1.-THE NINETY AND NINE"
At CRYSTAL ON MONDAY

Both stars, william COurtenay and
Lucille Lee Stewart, work very hard
in the Vitagraph five-part Blue Rib
bon feature directed by Ralph W.

which is a screen adaptation from the
well-knOwn stage success by Ramsey
Morris.
In this production which is the at
traction at the Crystal theatre on
Monday. both Mr.. Courtenay and Miss
Stewart drive locomotive through
burning forest. These scenes could
not be omitted without the great
punch of the story being lost, but
neither star objected and prepare

For the half hour in which it took
to photograph these scenes. dainty
Lucille became a fireman and worked
away shoveling the coal into the en-
CINE while Mr.. COurtenay acted as en-
gineer. In some instances when they
are in the thick of the forest fire
smoke they are hardly discernible, but
when their engine comes to clearing
their faces may be seen streaked with
SCOT and smoke.
| 1t was no easy task to run this huge
locomotive over burning bridges,
through rows of fiery trees and into
dense smoke, but both stars took it as
a matter of course and went through
their scenes without murmur.
/ In order to play this role, Mr.
/ COurtenay was forced to spend an Ell
tire day riding about in an engine
with a motorman, but he was willing
to sacrifice any length Of time in or

and the lesson took place.
