PART Nv OF CREATION DRAMA.

The concluding part Of Creation is
by no means inferior to the preceding
features. Tracing from the days of the
Apostles down to the present time the
history of the human family is graph
ically portrayed.
In the days of the early Christians
the prosecutions are presented in sig
'nificant way. Among these are the
films of the stoning of Stephen, and the
martyrdom of the Christians in the day
of Nero.
In Part ~ is magnificent pano-
rama, the only known reproduction Of
its kind in the world 1t is produced
from the famous painting, Nero at the

hibited in America at the Chicago ex-
position. subsequently it was destroy
ed by fire. There are few of the
many attractive features of Part lV

of story about Joe Knowles and the
picture of lady who was to do the
September Morn stunt in emulation of
the bean-eater artist who has just come
out of the woods. When Siegmund was
asked as to his destination, he slowly
closed one eye, winked lightly with the
