The set of the Thirty Club, one of
the largest ever erected in the East

are produced, left little to the mag

set which takes it's recreation In
Bab1ylonian orgies.

That was the peak of lavish pro-
duction, so far as that particular
film was concerned. The Thirty
Club set came down; its marble
and tapestries were restored to the
property rooms and its massive coll
umns and staircase torn apart.
Next day, where the Thirty Club

Ditmas Theatre Card

Exerting a powerful appeal that is
bound to touch the hearts of it's au-
diences, Forbidden Fruit" was
shown to excellent advantage at the
Ditmas theatre last night. The
photoplay is the latest creation OF
that master producer. Cecil B. De-
Mile, and the story rises to great
dramatic heights in the dipiction of
h sufferings of a young wife who.
married to a shiftless scoundrel ul-
timately finds happiness in the love
OF q real man. The story Is by jeanne
Macpherson who is responsible for
many of the scenarios of past De-
Mile successes.
The various roles are interpreted
by such highly competent players as
Agnes Ayers. who will be remember
ed for her delightful portrayal in
Held by the Enemy" Forrest STAN
ley n Clarence Burton who make
their debut in a DeMille picture in
this photoplay; Theodore Kosloff.
Theodore Roberts, whose work in
