COLONIAL THEATRE.
Glove Snow and Ice" Three Reel
Broadway Star acknowledgment

Distinctly a story with one purpose,
that to entertain, this fine drama of
Lake George in the winter comes as
a refreshing moment in a season of
all big feature pictures. Featured in
it is Wallie Van, the inimitable Cutey
of the big Vitagraph cast, and appear
ing with him is Mira Frazer, whole
some sort of girl, with a general de-
sire to effervesce. She is given album
dant opportunity to do so in this stir
ring romance of the winter. Ice-boat-
ing, tobogganing, skating and in fact
oil of the healthy sports peculiar to
ice and snow are introduced, amid the
environment of a frolicking mid-win-
ter carnival crowd.
Another splendid film is the one en-
titled Her Other Self. Lubin two
reel production, in which is starred
Velma Whitman and L. c. Shumway,
two of the strongest actors in the big
Lubin cast. 1t is a story with a pro-
found plot, and one that cannot fail
to arouse the utmost spirit of enthu-
siasm in the minds of all who see it.
The Unsparing Sword is the title of
chapter 10 of the Road O'Strife series,
and in which Crane Wilbur is starred.
This completes this superb program

ANNOUNCEMENT
AT THE AUDITORIUM,
William Farnum in Elaborate Film
Version of Wilson Barrett's Inspfr-
ing Drama, "The Sign of the Cross"

William Farnum. the prominent
American star, and an exceptionally
able supporting company, including
hundreds of people, are presented in
the Famous Players Film company's
mammoth five reel production of Will
son Barrett's sublime and famous
drama, The Sign of the Cross, the
Paramount feature at the Auditorium
today and tomorrow.
This great film attraction is con-
.ceded to be the foremost dramatic
spectacle ever produced in America.
The note of solemn reality that per-
vades the story, the gentle maiden
martyrs last moments on earth, and
the atmosphere of unassailable purity,
simplicity and faith which dominate
the crucial scenes of the drama, make
the subject one of the tenderest por-
trayalS of a noble story ever presented
to the motion picture public.
The film makes a deep and abiding
impression. In the pictures of the in
spired martyrs going gladly to their
strengthened by the grace of God to
win his immortal crown; of the final
trial and temptation of the Christian
girl and lastly in the triumphant calm
of the last moments of the woman and
the man, strong in faith and love- ev-
erything is so beautifully felt, so sim
ply conceived, so claSSically treated,
that the appeal of the subject is over
towering.
The noble theme, the mastery hand
ling, the reverence for sacred things,
the solemn pathos, the tender symbol
ism, the classic reserve of the con-
Guiding scenes, have all been dwelt
upon with generous eulogy by writers
of every school and divines of every
church. 1t is felt that as a work of
art, the true universally of Christian
worship has been expressed with I'M
imagined power.
The superb construction of the pho
toplay, the immense numbers that
throng the scenes. the continuous APP
peal to the emotions, the sympathy
with which the various characterize
lions have been delineated, distinguish
the subject, and make it one that will
never be forgotten.
The seventh episode, and one of the
best of the entire series of the Broken
Coin, will also be shown today and to-
morrow, as well as the fourth num-
Der of the Paramount Travel series.

LIGHTNING.
How to be Reasonably Safe From Il.

In the August Woman's Home Com
panion, Rollin Lynde HART writes an
intensely interesting page entitled
Lets Talk About the Weather He
tells what the signs Of rain are, and
he also describes some of the phe-
nomena of thunder and lightning. He
says that lightning hits cows oftener
than people, barns oftener than houses,
country dwellings oftener than city
dwellings. trees at the edge of a wood
oftener than those in the thick of it,
oaks oftener than naples and human
beings outdoors oftener than human
beings indoors. He then gives the
following advice as to what to do in
case of lightning: run for a house
not 4 barn. Once inside a
house. stay there. By actual count it
is fourteen times as safe as outdoors.
Outdoors, it is another tale, for there
you may be crazy enough to seek
shelter under trees. Don't misunder-
stand me when I tell which trees are
most dangerous-an are dangerous,
none are safe-and my only object is
to drop hint to people who are about
to pitch a tent in the woods and who.
consequently, risk being caught out at
night and unable to run for their lives.
With the proportion of hits indicated,
the list follows: Oaks, 54; poplars, "a !;
