AT THE THEATRES
MAJESTIC.

1t may be true that the title The
Niger" is not altogether aesthetic;
that it has wonderful drawing quail
ities as u photoplay attraction was
demonstrated by the crowds that Wis
tied the Majestic yesterday.
The management has no apologies
to offer for THE Niger; it requires
none. 1t is just what we said It was.
A great play, supcrbly acted by Will
liam Farnum and remarkable cast,
each selected to represent distinct
type.
Farnum was strong in ''The Spoil
ers,' he is UNNECESSARILY better in this
play, for greater demands are made
on his acting ability As To the ethics
Of the play itself, each individual is en-
titled to his own opinion. That it is
moral and clean is attested by the
censorship tag.
Today is the last day OF this Won
derful production and 1t is very un-
likely that you will have another
chance to see it locally, for The Mig
ger is booked solid for months to
come. Not in years has there been a
screen or spoken drama that has been
under so much discussion and criti-
Cism as this one. We want everyone
to see il, for 1T is a splendid example
Of the highest attainment of the mo-
zion picture art.
First show will start at ! a. m. and
continue at intervals Of one hour and
a half throughout the day and evening.
Come early.
