COMING NEXT WEEK.

.Bea1tiful Elsie Ferguson in the six part Aratcraft picture. The Song of Songs will be the attraction at the Davis theatre on Monday. It is adapted from Edward Sheldon's play, which proved a sensation at the FL tingL theatre, New York, several years ago.
 As a vehicle to exploit the great dramatic ability of Miss Ferguson, '-The Song Of Sorgs' should prove her most effective motion picture play since her advent to the screen, provid- ing melodramatic situations of great intensity. As Lily Kardos she plays the part of girl who is left penni- less ard alone, and is gifted with un- usual beauty. Her struggle for a livelihood amid the temptations strewn in her path develops a very human role and reveals the injustice of man, who, in the pursuit of his own sell fish pleasures has no regard for in- noncence or purity, but who demands it in sanctified form in the woman who IS to share the more or less uncertain honor of his name
 Thr other feature is Man Above the Law" a five rart Triangle. picture. starring Jack Richardson. and the comedy is His Day of Doom," made for Imaginable purposes only.

'Ies SIiserables." the William Fox super film production. in which Will jam Farnum is seen in the central role, was presented twice yesterday at the Auditorium to audiences that tax cd the capacity of the theatre.
 IL is scarcely necessary to say much about the story of Hes Miserables" since 1t is perhaps the most widely read of any work of fiction. Noted as one of the worlds most fascinat- ing and absorbing remances. the book loses nothing in it's transition to screen form. There are scenes that grip and sway the audience with al- most the effect of the spoken drama
 William Farnum in the character Of Jean Valjean. the miserable con- vict, whose redemption is made cer- tain by the old bishops kindness has, without question, added to his laurels, by giving the finest character ization of his long career on stage and screen. The happy combination os MT. Farnum in a vehicle so suited to his abilities-when assisted by the luxury and beauty of the Fox settings presents an opportunity to local theatre goers, 10 enjoy one of the fin est and at the same time, one of the most entertaining screen productions that have been offered here. The photoplay was exceptionally fine.
 Les Miserables" will be shown three times today and the opportuni- ty should not be missed, of seeing the great novel of Victor Hugo in it's pie ture form.
