There is a pork barrel in the rail-

Further. it was established. as con-

We hold that in the face of such

Lion and Mouse
In Southern Circuit

The Montgomery Theater on Friday
last gave their patrons, who were not
fortunate enough to witness the original
production of Charles Klein's famous
drama 1.-THE Lion and the Mouse" that
made such a tremendous hit through
out the country a few years ago. an OPP
portunity to seeing II portrayed on the
silent screen. This latest offering of the
Lubin Company is being distributed
throughout the South by the General
Film Company, they controlling the out
put of the Lubin Studios.
THE Lion and the Mouse" caused a
great sensation when produced In the
regular theaters mainly because It was
true to life and exposed, through one
of its principal characters. the unscrup-
ulous methods often pursued by indi-
yiduals of great wealth. and the pro-
ducing company has cleverly trans
ferred this great drama to the films in
six parts all of which are a credit
to the industry. Hence the most talkIS
of play of the age adopts the more mod
ern title of the most talked Of photoplay
OF the age and makes 1t possible for the
nations millions to witness the produc-
ton which proved itself a benefit men
tally, morally and Internationally. The
consensus of opinion prevailing among

Margaret Joslin,
/ Movie Star, Leaps
Into Wrong Tank
Sham Rescue Turned Into Reality
Saved by Quick Action
of Husband.

Margaret Joslin Todd was the victim
of a literal faux pas on her own part
recently. The exigencies of story
called for her appearance in a water
scene. There was to be rescue from
billowy grave. The weather was cold
and so the big Sutro Baths in San
Francisco were chosen as the locale of
the scene. These baths cover several
acres and the tanks are of varying
depths.
The popular Essanay character wom-
an can not swim, so the rescue" was
to take place in the four-foot tank. In
her hurry to get it over. Mrs. Todd
omitted to look at the indicated depth.
and before the rest of the enactors
realized what was happening, the sham
rescue resolved itself into the real thing.
In other words. Mrs. Todd fioundered,
screaming and choking. in the six-foot
tank. shrieking that she was drowning.
Fortunately, she was rescued by her
husband, who plunged into the pool and
dragged his exhausted spouse to the
platform.

800 ANIMALS
STAMPEDE ON
MOVIE RANCH
Wild. and Domestic Beasts Panic.
Stricken From CIoudburst
in California.

A stampede of 800 animals, wild
of the Universal Film Manufacturing
Company in the San Fernando VAL
ley, Cal, recently, as a result OF a
cloudburst In the midst of a heavy
rainstorm.
Horses, steers, elephants, camels
and smaller beasts were rendered
frantic by the downpour, and, break
ing all bonds, they raced wildly
through the main portion of the
ranch, endangering life and wrecking
everything in their path. The ami
mails were only stopped from scatter
ing in the rugged mountains of the
district by the fences which surround
the property.
The streams Of water which rushe d
down from the hillsides were of such
volume that the under timbers of two
stages were carried away and large
vegetable garden, from which the
ranch kitchen Is supplied, was mum
dated.
Charley" one of the largest ele-
plants in the United States, gathered
the spirit of rebellion from the other
animals and dashed through every
obstacle In his way. He ran through
a siX-foot board fence as If it had

against each other as fellows in mis-
fortune, was an incident in the gen.

In Vesuvius' Crater
With a Movie Camera

Manager John Evins, OF the vaudette.
who recently had an unusually realis-
tic picture showing a drama enacted on
the summit of Mount Vesuvius, Is in re-
ceipt of an interesting clipping from
The Boston Post telling how an Ameri-
can scientist armed with motion pic
ture camera actually did make q de-
scent to the extreme bottom Of the era
ter. The Americans name is Frederick
Burlington.
Mr.. Burlington said that three Ital-
lians. Sonnino. Formassino and Haudini,
aided him. They slept three night on
the top of the mountain, waiting for a
propitious moment for the descent. This
launched over the precipice and the
descent began. On account OF the I'M

|TALY'S MOST
NOTEDACTRESS
AS CLEOPATRA
Atlantans to See Signora Gio-
wanna Gonzales as Charmer
of the Nile.

George Kleine's efforts to make his
latest and greatest photo drama,
Antony and Cleopatra" historically
and scenically correct, led him and
his assistants into some of the most
interesting historical and artistic re-
searches that have been made for
dramatic purposes in recent times.
y After securing the cooperation Of
Novelli, Giovanni Gonzales. Matifde di
Mario and others of the most ia
nous actors and actresses in Italy
Mr.. Kleine went to almost unbeliev-
able expense to pictorially reproduce
the gorgeous descriptions which he
found in the old Roman and Egyp-
tan histories. By so doing he sue
ceeded in faithfully reproducing the
splendors of the Roman Empire and
the luxurious dangerous note Of the
Orient. 1t Is these features, as well
as the fact that the drama is one of
spectacular and powerful heart in
terest, that make this picture differ
ent from and more valuable than any
other photoplay yet produced. The
production has the stamp of true
grandeur.
Atlantans will be given the oppor-
tunity of seeing this picture all this
week. beginning tomorrow, at the
Montgomery Theater. Mr.. Kleine's
personal representative in Atlanta
and the Montgomery management
both feel that this is the most not
able offering they have ever presented
to the Atlanta public.
Dramatically the story Is the
strongest yet offered in photo drama,
and affords magnificent opportunities
to the players. The Marc Antony"
of Signor Antony Novelli is virile
masterpiece, even SURPRISING his in
depreciation of "Vinitius," in "Qou
Vadis." Signora Giovanni Gonzales
Is a realization of all ideals as "Cleo-
patra," the voluptuous beauty of the
Mile, whose, charms almost destroyed
an empire.

Horrors Of Absinthe
Portrayed in Drama
King Baggot Studied Types Of Paris
Ian Underworld Before He
Undertook Role.

Atlanta physicians who saw King
Baggot in the wonderful photoplay,
"Absinthe," last week. were intensely
Interested in his portrayal of the hor-
rors through which the confirmed abb
sinthe fiend is forced to go. They
say that his depletion is pathologically
correct as well as dramatic master
piece, and that the film represents prob
ably the Inost definite idea of the effects
of the French drug curse that has ever
been presented in either drama or liter
ature to the American people.
When it was decided to produce Alb
sinthe,'' King Baggot and Leah Baird
went to Paris to study realistic condi-
tons there. They watched the alb
sinthe fiends of the boulevards and I'M
derworlds with their peculiar methods
of mixing the green drink with sugar
and water, and saw the effects upon
them afterwards. The result is that
"Absinthe" has a thrilling realism that
could have been achieved in no other
way. Because of its unusual character
the Savoy management has decided to
bring this picture back for a return en-
gagement, and 1t will be seen again on
Tuesday.
