IMPRESSIVE FILM DRAMA COMES TO THE COLISEUM,

''The Eyes of the World,' great big elaborate production in ten full reels comes to the Coliseum tonight. In other cities this feature has appeared at $1 prices, but we in Juneau will see it at half price. A week ago last Sun day this feature opened for a week at the Metropolitan in Seattle. Charles Eugene Banks. the movie man of the teresting criticism about the feature which is given as follows for the bene- fit of the movie patrons of Juneau:
 "The Eyes of the World" Harold Bell Wright's most popular novel, filmed by the Clune Film Company, be gan Q weeks engagement at the Met ropoitan theatre last evening. This photo drama is among the emphatic things done in theatrical entertain ment. Wright's power to visualize characters and scenes, his poetic sen sibility. his logical argumen, in his stories are his chief claims to prom thence es an author. He is not a lin- guist. or styist. and his books read too much like pure fiction to be thor Noughly impressive. But the qualities that make them sell work easily and effectively into motion pictures. "The Eyes of the World' is as impressive in the screen as Experience, or Every Woman on the stage. The same methods are used in symbolzing characters such as Art. Nature. Ma terialism. The Age. Sensualty, Civil ization and Symbol
 The story is melodramatic in concep- tion. but so full of situations and scenes as to make it actually realistic in the film play. The manner of DOT traying the tale. slow-moving meth cd with numerous scenes and few big climoxes, catches the imagination and holds the auditors attention to the story itself, rather than to the thrills and expectation of thrills. as in most photoplays. The attraction is the same as the reading of a book told with gra. phic power. and in which the story has great natural scenery for it's back ground The tremendous peaks and crags of California mountains have been freely used. The photography i, splendid and the Wright characters pictured to the life.
 There is an appropriated musica composition to make audible and sym. bolic harmony with the unfolding o the engaging romance. Lovers of Harold Bell Wright's writing will find in thi. picture a new and increased pleasure Those who like their photo-plays fla, vored with morality and the humanitie, will get satisfaction, and those who en. joy thrills. such as mans fight or high cliffs with only far skyline a. a background. will get the answer the, desire. No other photoplay seen here arouses the same steady. cumulative in terest in the tale itself. It is a grea step in advance, this process by whicl this story is developed. It is in goot taste, honestly conceived and patient ly worked out. Several of the actor give fine performances. notably Monro' Salisbury as Civilization. and Lurine Ly ons as symbol. a beautiful creation
 .'The Eyes of the World" is proof tha
 great pictures may be made withou
 running wild with crowds, or assembling fearful mac chimes to arouse the emo tions. It is big, fine. romantic and
 withal. wholesome entertainment.

The Capitol esplanade is quiet place
after o'clock at night. Cars whizz up
and down the outer edge, automobiles
flash across it and a few figures come
and go, but the great curve of asphalt
sweeps like a gray sea of silence into
the white silence of the building itself
and one gets an mehow-that
the sky above it is extra full of big,
shining stars.
A woman who likes to believe things
about stars that no astronomer would
ever think of putting in a book, had
the gray silence all to herself the other
night. until:
Suddenly a small figure swooped
from the shadows and SKINNED across
the asphalt as light as a bird on the
wing. A dozen other figures followed
They formed circles, and dipping lines
and zizzags past counting, each figure
as supple as the first and all as silent
as the night

mistake. They were not children and
they were not playing n game.

young women in brief skirts, who were

citation in the country. reports that
trade is increasing and will continue to
increase in proportion to the increased
