Anna Pavlowa and her famous Rus
sian ballet in photoplay will be the
extraordinary attraction at the Casino
Theater all this week, beginning at II
o'clock tomorrow morning. Instead of
merely presenting her famous classical
dances. Pavlowa will be seen in the
role of Fenella in a massive photo
spectacle, entitled THE Dumb Girl Of
Portici," which is based upon the fa-
nous old Auber opera, "Masaniello. :"
Pavlowa is said long to have wished
to appear in this role and it was only
because of the qualification of this
wish that she was induced to appear in
a screen production at ALL for it gives
her splendid opportunities to reveal
her abilities as an actress, a pantomi-
mist and dancer in rone production.

composed The action of frost and en-
croaching vegetation has further mod
