 ~we @mM 9@as of Death

There Is an exceedingly dramatic Eaff1eplay at the Colonial theater to- SlS-, entitled The Song of Death, which Is presented fn two reels The story is built on the success of a young ma- tton whose voice brings her fame and admiration She has sworn to her hus- bend that she will always be faithful to h-n, but at what a cost is learned from the picture. This is a drama of the highest class, and one that will appeal 10 all. Maurice Costello plays in Fellow Voyagers, picture made while the Vitagraph cast was en route TO Japan. The Naming of the Raw hide QnHen is still another of the big dramas telling of life in the west. The Elusive Turkey is the big com e5y scream, and Temples and StGtnes of Rome is q splendid scenic film of 1iis city of historic interest and mag ntficenoe- This is an entirely new bill, and tumorrUw also VIII appear a new programme.
