Big PROBLEM OF LIFE

New Picture
"BEYOND"

Will the veil that divides the here
. from tho hereafter ever be lifted ?
Will it become sufficiently transpar-

departed while wo remain in the
flesh?
These questions are agitating the
civilized world-have done so for

Lodge, Sir A. Conan Doyle and others

The credulity of thousands has been
imposed upon by imposters, but is
there not somewhere in the mass OF
irrelevancies, of falsehood, trickery
and sham some grain of truth that
will bring comfort to the sorroNing
and rob the tomb of its terrors?
Around his vital theme, has been
constructed a great drama by Henry
Arthur Jones. 1t is called Beyond

seen at the Cambridge Theatre to-
night and Thursday with rich must
cal accompaniment.
