commences at that period Of the ty-

tired of his favorite, the beautiful
Acte, and is ready to surrender to
the charms of the more fascinating
Poppaea, wife Of Roman general,
making her his empress. Immedi-
ately she becomes his partner in
his extravagant and nefarious mode
OF life and tries to out-vie him in
heartlessness and in the invention
of new schemes of wickedness.
Horatius, foremost of Nero's gen
erals, is sent after a Christian prin-
cess named Marcia. When the
princess arrives in Rome, she is
hidden away by Nero's orders. Ho-
ratius is openly disappointed be-
cause he cannot find her. Poppaea
suggests that Horatius be sent to
Spain to subjugate that country

you ask, has the audacity to call him
self by that familiar name?
There is certain John Smith
coming to the Murray theatre Sunday
that you viii want TO know. He is a
tall, well proportioned man with light
brown hair and fair complexion
His eyes are blueish-gray and his
chin is strong and well-formed He
weighs about 1874 pounds, rides
swims, boxes and does everything that
a man should. His name is really
Eugene O'Brien, Selzick star, but
while he is here, you are going to
know him as John Smith"
Here is the intriguing part of it
all-why does he call himself John
Smith? What has he done, who has
he done, or who has done him?
You will want to know all these
