WHY tho Genius Ia Born.

1t is strange and perhaps sad fac,
that most men and women endowed
with the finest sense and apprehension
for good literature have no gift or tai.

and it is as strangely and equally true
that many Of those who love music
most cannot play any instrument or
sing even the simplest song. The
world is crowded with people who
have the ncutest eye for form, color
motion and linear grace who cannot
either draw or paint

ACROSS THE PAC|FIC'

Chas. F. Blaney's feature photo play, Across the Pacific was given as the Tuesday night special at the Sultana Theatre this week. The play proved quite thrilling from beginning to- end. The acting was excellent. Willie Live, the comedian, capti- vated the audience turnout, and heroine, hero and william all filled their roles admirably. The stage work was good. The aud fence was quite successfully car ried in turn to Montana, San Francisco and the Phillipines. The fact that all of this was be- ing played on the movie stage somewhere in America, probably in Arizona or Southern Califor- mia, was in no way apparent to the audience.
 The audience, generally, seem ed quite well taken with this feature. The World Film Co. which produces these plays, IS offering very good variety of material in this feature series. There certainly was a very de-
 cided contrast between this
 weeks production and that of
 the week before. What will the next be like. We'll all be there to see.
