As an evidence of the popular
ity of motion pictures the COM
ing theatrical season Is bringing
forth a number of big travelling
picture shows. several of which
will be seen at the Tacoma thea

from extended runs in the big
New York theaters where regular
theatrical prices are charged and
many of them have remained on
Broadway for an entire year.
Among the first of these photo
productions to be seen here will
be the remarkable French nine
reel production of Victor Hugo's-
sensational story. LES Misera-

xnown French actors.

ing very soon. She will be here
at the Tacoma theater early in
November and her engagement
will be one of the most notewOr-
thy of the season. Miss Ellington
Is among the foremost of Ameri-
can stars and is intimately known
to local theater-goers and the fact
that she is appearing In one Of the
greatest successes the East has
ever seen in years makes her ap-
pearance here even more interest

and 1t is a foregone conclusion
that the engagement here, which
Is for two nights. will be far too
short to accommodate all those
who will want to see the play.
