The Great Miracle.

'"The Great Miracle" which comes
TO the Orpheum theater next week.
March 25th, promises TO be one OF
the most spectacular features ever
presented in this town. The marvels
of motion photography are expanded
IN the utmost to faithfully portray
the theme underlying this great
drama. 1t is a diversified photoplay
of unusual interest. In masterful
manner it depicts the romance of an
unusual love story which delightfully."-
blends with the treatment of one OF
the foremost topics of the day, that
Of "life beyond the grave" Combined
with these features is the great edu-
cational value of the scenes which
present matters Of historical note.
It's scope covers many ages-yester-
day. today, tomorrow. Years were
snent in preparation and year and
a half was occupied with the actual
filming of the picture. The all-star
cast includes Edward Cecil, Virginia
Chester, Amy Jerome, Georgia French
and Frank Whitson. 1t Is a tremen-
dously vital story of battling mystery.
It is seldom that a motion picture so
exquisite in story and treatment is
presented to the public.
