With The Fall of Troy everyone
though the possibilities of the moving
picture exhausted and was Of the
opinion that this picture would stand
as the greatest Of all times. But hard
ly six months elapsed when Europe
was startled with g production of
Zigomar, a picture Of unbelievable
ma gritude. Great scenic effects, thrills
that will take ones breath away and
wonderful acting make Ali's three-reel
feature truly the greatest film ever
produced. 1t will be shown at the
Elite today.
A special note from the police off,
Gals Of Paris states that numerous
robberies are being committed by a
band that IL using the letter ~" Us
their signature. Paulin Broquet, the
great detective, prepares for the
Struggle with the ~ gang, and swears
to get hold of the leader. Zigomar, of
this mysterious band, and bring him
to justice. One scene shows the de-
tective in the Alps pursuing Zigomaf,
another shows scenes taken in the
Moulin Rouge. Paris. The last effort
of Zigomar is to obtain a necklace,
known as Esmee, and the detective,
disguised as a marquis, goes to pro-
tect the dancer, but the Y" gang spy
him, and lock him in a dressing room.
The festivities at the ball begin by
having Esmee lead the procession
wearing all her jewels. In the dark
ness we see tiny flames light up, and
Esmee appears In her fascinating fire
dance, going faster and faster every
turn until she falls to the floor, ex-
hausted. Zigomaker takes advantage
OF everybody's eyes being on the ex-
hausted dancer, and sets fire to the
hangings. This is terrible spectacle.
The once gay scene ends in, flame and
terror, while Zigomar and his band
stoop over those falling unconscious In
the smoke and rob them Of their
jewels.
The detective is half stified by the
smoke. He guesses what has hap
pened, and succeeds in bursting the
door open. Entering the ball room
with the police. he catches Zigomar
| leaning over the corpse of the dancer,
and removing the necklace. This time
