MANY MINERS LACK WORK
Twenty Thousand Idle IN Illinois, u
10 Estimated-operators Blame
Adverse Legislation. ....

Springfield, ILL.,, March 29.-More
than 1.40O coal miners in and near
Springfield have been idle for the last
three weeks. and 1t is estimated that
there are 10000 in the state out OF
employment
The present condition is very much
like It was last spring, when 10000
Illinois miners were without work.
There is small demand for coal. The
operators claim this condition is due
to adverse legislation, which brings
the cost of producing the coal up to a
figure where the Illinois operators can
not compete with other states.

FALL OF TROY
At THE gem

Large stage productions have been
made since the earliest days of the
Grecian drama and the Roman theatre,
when great masses of soldiers ar
rayd themselves in the theatre or
arena for the edification of the excita-
BILE public. The Motion Picture Cam
era has produced many big dramas
and pictures of days that are past and
in recent years not few of such rep
reservations have been made but none
can equal THE Fall of Troy" it is
beautiful and so high in scenic display
and the number of actors and others
involved as to stagger belief. The
early scenes are worth remembering
and reviewing again and again. Down
to the minutest details of fountain
plant, walk, wall, live peacock, char
lot, ancient covered wagons, dresses,
jeweled ornaments, musical instru-
ments and almost everything that the
historian has recorded and the artist
painted are herein reproduced with
wonderful faithfulness. The following
scenes showing the Trojans in their
city; the withdrawal of the Greeks;
their assemblage aboard their feet;
the moving of the giant horse into
Troy; the exit from the interior OF
the horse of the Grecian soldiers and
the firing and destruction of the city
are all on par with other portions OF
this magnificent picture. This pic
ture should be seen by all and no
where could It fail to create a sensa
ton. AS an educational picture 1t is
especially to be commended.
"The Fall of Troy" has been secured
at an enormous rental and will be
shown at the Gem Theatre Tuesday
June 9Th. matinee and night. The ad
mission at the Gem on the above date
will be ten cents.
