A NEW WONDER.

The London dailies and illustrated
weeklies have been devoting many pages
to the wonders OF a motion picture known
as "Cabiria" The produced is based on
a scenario written by Gabrielle D'Annun-
zio. and the story Is OF Hannibaps cam
paign against Rome and the fall Of Car
thage.
We %ill not yet attempt review OF this
picture, but merely remark that it is
without question the most gigantic, lavish
and spectacular subject ever shown on
the motion picture screen in this country.
Things move at such pace in the motion
picture game that, however great film
may be. a greater one soon appears, but
we think that the "Cabiria" will reign SUI
preme for some time.
The picture was made in Italy by the
italia Company. 1t will be shown In some
Boardway theatre at a date not yet made
public. but probably not more than a
week distant. Further details will be an
nounced next week, together with re-
view OF the production. The American
tour will be under the management Of
Werba & Luescher.

GRIFFITH AGAIN.

week. The picture was made under inc
direction of d. w. Griffith, whose judith
Of Bethulia" and THE Single Standard
attracted much attention in film circles
short time ago. The former production
was regarded by critics as unequalled IN
American motion pictures. Home, Sweet
Home" should prove fully as popular, be-
cause. besides being directed by Mr.. Grif-
fifth, the principal parts are played by the
same persons. When the director left the
Biocraph to ion the Mutual most of his
company went with him. and these play
ers all appear in this picture, in addition

stars.
Home, Sweet Home" is a unique ar

American. who has made a fortune as

pier Plle HIs sepuIcher7

A weird explanation OF the disap-
pearance OF a workman while the Gar
den pier at Atlantic City was in
course of erection. more than year
ago is given much credence. II was
believed that the workman fell into
the surf and was drowned, but the
present rumor is to the effect that he
fell into a caisson In which monster
concrete piling was being nodded, and
is solidly imbedded in this piling.
Color is lent to this theory by the fact
that no trace OF the workman's body
has been discovered, and other work
men expressed doubt at that time
that he fell into the ocean.
One of the workmen stated that an
automatic contrivance discharged a
ton or more of concrete into the cais.
son a moment after the workman fell
as It was believed. into the surf. II
is his theory that the mans body was
deluged with the concrete. and that
the piling was completed as a grave
for the man.
