there is to be shown at the Opera House
for the first time in this city the newest
and by far the greatest photodrama deal
ing with that much discussed subject,
birth control. In THE Unborn" the pro-
ducers of this feature come out boldly in
the announcement of the theme of their
subject, brutally frank because Of the
honesty of their purpose. which in the
light of the treatment given through the
medium by which it is presented, will
more assurehy reach commandment by
the witnessor of its indictments.
With a fertility Of resource that the

to the spectator drama that in its plot
and in its revelations makes of 1t one
Of the most powerful human documents
that has ever been composed. The title
of the photoplay is The Unborn" and as
may be inferred from the meaning of the
word, it deals with the denied presence
ii the millions of human little visitors
that, were it not for the pernicious prac-
tees of diabolical workers in Illicit craft
would see the worlds light.
The beginning of the story is as simple
as the falling in love of beautiful and
trusting young girl of a countryside home
with an ardent wOoer thoughtless of the
consequences of his heated youthful
blood. Here the deplorable ignorance OF
the ordinary girl of tender nurture I'M
| skilled in the intricasies of life and its
meaning is made manifest. impressing
the mind how fatal is this ignorance and
how general is its presence.
Fleeing her country home she comes to
the city and from thence the story
mounts step by step in the discovery Of
crimnalism in which modern society in
dulges and is vctimized by. Tentacles o.
which are paralieled hundreds of time.
Gaery day and when discovered fill the

. discretions of the worlds men and women
Despite the apparent sordidness of its
story there is a powerful moral that is
forced home with dynamic force, and it
is a most vital moral, a telling lessor
that must be learned. 1t is this that
