FOX'S.

Those interested in pictorial tbeau- ty and dramatic effect will find much that is exceedingly worth while in William FON'S special production, "EVangeline,' from the imm ortal poem by Longfellow which was shown at Fox's theater yesterday. First the exquisite beauty of this picture must be noted. The land of Acadie and the little village of Grand Pre- are wonderfully visualized as is the wonderings of the Acadians after their exile. Much credit is due Mir jam Cooper for her interpretation of the title role. Her beautiful face re- fleets every thought of the unfor- tunate heroine from the happy days in Acade through the agony of the exile to the final reunion in old age with her lover Gabriel. In placing th1S picture before the public MT. Fox has placed the public in his debt as no such photoplay has ever been at tempted in the history of the screen; no filnc depicting the truly artistic and educational features, no screen pro- duction in this particular field of mo- tion pictures has ever received more indorsemen from the thinking class of people than this-our own stand ard classic, "ENanSellne. ne ndch- neyed plot is missing; a new vista is opened and the greatest American poet leads with canny charm our minds to pleasing heights of tempered and refined imaginngs. The re- mainder of the film attractions are in keeping with. the feature, including a, rip-roaring Sunshine comedy and News The sixth chapter of the vol canic serial, "The Great Gamble is also shown with new and thrilling stunts. The vaudeville program, head ed by Fun at the Panch,' and the Lewis & Lenoa combination is well worth apDreCiatiOn.
