Mrs. Leslie Carter at Hip Today.


'Du Barry is founded on the ia
nous stage play of that name and
features Mrs. Leslie Carter in the title
role. The story is in six parts. and
occupied nearly six months in the
making. Under direction of George
kleine all principal characters in the
stage drama were taken to the kle1ne
studios in Grugliasco, Italy. where the
proper environment could be had and
the many antiquities used in the pic
ture obtained at first hand. Even then
it was necessary to move the company
OF Paris and thence to Naples to get
the correct local color for several of
the important big scenes.
Spoilers.
1t has been the fashion of late to
picturize the work of famous authors,
and Selig has advanced this as a fine
art in The Spoilers" from the book
by Rex Beach, in most spirited and
vital fashion. This moving picture
play in nine reels, had its first public
representation at the spacious and
beautiful new Strand theater on
Broadway, in New York city, and has
continued there the feature, ar
guing for its profitableness and pop
ularity. 1t followed this success as a
regular fixture at the Studebaker
theater, on Michigan avenue, Chicago,
where it has continued to do wonder
full business to capacity houses
The significant voice of the great
centers where this picture has a show
ing. speaks volumes for this prOduc-
ton, which undoubtedly will become
a phenomenal attraction wherever
presented. THE Spoilers is as virlle
and as red blooded a romance as any
that has happened in the American
class during the decade. 1t has been
visualized in stunning fashion reflect
ing upon the aStutenesS of its progenl-
tor, William n. Selig, and the deep,
live sympathetic sense of it's producer,
Colin Campbell well as in the Wig
orous and responsive action of Will

At the Aurora.
Today and Thursday the Aurora
theater is offering an unusually well
balanced Vitagraph program that
should please its patrons immensely.
The principal offering is a drama, |
Two Women" a Broadway star fea-
ture in three parts. The story depicts
the charm of two entirely different
types of women, that of one being
such as to lead men to death and de-
Spair, and the charms of the other to
love and happiness. The other two
films on the Aurora's program are
of the comedy type that are proving
so popular in the New York motion
