THE THEATRE
The IdlehOur


Eight hundred Chinese extras"
imported from all parts of California
and CARRIED at the Nazmova studios
where also they were fed with lib
eral portions Of chop suey, noodles
and liberty steak, with plenty of tea
filled the street and participated in
the spectacular scenes enacted for
"The Red Lantern which comes TO
the ldlehour theatre on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, next.
More than one hundred thousand
Chinese lanterns were hung from the
Chinese shops, dwellings and temples
lining both sides Of the colorful Pekin
thoroughfare, in Nazimova's THE
Red Lantern" during the screening
of the big street scene. Atop the
giant arch overlooking the Great
Wall surrounding the ancient capital
was placed mighty searchlight, the
beams Of which were played upon the
figure of Nazimova as attired in the
regal robes of the Goddess of the
Red Lantern, the star was borne
down the street on an immense palan-
quin, carried by two dozen Chinese
coolies through a surging throng of
900 Celestials.
The rays Of this giant searchlight
and the light of the thousand lam
terms were caught by the blinking
eye of the camera, but beyond the
"sidelines "-that is, out of range of
the camera lens-was an array of
lights for Illuminating the entire
spectacle that made the night time
brighter than a California MONDAY.
Genesta Theatre
The Genesta theatre will give its
patrons an extraordinary treat next
week Thursday evening, September
II, when the Nitagraph feature, "The
Lion and the Mouse" is screened at
that play house. There are few peo-
pie today, but who are familiar
with the great stage success of this
name or the book from which it was
taken.
The screen production follows the
story as closely as possible. and is
highly interesting from start 20 fin
ish.
1t is the story of John Burkett's
attempt to crush Judge Rossmore.
and the fight by Shirley Rossmore to
stay the hand Of the worlds richest
man. that was threatening to bring
disgrace and sorrow to her father.
IL is powerful story that actually
gains in strength in the screen pro-
duction.
The Genesta will give matinee
and evening show on Thursday so
that everyone will have the oppor-
tunity to see this great photoplay.

brought about. The United Mine
Workers have full confidence in the
president OF the United States and a
profound regard for his VIII and
Judgment.
The presidents proposal differs
from any proposal heretofore pro-
posed in that it leaves nothing in
doubt, so far as a plan Of adjust
ment and the details thereof is con-
cerned. The scheme proposed by
DR. Garfield left no hope for the
mine workers other than the ac-
ccptance OF an increase in mining
