''CAD|RIA' COMES TO
MAJESTIC TWO DAYS

"Cabiria," the great motion picture
film which is to be offered at the Ma
jestic on Wednesday and Thursday. is
one of the most beautiful specimens of
motion picture photography ever pro-
duced. Regarded merely as work of
art it is alone worthy of inspection, ir-
respective of its dramatic and spectac-
ular properties. Parts of the film are
made stereoscpoic, that is to say, they
have all the appearance of solidity and
relief. of the original subject. They
look real, so real that they have depth
and soldity to degree heretofore not
shown in motion picture. This WON
derfu effect is obtained by patent
device of the Italian Film company,
which produced the picture.
Stereoscopic pictures have long been
sought and "Cabiria" is the first to
offer the effect. The picture looks like
life itself both in respect to solidity
and depth of field In parts the picture
is superbly finished with tnting and
toning that has and never will be sur
passed, and there are wonderfully real
istic representations of an eruption,
burning ships on the water. Alpine
views, etc. All these are shown in
what one may term approximately, nat
ural colors. The entire picture is tint
ed and toned throughout, not a foot of
plain film being included in the two
hours and three quarters exhibition.
"Cabiria," in fact. may be regarded
as a natural stereoscopic work of art,
which all students of the motion pic
ture should see.. The story tells how
a little girl, Cabiria, is rescued from
sacrifices to the god Moloch by a chiv
alrous Roman patrician. They are
parted. She becomes a slave to a
Carthaginian princess. The patrician
goes to fight in the battles of the Ro-
man republic. Nevertheless he is true
to the sentiment which the beautiful
little Sicilian girl had inspired in him.
In after years he rescues her from
Carthaginian prosecutors. He saves
her from destruction at the hands Of
the furious high priest and finally
when the storm and carnage of the
great epoch is cleared away he takes
the beautiful girl to his home in Rome
as his bride.

MOROSCO COMPLETES

Announcement is made by the New
, York offices of the Oliver Morosco
Photoplay company that Anna Held's
initial subject Madame La Presi-

toward the production of a photoplay

pearance on the screen, the producers
| chartered a private car to convey her
to the Pacific coast studios from New
| York and in addition, leased an at
tractive villa in fashionable Pasadena
which was used by the star during her
| stay In California.
In its endeavors to give the inimit-
able Held a suitable vehicle in which
to make her first screen appearance
the Oliver Morosco Photoplay company
searched the market thoroughly for a
| subject with the idea in mind of OBJ
tanning desirable play regardless of
expense. AS result, through Sanger
| and Jordan, the exact story for Miss
| Held was purchased at a price which
ranks foremost among the large ex-
penditures made for the film rights to
various stage successes during the
| past year. This then, represents an
unusual expense already invoived be-
| fore the actual work of production had
! even been commenced. Staged with a

UNIVERSAL is going to change
the name of its most import
iii ant brand of feature. the
MI Broadway Universal. It is
quite an undertaking to Gre
ate II new brand, but i'm this instance
II will not be a new brand, only new
name of a brand which has already
become firmly established.
With the release of Violet Mer-
sereau in The Path to Happiness"
five-reel drama of the AdirondaclSs,
the brand name will be changed to Red
Feather Productions, and all of the
succeeding features formerly known as
Broadway Universal will be released
under that name. The reason given
for the change is that other film com
panies are using the name Broadway,
but the productions are not up to the
standard set by the Universal.
THE Path to Happiness" will be
followed by Harry ID. Carey in "a
Knight of the Range" and Herbert
Kelley and Effie Shannon in "The
Sphinx"

him, called his attention to the
approaching train, but he mis-
