Photo-Play Setting Forth H.
sorbug Story Of Human De-
uelopment to Be Presented
Freeof Charge BY International
Bible Students ASSOCIATION at
Auditorium for Next -Four
Weeks.

Beginning tomorrow at o'clock a
the Auditorium, the largest produc
ton of motion and stereopticon pic
lures ever brought to the city will b.
shown to the public.
Whoever will may now, without
money and without price, see and
hear the panorama and the story Of
mans life on earth. He may learn
through the medium of his eyes and
his ears, how through all the ages
one increasing purpose runs"
The moving picture film, beginning
with the far-off days when chaos lay
on the waters, is depicting for us
how God called the earth into being
from the void and how he has upheld
It and sustained it and carried it on
ward and upward toward its divinely
appointed goal. All this is done
while machinery. reproducing syn
enormously the tones of the human
voice. helps in entertaining, enlighten-
ing and instructing the auditor.
All this is being accomplished and
will be accomplished by the marvellous
photo-drama of Creation" produced
by the International Bible Students
Association. This body of earnest and
active supporters and disseminators of
Gods word is planning to place in
many large cities the photo-drama,
which tells in interesting easily I'M
derstandable pictures and words the
story of the earth's creation, progress
and development.
A start was made in New York City
opened to the public free of charge.
Men, women and children are throng-
ing to hear and see the story of their
ancestors and themselves. Before
them pass the pictures which tell how
the earth began and how it struggled
and is struggling upward to the light.
They sit entranced, for, as the drama
of dramas unfolds, the voice of the
hidden mechanical lecturer speaking
in tones of eloquence and might, ex-
plains clearly each picture. 1t requires
an effort of the mind to believe that ,
no actual, unseen man is speaking, for
the Illusion is perfect. In absorbing |
interest the pictures and lectures sur
pass the wild West" dramas and the !
crude comedies which hold the moving |
picture stage so often.
AMI the drama of Creation" is Of
Tered free to the public, to stimulate
interest in the story Of mans redemp-
hon by his Savior's grace. The pic
lures begin with the creation and con-
:fnue down to the present day, show
ng creation scenes and all important
,olitical, social, financial and religious
vents.
Here one may see, moving on the
anvas with every semblance OF reali-'
y, the outstanding figures with whom
8ading and reflection have made us
lmiIiar. Philosophers. statesmen,
'arriors, princes. potentates. scholars
nd artists. pass in fascinating success
