"SIGN OF THE CROSS"

"The Sign of the Cross," a five-reel Paramount feature, will be shown Monday night at the Grand.
 "The Sign of the Cross" derived from the symbol to which scores of millions has for many centuries borne so profound a significance, has been filmed by the Famous Players with an extravaganza of scenic and spectacu- lar effects and a faithfulness to the original settings and atmosphere sell dom seen in motion pictures.
 William Farnum in the dignified and impressive role of Marcus Su- perbus, acquits himself with distinc- tion throughout the entire perform ance. It is presumable that no other American actor is so adapted, in phys ical appearance and dramatic power, to this strong and heroic character. In the carefully selected supporting cast are Rosina Henley, who makes the role of Mercia, the Christian maiden who converts Marcus and purifies his savage instincts, an in spired role. Ethel Gray Terry makes the character of Berenice marvellous characterization, and Morgan Thorpe in the role of Favius, Sheridan Block as the cruel Nero, Lila Barclay as Poppaea, Giorgini Majeroni as Tigel- linus, Ogden Child, as Stephanus, Ethel Phillips as Dacia, Charles E. Werner as Glabrio, and Rienzi de Cor dova as Philodemus, as we'll as the hundreds of supers, display entirely commendable talent and total con formity with the subject and it's in- herent appeal.

 There is also criticism of the eX- pendture of funds for the examina- tions for statewide licenses by per sons not connected with the depart ment, $350 to Miss Hazel Gill and $194 to w. A. Gibson, before the pay ment into the treasury of the $582 received from the same by the appli- cants. The committee also says it is advised by good authority that the superintendent has a pass at least over the Iron Mountain,' and yet they find a record of number of vouchers for travelling expenses for that de- partment. Tt is quite apparent from our Investigation says the report, "that public funds have been unnec essarily spent in utter disregard of the state laws governing such expen- ditures"
 The accountants had checked only about half of the state auditors of flee, but the committee reports fila grant errors and omissions in said de- partment characterized with utter and startling disregard for the law in regard to the issuance of vouch- CTS"
