Sill, John the Baptizer is only a
voice crying in the wilderness" but a
voice that reached thousands, and
turned them from sin and the wrath
to come. The great gift of Christmas
was only weak little Baby, but des-
vined to save the world "Out of the
mouth of babes and sucklings hast
thou ordained strength" "At that
time Jesus answered and said, I thank
'thee, o Father, Lord of Heaven and

things from the wise and prudent, and
has revealed them unto babes" Many

The Circular Staircase.

"The Circular Staircase" Selig Red
Seal play in five reels will be the at
traction at the opera house on Thurs
day, December Is. This film is au
adaptation of Mary Roberts Rinenart's
novel of the same name and is filed
with mysterious happenings and
thrilling incidents. Eugene Besserer,
the celebrated French actress of the
selig company, assumes the leading
role and is supported by such sterling
players as Guy Oliver, Edith Johnson
and Stella Razeto. The film has been
arranged so that he intended in GHR
denouement is sustained up to the very
end. There are numerous hints to the
solution of the plot, which in the novel
was very complicated but which is very
clear and simple in the film, but all
prove to be more Or less misleading
before the climax is reached A shot
in the night, which claimed man as
it's victim, visit to lonely graveyard
to try to solve the mystery, woman's
battle with a desperate villain in a
secret room and the fail of the gully
Ian down the circular staircase are
some of the exciting happenings which
are to be found in the five thousand
feet of action.
