SATAN.

Millions paradise Lost" and klyp-
stok's Messiah were the two class
les used for the first two parts of the
moving picture classic Satan" which
will be exhibited at the Paris Grand
on Friday and. Saturday, March Il and
%. The theme of the five reels of in
teresting pictures is that of the his
tory of Man. Through distant dim
ages the pictures lead the audience
and it is almost as if one had lived
for countless years Eand watched the
coming of kings and the falling of
empires. Each scene is Of a different
era and all of it based upon biblical
shows the wagin9 of the s.battle sbe-
tween God and Satan and the defeat
of the evil spirits, the descent of
Satan to earth which he makes his
kingdom. The earth is subtle to his
influence and ready to follow in crime
and wick kedness. Adam and Eve are
the first to fall before Satan's work,
and at his instjgatlon Cain fashions
the first weapon and slays his brother.
The Messiah comes TO earth in the
second part and is quietly going Labout
his way performing miracles. preach
ing the truth of God and working for
the redemption of man. Satan lis not
yet through and having vainly at
tempted to taint the GLORIOUS soul of
Jesus he bribes Judas to deliver the
kiss of betrayal. Jesus in all his radi-
ance walks forth from the tomb and
once again Satan lis defeated. The
AmbrosiC Company expended 5000, 600
in giving the wonderful drama fit
ting presentation to the public. A
special machine is carried by the CON-
pany with expert operator in charge.
