Cines Company OF Italy, presented by
George Kleine, which has been here
time and again this season only to be
recalled by the insistent public demand.
Sienkiewicz's enthralling tale is repro
duced in this photo drama with amaz-
ing fidelity, and all Of the episodes of
interest IN the book are pictorialized In
detail The leading dramatic talent of
Italy was utilized for the principal
roles. while in the big scenes thousands
of players were required. A popular
scale Of prices will prevail, and the
box office will be open all afternoon for
the sale of seats.
