Injuries OF the Emperor Nero are de-
scribed, and then when the Christians
are most hated and Nero Is beginning
to lose his hold upon the populace he
plans TO burn the city and divert the
peoples attention from his own con

The Christians are blamed for the
fires and many OF them are crucitied

turn against Nero and be dies at the

sues him. These exciting scenes are
produced in the Avenue with splen-

that make them realistic and exciting.
