Island Pond, July rs to 20
"CiviliZatiOn."

Friday, July Goth promises to be a
memorable date in local theatrical history
for on that day at the opera house, Island
Pond, will be presented the greatest at
traction theatrically that has been pro-
claimed the supreme achievement Of film
productions, Thomas Ince s Civilization"
and superb orchestra. That this lauda
tory term is not mere idle handling of
words is proven by the experience of the
production in New York and Chicago
where for the past three months ithas APP
peared to continuously crowded houses
and awakened an enthusiasm not alone
for the beauty of the spectacle and the
thrills and wonderment caused by the
beholding of its pictured scenes, but also
because of the tremendous power of its
engrOssing drama through which runs
theme Of absorbing loftiness.
In the news columns and the notes of
the theatre has the fame of Civilization
been spread broadcast. Its producer
staggered all flmdom as well as the world
financially by the proof that he spent
$1,000,000 in the making of the picture.
This seemed foolhardy expenditure or
the most daring of acts, but the genius of
the producer was invested equally well
with foresight and knowledge Of future
conditions in the motion picture field as it
was with craftsmanship. He spent over
year in the making of it in one of the
largest studios in tie country. He en-
ployed over 10000 people and 10000
horses in it's scenes. But, above all, the
finished production attained a.. rank in
magnifcence that will reign supreme for
ages to cone. There will be only one
performance, SIS pm. Seats will be
placed on sale at Thurstons. There is a
special musical score for this production
which will be played by superb orches-

BOYS! HERE IS some MONEY
FOR YOU! !
Join the Bradley Boys Sheep
Club and Find Out All About
1t.

What is the greatest need of the world
today? More food and clothing!
The Bradley Knitting Co. of Delavan,
Wis, have evolved a unique and practical
scheme that will help greatly in solving
this big question All over this broad
land of ours we have clubs and various
organizations to promote interest in and
advance the welfare of hogs, poultry aud
the various farm crops, etc, and the
Bradley Knitting Co. now proposes to
form Boys Clubs in every State of the
Union for the purpose of raising more
sheep. To be eligible for membership in
one of these clubs, boys must be between
the ages of thirteen and seventeen and
live on a farm where no sheep are kept at
the present time. Bred ewes will be dis
tributed to those boys best answering
certain questions pertaining to sheep and
sheep raising.
The Bradley Knitting Co. will mail
every boy 16-page booklet edited by
Mr., Anthony Gould of the American
Sheep Breeder. This booklet alone will
be very valuable, written as it is by an
authority and covering every detail of
this important industry.
Write for this booklet today.
If we are to have the proper kind of
warm and durable clothing for our SOL
diers in the trenches, we must have more
wool 1t should be the patriotic duty of
every boy eligible for membership in
these clubs to join today, and do his bit
in helping to bring to a successful con-
clusion, the prosecution of this great war.
In addition to acquiring an education
in sheep raising, every boy who enters
one of these clubs, will secure substantial
pecuniary remuneration.
We will take your application for men,

Genesta Theatre

Stupendous in conception, glitter
ing in its pageantry and symbolic IN
form is Thomas II. lnce's cinema pro-
duction, Civilization" as revealed
foI the first time in Detroit at the
Washington theatre Sunday. where it
opened for an indefinite period Two
large audiences saw this masterpiece
Of Ince's and We're fairly enthralled
by the massiveness and at times the
grandeur of the production. Only
one other motion picture produced
since the cinema came into its own is
entitled to take rank with lnce's crea-
ton and that is Griffith's, "The Birth
OF a Nation"
Not even Grifiith's famous picture
contained the thrilling scenes to be
found in Civilization" the scenario
for which was written by c. Gardner
Sullivan. Ince, the master producer
in the motion picture field, has appar-
emily spared neither expense nor en-
ergy in the production of this picture,
for lavishness is the keynote through
out. Indeed, since the production Of
civilization" Ince has frequently
been referred to as the David Belas-
co of the screen"
And the artistic hand Of Belasco
is to be seen in the close attention
paid to detail. Here Ince brings be-
fore your eyes. battle scenes of ire
mendous power. You see the work
ings of the submarine and then you
see the U-boat go down TO inglorious
defeat, while the very next minute
you are given further thrill by see
ing a battleship blown to atoms by
mines.
Besides its many spectacular feat
ures, Civilization presents an alb
sorbng dramatic narrative that at
times reaches almost sublime heights,
especially the scenes showing the
Christ leading the king Of war about
the bloody battlehelds OF the uni
verse" Here the producer has shown
the subtlety Of well-baanced mind,
tempered with intellectually, inn
mediately lifting his spectacle above
the commonplace in cinema endeavor
Civilization is, above all, how
ever. a great motion picture Of war
and its consequences. Even those who
seldom visit the movies cannot afford
tc miss this moving spectace.-Free

THE THEATRE


All who saw the opening chapter Of
"The Fatal Ring" at the Idlehour
Friday were enthusiastic over this
new serial, which promises to be the
best ever shown in Alma MS il has
already proven TO be the best in the
cities. Those who were unfortunate
enough not to see the opening chap
tel will be able to pick up the story
this Friday when the second chapter
will be shown The management has
arranged to run matinees every Fri
day so as to relieve the congestion at
night.
II you want to laugh at the merri-
est, snappiest bit of comedy that has
enlivened the screen for many a day,
see Douglas Fairbanks in "Wild and
Woolly," the feature at the Idlehour
Sunday and Monday. In construction
the play is far superior to the usual
run of photoplays while the fun is as
fresh and inspiring as the breezes
from off the western plains. 1t is
good legitimate comedy unmarried by
the common absurdities with which
laughs are usually injected into the
films.
Fairbanks has as much rapid action
as a machine gun and wherever he
appears things start TO happen. In
preparing this play for Fairbanks
Anita Loos chose a subject which was
rich in comedy situations and then
developed the possibilities to the
finest detail.
The picture is filled with clever
scenes and funny situations while
Fairbanks stunts, such as jumping
from horse onto fast moving eX-
press train. the ludicrous roundup
of the Indians and other flashes of
comedy. keep the audience in almost
constant laughter. Eileen Percy,
Fairbanks new leading woman, makes
an excellent impression and the cast
is admirable throughout.
