As a matter of fact, Sulphur is a

DANTE'S INFERNO"
AT THE COLONIAL
Important Work to Have First Show
ing Here Next Saturday and
Sunday in Extraordinary
ENGAGEMENT
Engagement.


The attraction to be shown at the
Colonial next Saturday and Sunday
consists of Dante's Inferno" that
soul-gripping ana immortal work
which for centuries has enlisted the
admiration of countless students and
scholars. The cinematographic re-
production, while preserving through
out an uncompromisingly high artis-
tic standard, is nevertheless well
adapted to the understanding and en-
joyment of the general public. All
the great sceens, many of which have
been made familiar by the pencil of
Dore, are faithfully reproduced, but
with superiority of design and ex-
equation which confounds even the
art OF Dore.. Altogether there are
five reels properly divided in sequence
TO suit the poets original plan.
No important feature has been omit
ted. A special lecture has been pre-
pared to go with the picture in order
| to make the various incidents clear
to everybody. Special music. and d
carefully arranged series of effects
| help In giving an air OF realism to the
production. Never before has an at
tempt been made to present to the
public work OF the merit and magni-
tude possessed by Dante's Inferno,
until band of renowned Italian ar.
/ lists determined to make this work
accessible to the masses by arrang
ing a representation of it in moving
pictures. This gigantic task occupied
more than two years and engaged
the arduous and unremitting effort.
of these artists. The result of theil
labors has been extraordinary. They
have produced what must be regard
ed as the browning achievement II

round decision to Charley White, also
of Chicago, by a wide margin, at East
Chicago last night. In only the first
round, which was about even, did Ket-
chel show any signs of being a match
for his opponent. In the others the
clever White jabbed, hooked and cross
ed Ketchel with telling punches, and
a sight. His right eye was closed. he
was bleeding from the nose and mouth.
and his face was swollen badly Ket-
chefs eye had to be lanced and the
punishment he took on the body and
kidneys was evidenced by the rosy
color of his body. White did not bear
mark of the encounter, and his clev'
erness and ring craft stood out in a
striking contrast to the crude work OF
the willing Ketchel, who showed bet
ter at infighting than he did at spar
ring at long range Ketchel knew his
only chance of victory was a right
swing. which he invariably telegraph
ed. White either stepped inside OIL
cut of range of the blow. Not once
during the contest did Ketchel show
any signs of quitting, and his game
ness and willingness won many friends
for him. There was not a knockdowr
in the fight In the fifth round Ketche
slipped to the floor after missing {
right swing, and this was the only time
either man went to the canvas. Aftel
the first round the fight was all il
Whites favor. and in each succeeding
round he increased his lead. and hi!
! exhibition was a clever one, which
gave him the verdict by wide mar
gin. Chief of Police Mccormick o

nights show was the last that will b,

many little promoters who are begin

that the patrons have not had thei
