in sensual orgies, little dreaming of
the retribution awaiting him from an
abused and just God.
A great fete is portrayed in one of
the great rooms of the palace, when
suddenly a terror stricken and dis
heveled slave bursts into the room
screaming in terror: THE Romans

A scene of indescribable confusion
follows. The soldiers seize their wea-
pons and rush aimlessly hither and
thither. The great multitude flies
to the defense of their beloved city
and ruler.
A great battle follows in which
Antony fought valiantly, but despair
ingly. The walls of the city were torn
down and the horde of defenders,

Antony is amazed and astounded
at her sudden appearance at the pal
ace, and angrily orders here to return
to Rome.
Octavia, with a sorrow that a for
saken and broken-hearted woman
only can feel. appeals to Cleopatra
from whom she receives nothing but
contempt and scorn.
A slave woman, Chairman by name
is rebuked by an Egyptian noble for a
trespass, and is saved from punish
ment by Antony, This act brought on
trouble for the court, as the gentry
FESTIVE on account of the sway OF
the Roman, call upon Cleopatra and
demand that the country be rid OF
the hated soldier. Her reply was
characteristic of the woman. Il am
thy ruler, dogs! Say no more or
will have rid of thee instead"
The slave woman whom Antonyfhas
befriended warns him of the plot, and
the conspirators are promptly execut-
ed by the enraged queen. Antony, in
gratitude for the act of CHAIRMAN
gently kisses her, and the woman falls
to her knees and declares her love
for the Roman. Cleopatra, who over
hears this declaration and sees the
caress of Antony, orders the woman
to be publicly fiogged, and her de-
moniacal rage not being appeased, has
her thrown to the crocodiles, in this
way defending her passionate love.
Rejected by her husband and in
suited by Cleopatra, Octavia returns
to Rome and informs some of the
Senators of her treatment. The in
dignation of the Senators runs high,
and a decree is passed branding An
tony traitor to his country, and he
is informed of the edict. A soldier
delivers the message of the Senate in
anger and rough language. and An

panic stricken, were driven back from
their boats. The torch was applied,
and as the flames burst forth, pro-
claiming the destruction of the city,
the Romans cut their way through the
natives to the palace and into the
sacred precincts Of the throne itself.
The gates of the city were torn down
and the frantic populace rushed from
the burning city to seek safety in the
hills.
Antony. realizing that he was lost,
pleads with a servant to STAY him.
This his follower refuses to do, but
runs his barred sword into his own
breast, showing his chief how OF die.
In an instant Antony draws his sword
and plunges it into his own heart,
falling beside his servant.
When Cleopatra, rushing in from
another room, finds Antony, the only
man she ever loved, dead, she falls
upon his body and breaks into lamen-
tations.

Cleopatra
Seeks Safety.

Her army completely routed, many
of her great warriors dead, and the
city threatened with destruction,
Sleopatra turns to a means of h ,r
own safety relying on her charms of

was a true Roman, and shakes her
off as he would a pest He bids her

opens with the landing Of Marc An

Cleopatra Queen of Egypt, for recent
depredations of her people on Roman
borders.
The scene depicts Marc Antony and
his army on the banks Of the river,
where he is ret by messengers from
the Queen, who have been sent to ex-
plain and apologize. Furious at The

mighty Queen bow to his will, he in

Fifty Years
Before Christ.

The story dates back almost fifty
years before Christ, and is based on
historical facts, the scenes depicted
on the screen being the same as those
on which the real tragedy occurred,
and the participants in many cases
were probably descendants OF those
who took part in the original drama
1000 years ago.
A horde of 1900 persons were used
in the production, and the cost was so
great as to be almost unbelievable.

Tragic Death
Of Cleopatra.

A Roman soldier brusquely enters
and lays before her the tablet bear
ing the death sentence of Octavius.
She plucks the serpent from the
basket and applies It to her breast,
saying:
YEA, Caesar thou hast conquered,
but in thy triumph Cleopatra shall
not walk. This only doth Egypt ask
of Caesar-that he suffer her to lie IN
the tomb OF Antony FAREWELL"
The departure of the Romans and
their landing in Egypt, their mid
night march and surprise attack on
the Egyptians is all visualized by the
camera with g. beauty and charm
hardly conceivable. The suicide of
Antony and death of Cleopatra by the
sting of the asp, together with tho
triumphant return of Octavius to
Rome, are all shown with consum-
mate art. The story is one Of charm
and spectacular beauty, and has no
peer.
And the lesson:
What profit q man II he gain the
whole world and lose his own SOUL"
and the same applies to the woman
who was used of Satan to destroy the
man she loved and herself as we'll. It
teaches us to beware of the song Of
the siren, lest she transform us into
beasts and destroy us.
