eyes Of the onlooker even
more of this great contest than he
might have seen were he actually pres
ent at the arena side. It shows the
fighting quarters and surroundings and
training quarters in addition to the
entire eleven rounds of the fight. In
it the spectators sees clearly the five
knockdowns and the final knockout,
bringing before his eyes many of the
details that he might have missed in
the excitement at the ring side
The picture is clean and instrlIc-
tive, showing the wonderful muscular
developments of these athletes who
have made a life long study Of the
training and development of muscle
and Drawn. 1t is a picture that will
interest ladies and children as well
as men and has been passed by the
board Of censorship of the licensed
motion picture exchanges q America.

Mutt and Jeff" at the Elite TODAY.
Ioday one year ago the Elite Theatre
opened It's doors to the public and
though not very favorably located its
success was assured from the very
hrst day. This success was due to the
policy OF the management to give the
public the very best that can be pro-
cured in the line Of motion picture
amusement. While the pictures repre-
sented only the best subjects made by
the Independent manufacturers. IL was
principally the the Elites high class
music which proved a great attraction
Tor II was departure from the man
ner In which picture shows had been
heretofore conducted ANY one NAV
build picture theatre, rent some films
and call 1t quality show" or the like.
out the Elite has shown how a picture
show can be conducted to appeaI even
to the most refined. It is doubtful if
there are any theaters in any CITY in
the whole county where the public has
Deen treated to such fine productions
as the Elite has treated its patrons by
showing Faust" "MasanieIlo." .'The
NestaI, Fall Of Troy" Don Juan
and other masterpieces too numerous
TO mention, with music composed bv
the greatest masters and rendered by
the Elite orchestra, besides playing
oVertures which can be heard only in
large cities rendered by great SYM
phony orchestras. In short, the Elite
made good" and the public acknowI-
edged the fact
1t is quite appropriate that on its
anniversary the Elite will show the
1rst of the great Mutt and JEFF" talk
ing picture series, entitled Mutt Joins
the Force" This picture is at present
the craze Of the country, and Justly
so, because II is revolutionizing the
moving picture field. The chara cters
are life portrayals of Bud" Fishers
famous cartoons and the film was pro-
duced under the personal supervision
Of Mr. Fisher. The greatest novelty
lies in the fact that the audience win
be able to know what the chara cters
on the screen are saying.
Tomorrow the principal feature at
the Elite will be The Declaration of
Independence" The story of this film
will appear tomorrow in this column.
