GEO KLEINE'S GREATEST
WORK AS a PLAYWRIGHT
Great Presentation Monday Night at fIectnc
Theatre of the Lion of Venice"

When George Kleine released his
"Quo Vadis'' many people thought no
finer film drama could or would De
produced. Yet within eight weeks he.
followed with the great spectacular
triumph Antony and Cleopatra. -
Now comes The Lion Of Venice,' a
subject rivaling, if not exceeding, in
splendid effects its illustrous prede-
cessors.
For making of THE Lion of Ven
ice' the city fathers declared half
holiday and cleared the famous Grand
Canal Of all traffic in order that the
players might suffer no interference.
How great concession this was can
be understood when it is known that
never before in its eventful history
has the famous canal been closed.
The Grand Canal is to Venice what
Broadway is to New York and State
street is to Chicago. To clear it Of
its thousands of gay gondolas carrying
the business men of Venice to and
from their work, is big undertaking
and would not have been done for any
ordinary producer of motion pictures
However, Venice has its chamber of
commerce like all our American cities
and was keen to absorb the tremen-
dous advertising value of the picture.
| The story of The Lion of Venice is
quaint and unusual 1t is laid in the
l4th century at the famous war be-
tween Venice and Turkey, when the
/ former city was the reigning naval
power in the Mediterranean. Captain
Benito RienZl, in command of small
fleet of Venetian men-of- war, returns
to Venice and finds that his sweet
heart, Blanca, has been forced by her
father to marry Count Orsini, a
powerful noble This leads to dis
pute between the two men which.
grows into an everlasting enmity-
Fearing the influence of Captain Ri
enzi, the count plots to destroy him
and nearly succeeds in doing so by
placing in Rienzi's room, where it is
later found by the police, a forged
letter from the Grand ViZier of Tur-
key to Rienzi concerning the sale of
the Venetian plan of war. Captain
Rienzi is exiled from his country and
joins a pirate crew, taking his sisters
with him. Sometime later, Count
Orsini at the head of fleet of war
ships is being defeated by the Turkish
squadron. In the emergency, Rienzi
forgets his hatred for both Hrsini and
the land that cast him off, and goes
valiantly to the fight against the
Turks The scenes were all made
around Venice and form splendid
album of pictures of the famous
tourist center
1t will be shown at the Electric
Theatre, Monday Nov. 29.-Adv.
