screen presentation of Count Leo
Tolstois "Kreutzer Sonata" pro-
duced by the William Fox forces fea-
turing three Broadway stars, Nance
O'Neil, William E. Shay and Theda
Bara. So as to prepare the audience
for the dramatic play and have their
minds in the proper atm osphere spe-
cial green lights in the foots have
been installed and Ernest F. Jores,
the Fox theater organist, will render
the william Tell overture prior to
the showing of the big film, and Fox
patrons will enjoy every detail of
the performance from the beginning
to the end.
Count Leo Tolstoi has woven a
wonderfully compelling and heart
gripping story about. the life of his
heroine, Miriam. young Russian
girl Through an unfortunate love
affair Miriam is threatened with dis
grace Her father induces Gregor
Randor, a struggling violinist, to
marry her, for money considera-
ton, and the couple go to America
where they are later followed by Mi
RAMS family, including her sister,
Celia. Between Celia and Gregor a
clandestine love affair develops. De-
spite their secrecy the wife discovers
the truth and torn between love of
her little boy and outraged pride, she
confronts her tickle husband and un-
natural sister. Her revilings and the
denunciations of her father are alike
unavailing and at last, driven to des-
peration, she takes vengeance into
her own hands.
That "Kreutzer Sonata will be
voted the best and most dramatic
production ever exhibited in this
city can only be cleaned from the
many excellent reports received from
other cities in which it has been
shown. Several single reel comedies
will be shown in conjunction with this
! masterpiece of the film age.

The IRE was discovered at 3:1o

the chemical engine were put into
use. Two lines were run from Firth

Considerable water came through
