GRAND ENTERTAINMENT FOR
ST, PATR|CE'S DAY MAR, I

Latests, and without doubt, great
est, of all the splendid Roman pro-
auctions, is George Kleine's Julius
Caesar" After the making of "Quo
Vadis," "Antony & Cleopatra" "The
Last Days of Pompeii" and "Sparta-
GUS" it is fitting that the wonderful
life of Caesar should be added to the
list. Without it the Roman Cycle
would be incomplete and the world
would be deprived of a motion pic
ture spectacle that is certainly with.
out rival in the annals of the bust
ness
The story follows closely the recog-
nized versions of Caesars life and
presents an absorbing and realistic
picture of the tremendous events
which shaped the worlds history
twenty centuries ago. The historic
quarrel with Pompey; his campaign in
Gaul and his cruel murder at the
hands of Brutus, are incidents sensa-
tional enough in themselves to make
Julius Caesar" the most remarkable
of pictures. Starting with the mar
riage of the youthful Caesar to Cor
nelia, daughter of Lucius CHINA; his
Punishment from Rome as a punish
ment by the Dictator, Sulla; his re-
turn and gradual rise to fame and
power, the story follows on to the
epoch-making events of his life as
Rome's governing genius.
Julius Caesar" is undoubtedly the
most expensive film ever made.

FINE LIGHT SYSTEM
AND WHAT It COSTS

Of course we have all noticed the
marked improvement in the lighting
system of our city the past few
weeks. The installing of the new
lights has caused much favorable
comment, especially from those who
have lived in the dark portions of
the city. Many have wondered how
this great improvement would affect
the taxes. We will give a few fig
ures which will make this point clear
and will show just what the lights
have cost the city in the past and
approximately what the cost will be
for the ensuing year.
Mayor White and the lighting COM
mittee have always in the past tried
to give the city the very best light
ing system and at the same time re-
main within the appropriation. Many
things have brought about marked
changes which have greatly improved
the system. AS fast as these oppor-
tunities have presented themselves
the committee has not been at all
backward in grasping the same, and
making the very best use of them.
They now have the city with the
very best lighting system it has ever
enjoyed and still remaining within
the appropriation. .
