alyINGs 0F TINE MonNING. .

The numerous admirers Of William
Farnum were thrilled by his portrayal
of heroic character in his newest VIII
liam Fox photodrama, wings Of the
Morning" which is the feature attrac-
tlon at the Victoria this week. The
story is.a perturbation OF the novel of
the same name by Louis Tracy.
It is some time since Mr.. Farnum
was seen last in a sea story, but in
wings of the Morning" he has one of
extraordinary quality and production.
Appearing first as an English army Of
flcer, and later as a sailor, the star was
sent to the greatest advantage in role
that for real dramatic value has seldom
been exeelled. The story is logical from
beginning to ending and is faultlessly
staged. 1t is one Of the best stories in
which Farnum ever was presented on
the screen.
