week at the Belasco the photo-drama
''2O, 1000 Leagues Under The Ses,"
cause his romances were deemed the
drama. Fifty years ago Jules Verne,
the author OF the romance from
which this screen play has been made,
told of the sinking OF ships in ex-
actly the same manner as that which
downed the Lusitania
Verne was laughed at. and is said
to have died a disappointed man, be-
cause his romances were deemed the
limit OF distorted fancy.
How accurately he described to the
smallest detail the fittings of his
Nautilus, the first submersible in
either fiction or fact, and how naval
architects have subsequently follow
ed them in the working out of the
details which made the voyage OF the
Deutschland possible, is now well
known 1t is this INSTALLATION that
has stirred playgoers as no picture
ever has, and the story told is new
again by reason OF the uncannily
prophetic vision of the French
writer, whose dreams have been
made to come true.
MAtinees are given daily at the
Belasco during this engagement,
which will extend to cover Sunday,
May 20.
The exhibitions OF Sunday after
