For beau V, charm and re
finement OF idea it would be
hard to surpass George Klelne's
photo drama production of the
Last Days of Pompeii, adapted
from Lord Bulwer Lytton's ia
nous novel. Produced in Italy
these pictures bear the master
ly artistic stamp that charact-
erizes the foreign productions
and are revelations in photo
graphic beauty and skill. Mr..
Kleine has practically avoided
the sensationally melodramatic
note and has emphasized the
idyllic qualities. The pathetic
and hopeless love story of the
blind flower girl, Nydia, is new
ertheless related with the ut
most fidelity and holds the rapt
attention of the spectator from
beginning to end. Mr.. Kleine
has established a national repu-
tation with his wonderful photo
drama productions Of "Quo
Vadis," and "The last days cf
Pompeii't though of slightly less
magnitude, will add largely to
his reputation as the foremost
photo drama producer of this
continent. "The last days IF

sued an order forbidding any person
conveying supplies across the bridge
beyond which the Industrial Work
eFs are encamped.
This move had been ordered by the
city and county authorities Yesterday
in the belief that it would quickly re-
suit in the disintegration Of the army.
1t was explained today when the
source OF the 'army's" supply fur
nished yesterday, was discovered, that
the order for single given by citi-
zens' committee should be understood
to mean to "apply until further no
tice."
The result OF the action in shutting
off food became apparent when men
began leaving the camp singly and in
groups. BY nightfall the army, which
had numbered 1900 on Monday. had
dwindled to 1000 or 1900 tuesday,
had been further reduced to about 600
men. whose leaders were finding it diff
ficult to hold them in hand.
This hegira is proving disastrous to
the rural districts Of Yolo county,
which are now overrun by hundreds

demands for food. Perhaps half the
