Al the Majestic

The admirers of William s. Hart
who have seen him in Blue Blazes
Rawden." The Tiger Man" Self
ish Yates" and other strong, virile
photoplays. will find it rather diff
cult to imagine him as a sea rover,
but in his latest Aircraft picture.
produced under the supervision of
Thomas H. Ince, he is seen as
shark Monroe, master of a seal
ing schooner. Hard tales have been
told of the cruelty and daring OF
the Shark" but when a beautiful
young woman comes into his life.
his nature is changed and he finds
courage and Will to fight hard to
win her affection. Mr. Hart, is
splendidly supported by capable
players. chief among them being
Katherine Macdonald, who does
some unforgettable bits of acting as
Marjorie Hilton, Joe Singleton, as
Big" Baxter, a disreputable hotel
keeper and George Mcdaniel as
Webster Hilton, a dissipated man
who regains himself in the SHOWS
of Alaska. The picture will be
displayed at the Majestic today,
Thursday and Friday with every
accessory necessary to make this
one of the best productions dis
played at this theatre this season.

According to the announcement
of the Aircraft Film Corporation,
The Blue Bird" the big Maeter-
linck spectacle which will be shown
at the Spencer Square theatre to-
morrow, Friday and Saturday, has
established new records in film
production, presenting the largest
settings ever staged inside a studio.

Night, the Palace of Luxuries, the
Cave of Miseries, the Azure Palace,
MemOryland and the Cathedral of
Happiness. In each of these set
tings scenes are shown which would
ordinarily constitute an elaborate

In phOtographing the picture $780,
600 feet feet of negative was used.
A great deal of this was in multi

at the Boudoir theatre, London. and
later presented at the New theatre,

four hours. The enormous cost of
its maintenance has prevented its
being sent on tour either in Eu-
rope or America, though the fame
OF MaeterIinck' masterpiece has
been widely heTalded.
The story is : philosophical dis
sertation upon life, endOwing all
things with life and speech, and
giving a glimpse into the hereafter.
The dead awaken. with messages
for the living, and the unborn are
shown impatiently awaiting their
advent upon the earth.
