Two thousand people We're in attend
ance at the Majestic Theater yester-
day, to view the picture, Traffic In
Souls which is filing an engagement
of one week, with three performances
daily at 2:30, Z and 8. So many pic
lures and plays have been presented of
late dealing with the so-called white
slave problem that many have gone too
far in the way of obscene scenes that it
was only a matter of time until the
public grew tired of them, but with
"Traffic In Souls the photo-dram of
the Universal Film Manufacturing
Company, nothing but the greatest
praise has been paid wherever ii has
been shown. The metropolitan dailies
and the press throughout the country,
as well as every society of moral uplift
is giving this production their unani-
nous support, as the moral lesson it
teaches is one that every man, woman
and child should see.-Advertisement.
