London, Dec. 22.-Heavy fighting Is

In France and Belgium the allies

AT THE OPERA HOUSE
"The Lion of Venice


When George Kleine released his
quo Vadis' many people thought no
finer film drama could or would be
produced Yet within eight weeks he
followed with the great spectacular
triumph Antony and Cleopatra"
Now comes "The Lion of Venice" a
subject rivaling, if not exceeding, in
splendid effects it's illustrious predeces-
sors.
For the making OF THE Lion of
Venice the city fathers declared
half Holiday and cleared the famous
Grand Canal of all traffic in order that
the players might suffer no interfer-
ence. How great concession this
was can be understood when it is
known that never before in it's event
full history has the famous Canal been
closed. The Grand Canal is to Venice
what Broadway is to New York and
State street is to Chicago. To clear it
CT its thousands of gay gondolas car
rying the business men of Venice to
and from their work, is a big under
taking and would not lave been done
for any ordinary producer of motion
pictures. However, Venice has its
chamber Of commerce like all our
American cities and was keen to alb
sorb the tremendous advertising value
Of tie picture.
story of "The Lion of Venice
is quaint and unusual. 1t is laid III
the 14th century at the time of the
famous war between Venice and Tur-
key, when the former city was the
reigning naval power in the Nediter-
ranean
Captain Benito Rienzi, in command
of a small fleet of Venetian men-of-
war, returns to Venice and finds that
his sweet cart, Blanca, has been force
ed b. ner father to marry Count
Orsini, a powerful noble T:is leads
to dispute between the two men
which grows into an everlasting en-
nifty. Fearing the influence cf Cap
tain Rienzi the count plots to destroy
him and nearly succeeds in doing so
by pacing in Rienzi's room, where 1t
is later found by the police, forged
letter from the Grand Vizier of Tur-
key to Rienzi concerning the sale Of
the Venetian plan of war. Captain
Rienzi is exiled from his country and
joins pirate crew, taking cis sisters
with him. Sometime later, Count
Orsini at the head of a fleet of war
ships is being de1eated by the Turkish
Squadron In the emergency, Rlenzi
forgets his hatred for both Orsini and
the land that had cast him off, and
goes vallantly into the fight against
the Turks.
