BEAUTIFUL UNDINE
 ON SCREEN SUNDAY

The beautiful Bluebird Photoplay feat ure. 'Undine," one of the most popular pictures produced by that popular com- pany, will be the attraction at the Colis- cum tomorrow night. And incidentally, it will be the first Bluebird feature shown here.
 Fairies. goblins and elfs, mermaids. nymphs and sylphs, have been drawn upon for characters in Undine, the pie turization of the French classic of the same title. The shores and forests of the beautiful Catalina islands. off the coast of California, provided the scenes for the production, and the photographer, by art and trickery. has reproduced vivid representation of real fairyland, in which Miss lila Schnall and score of ether perfectly formed and physically beautiful girls are seen, in trappings of seaweed and other costumes fitted to rep resent the fashions of fairyland.
 Miss Schnall was chosen to enact the role of Undine because of her renown as an athlete and swimmer. and because, in addition, she possesses rare qualifications as ain actress and beauty of personal charm.
 There are many sensations to furnish thrills in the portrayal of the story of Undine-in one remarkable vista Miss Schnall dives headlong into the sea from the top of cliff 130 feet high, generally accepted as the highest dive ever made before moving picture camera.
 The feature is in five reels, and not withstanding the fact that the picture IS the most costly ever presented by the Coliseum management the usual feature prices will prevail-50 cents for general admission, and a quarter extra for re- served seats.
