GERALDINE FARRAR AT THE
COLISEUM.
Pathos of Joan the Woman.

In these days, when the power Of Wom~
en- to influence and sway the affairs OF the
world along channels that tend TO the up
lift of humanity, no greater portrayal OF
their influence could possibly be imagined
than the wonderful production of Joan
the Woman" which is to be presented at
the Coliseum Wednesday and Thursday
May so and 81.
Joan the Woman stands super-emi-
nent in power of story, in the lesson
that it teaches for good, in patriotic feel
ing and in everything that pertains to
the making OF great educational spec
tacie.
So gigantic is it's scope that it is all
that human mind can do to grasp it in
it's entirety Geraldine Farrar brings
Joan CT Arc back to life. She lives as one
of us, and one can almost hear her speak.
so vivid are the scenes in which she APP
pears.
loan the Woman does not want for
thrills Never have such battle scenes
been seen on the screen before, and II IS
doubtful if they will ever be surpassed.
Never has an audience been 50 swayed
by any photodrama, and the spasmodlc
bursts of applause came like volleys from
a nest OF machine guns.
There were few heartstrings that were
not tautened in the moments of pathos
in this production, and many tear-Alled
eyes when the last moments of france
wonderful heroine were shown.
This photodrama is like a living page
from history, but, though based on the
doings of ancient times, it spells many
a lesson to be needed by we moderns. II
teaches that nothing can be gained with
out self-sacrifice. 1t teaches also that
the humblest among us can become useful
and rise to greatness if we only will It
But, best and greatest of all, it teaches re
spect for the power and hearts of woman
kind who can rise to the highest pinnacle
Of success without the aid of men. Spec
ial prices Is and 25c. No seats reserved
Come early. Two shows, 2.3o-s O'clock
