"a Pair of Sixes" was an inst0n-

BIBLICAL STORY IS
GREAT PICTURE FILM

The story of Samson is the story of
the strongest man who ever lived. His
name today is known to almost every
man, woman and child throughout the
civilized world, and even to those who
do not know his story, is a synonym of
strength. But besides that, the thrill
ing story of the life of this man, to
whom God gave power and strength
such as no man possessed, and to whoa
He gave "carte blanche" in rightiug
his wrongs, is the most spectacular, no
mantle and tragic of any of the heroes
of antiquity.
The film representation which the
Universal has evolved from the history
of Samson, and told in six wonderful
reels, follows the account in the Book
of Judges, with startling accuracy
Nothing is left out. The film shows

THREE PLAYS AT ONCE.

For a director to have three plays
in the course of production at the same
time, all over two reelers, is rather out
of the ordinary. Yet o. A. c. Lund,
Eclairs most brilliant director, is
guilty of it at the present. Snow
Drift" two-reel play of the north
west; Regina" a three-reel play
dealing with contemporary political
conditions, and "Pictures in the Fire

all in the course of production at the
Fort Lee studio. Again, Mr.. Lund is
the author of them all, and is enacting
the lead male roles.

Wrapped in flames and T..h the

of gasoline, only two men Of her
crew of thirty-six escaped death
Tuesday when the British steamer
Vedra ran ashore near Barrow "a
port near Liverpool} during heavy
gale, broke up and was burned.
So suddenly did the fire break out
when the vessel grounded that only
four of the ships company had time
to reach her weather side. These
were the chief engineer and three
sailors. Their predicament, however,
was almost as bad as that Of the
others on board, who were unable to
reach a vantage point. for hardly
had the vessel touctSd bottom when
the jagged rocks cut through her
keel and broke the cofferdam con-
tanning the oil.
Flowing in a torrent from the rent
in the cofferdam, the gasoline invad-
ed the ergine-room. In seconod it
had ignited and spread to all parts
Of the vessel, also pouring through
rents into the sea.
Reaching the weather side of the
ship the chief engineer gave the three
seamen with him hfebelts he had
picked up in his fight, and, mount
ing the rail, plunged headlong into
the sea, in an effort to reach. nearby
tug endeavoring to pull of the Vedra.
The engineer had taken only two OF
three strokes when a huge wave
picked him up and dashed him
against the side of the steamer, kill
ing him.
Two of the seamen Immediately
followed the engineer and swan un-
til they were picked up. They were
badly burned. The other seaman,
unable to swim, feared to take the
plunge and was burned to death
where he stood.
