DANTE'S INFERNO" is
A WONDERFUL FILM
To Be Shown at the Colonial April
Z and &.

To Be Shown at the Colonial April
Z and 8.
The filming of Dante's Inferno"
at the Colonial theatre next Saturday
and Sunday marks a new epoch in
moving pictures in more respects
than one. Until now the moving pic
ture has been housed in humble quar-
tiers compared to the legitimate stage
and its environments have been of
d corresponding character Indeed,
the legitimate stage kept the NOV
ing picture at distance as an unde-
sirable relative. All this has been
changed, and the picture has made
a triumphant entry into the best
show houses of the country. 1t is
not of course the ordinary moving
picture to which the doors of the
great theatres have been opened but
the feature film, dealing with a sub
ject rich and interesting enough to
constitute an evenings entertain
ment. OF these feature films easily
the first is Dante's Inferno" Only
those who are in fair degree famiI-
lar with the poem can appreciate the
seemingly insurmountable obstacles
which met the maker ambitious
enough to render this great creation
into moving pictures. There was but
one way to solve the problem and
this was the most difficult way of all.
to follow with literal fidelity all the
conceptions and fancies of the poet.
This is the way that the makers Of
the film have chosen and it has led
them to success. From the first
canto to the last one is struck by the
startling realism of each foot of film.
Take for example the first canto. The
wandering of the poet through the
dark and gloomy forest, his adven-
tGre with the wild beasts. his repeat
Cd attempts to ascend the hill of sal
vaiOn. the fight from the famished
wolf, the descent of Beatrice from
the realm of the blessed into the lin
DO of Virgil, the pious poet of pagan
antiquity, are rendered with such a
fascinating power that one loses sight
of the fact that he is watching a pic
ture and not realities. The wonder
grows as the pictures progress.

GIVE CINDERELLA FOR
BENEFIT OF CHILDREN

The benefit entertainment for the
soldiers monument fund, to be staged
at the Illinois theatre tomorrow even
ing and Saturday matinee and night,
will be something out of the ordinary,
says Manager William Klinck. At the
same time the prices are low and within
the reach of all, it being the wish of the
monument association that the public
generally may assist in raising funds
for memorial to the soldier dead.
AS a special feature for the children
at next Saturdays matinee, in addi-
ton TO the regular program, the CON-
mittee has arranged for a photo-play
production of Cinderella" a fairy
story dear to the heart of every child.
Friends of the monument association
are taking a special interest in the
coming event, and the Clarendon or
chestra of Davenport, under the lead
ership of Mrs. ]. A. Sicily, has been
secured as a musinal feature for the
two days. The orchestra will render
"a pleasing program of popular music,
in which melodies of old war days will
be included.
The vocal numbers by Mrs. Mae
Richards-Casey, the two lecturettes by
Robert Rexdale, his subjects being
Expose of the White Slave Traffic"
and Prison Life in the Ohio Peniten-
tiaTy," together with an orchestral con-
cert and the war dramas in photo-play
form, assure the public a splendid en-
tertainment at the Illinois April 5th
and 9Th. The prices are 25 cents for
adults and 10 cents for children, and
tickets may be secured from members
of the monument association and at the
theatre hOE Offica

NOTES

New York, April 4.-Bob Moha of
Milwaukee battered Jim Smith of
New York so badly in a scheduled 10
round bout at the National Sporting
club last night that Smiths seconds
threw up the sponge to save their
man from a knockout in the eighth
round. Smith weiged III pounds at
the ringside and Moha 166. In every
round up to the eighth Moha toyed
with the big fellow and uppercut him
heavily. At the opening of the
eighth Mocha sent a hard left to the
stomach, putting Smith down for the
count of nine, and when he got up
Moha showered lefts and rights on
the head and face until the sponge
was thrown into the ring.
