saw the heir apparent making his
ceremonial journey about the great
salon, while the guests drew up along
the walls. Upon the archduke's arm
his wife, the duchess of Hohenberg,

Son today's big programme at the
Colonial theatre is the mammoth three
reel spectacle entitled Out of the Ruins
by the Edison scaSt, with Mabel Tru-
nellie and the famous Pat O'Malley,

This is a fire picture. embodying some
of the most spectacular and realistic
fire scenes ever photographed for the
screen. The effect at the close of the
second part, when the whole wall of
a building .collapses with Miss Tru-
nellie in thes midst of the raging cata-
clysn, has never beenl surpassed. One
scene shows the principals escaping
from the fire on a rope suspended over
the, seething interior. The rope catch
es fire and the couple, are dashed
against the walls of thekburning build
ing, just as it falls. Mary Pickford is
seen in one of her greatest successes
entitled LAS IttIs In Life and will charm
all by her bewitching loneliness.
Charlie Chaplin appears in the roar
ing comedy In the Park, a medley of
mischievous and convulsing pranks,
