"ROMEO AND JULIET" CHIEF
CITY THEATRE OFFERING.

Romeo and Juliet" with Theda
Bara and Harry Hilliard in the roles
of the great lovers of all time, will be
the principal card of attractiveness to-
day at the City Theatre. Memories of
this, the greatest love story ever writ
ten, probably ever to be formed from
the mind of man, have come down to
us from earlier generations in all their
pristine elegance and have lost none
of the delightful sentiments in retro
spect. Associating historic and ro-
mantle importance, this method OF
bringing the Bard of Avon, William
Shakespeare, in intimate touch with
the present generation is vitality inter-
esting. Greatest of all playrights the
spasmodic efforts that have been made
to link his ideas to those of the pres
ent generation have failed via the
stage route. The greatest of all in
ventions, the motion picture, not only
brings this master to the minds and
thoughts of the people Of the present
day, but too, it imprints the intelli-
gent thoughts Of those who have stud
led the leader, found his groove of
thought and are thus able to repro
dure illustrated ideas of his far reach
ing thoughts even as beautiful as his
brilliant mind could have imagined
them. The youth, the -blooded
romanticism of such a virile pair of
modern day players as Theda Bara
and Harry Hilliard are required to
convey the thought that inspired the
story of Romeo and Juliet" Youth
and beauty are essentials and thus 1t
Is that no more attractive pair of play
ers could have been selected for the
roles and their preparation by diligent
study of Shakespeare and his works
will enable picture lovers to see and
understand the Bard's immortal tale
IN a way that has hitherto been de-
lied them.

ROYAL THEATRE OFFERS
'ROMEO AND JULIET

Theda Bara as Juliet of the i'm
mortal classic, Romeo and Juliet"
makes up the piece de resistance of
the program offered today at the
Royal theatre. From school child to
oldest citizen the never ending love
story of Romeo and Juliet is known
by heart, so it is the girl, the woman
essaying the role of the heart-racked
Juliet, that looms largest in the
mind, for it is the ambition of every
stage celebrity to play Juliet, or
Romeo, at some time in her or his
career. Theda Bara is as well known
to the average picture lover as is
Juliet. Physical grace is perhaps the
cause of it. Nothing tells more di-
rectly in the success of an actress,
particularly on the screen. Facial
beauty may stand first in your mind,
and in others too, but it cannot bring
enduring fame to any player and this
has been proved many times. 1t Is
physical grace. Some are blessed
with it. You know many men, or
women, whose natural grace you ad-
mire, perhaps envy. They may have
succeeded to it by reason of an 'ath-
letic father or a studiously systema-
tic mother. Most people have to
strive for it by rigorous athletic
training, a steady grind of exercise
during the early adult years to bring
about the perfection admired In
others. Pertinent to this story is the
recognized fact that Theda Bara is
one of those not to have required
any training in gracefulness or ply
sical appeal. Not one woman in
screenland is more gifted even the
stately Petrova being obliged to yield
the palm to Theda Bara, whose
rhythm of movement is as accurately
appealing as to indicate that the
music that keeps the whole world is
rhythmic unison fills her body.
