That Annette Kellermann, in the
spectacular photo play "Neptune's
Daughter" has proven to be a most
interesting summer attraction, is evil
denced by the large audiences at the
Orpheum Theatre since the opening
performance last Monday. This fea-
ture film will finish the week at the
Orpheu,n.
"Neptune's Daughter" with it's
scenes afioat and ashore. is tropical
and, yet, cooling. The scene in which
| the famous Miss Kellermann does her
diving and swimming speciality, is
probably the most popular in the
photo drama, although there are
numerous scenes that are far more
thrilling. the most blood-curdling be-
ing that in which Miss Kellermann,
bound hand and foot Is hurled into
the sea from a sixty-fve foot cliff.
Over 5000 feet of film are used in
the exposition of the story OF "Nep-
tunes Daughter" A thousand scenes
are shown, all breathing charm and
beauty heretofore unattained by
means of the camera. Bermuda and
its epVirons have been used as a
stage setting for this wonderful word
less play, and more beautiful and
appropriate background does not exist
anywhere else In the world. 1t took
three months of preparation and hard
work and cast Of several hundred
actors to complete the film, and the
cost was almost $4,000.
Matinees are given daily at $3.50.
When the Olympic Park Opera
Company opens it's season next Mon
day night with Naughty Marietta"
the theatre goers of Newark and vi
cinity will be treated to q stock pro-
duction given with a scenic display
that has never been equalled in this
section. For two weeks now Albert
Roberts, the park scenic artist, has
been at work under the direction Of
Edward p. Temple on the three set
tings that will be used in the pro-
duction.
AS the scene of the opera is laid in
New Orleans during the time of the
French occupation in 1880, a splendid
opportunity for scenic and costuming
effects is offered, and Mr.. Temple, the
stage director, has. taken advantage
of the occasion to put on an elaborate
production from a scenic as we'll as
musical standpoint.
