|FOX MONTE CRIST0' .
 GREAT PRODUCTION
|Super-Special Hailed as a Giant Masterpiece

| Coming to Foxs this Sunday, Mon
 day, Tuesday and Wednesday, the
 wonderful, gigantic, gorgeous, im-
 and novel. Monte Cristo" by Alex
 andre Dumas, which at the present
 time is one of the most talked of mo-
 ton pictures of todsy. In the pro-
 fession 1t is receiving a large measure
 of praise because 1t is one of the big
 eest productions of the year and con- tains wonderful spectacular drama
 value. There have been many screen spectacles which were entertaining from this angle alone but this William Fox production has a combination Of all the clements necessary to make a
 big play successful.
 Those familiar with the remarkable story will recall the stirring moments in the earlier part of the narrative in which the young French sailor is torn from his bride on his wedding day and cast in dungeon, there to re- main for years. They will also recall that in the escape which eventually he effects, there is abundant material for dramatic action. Later the story tells of his experiences as the richest man in the world. It Is then that the drama becomes spectacular as well as dramatic; and the director, Emmett J. Flynn, gives to the screen audience in this picture not only food for tAe imagination, but feast for the eye.
 Mr. Flynn was assisted in preparing the settings for Monte Cristo" by the Circle Francaise of New York and New Orleans. The details are perfect. The producer of the picture has that rare pleasure of presenting to the public a splendid dramatic version of literature.
 A solid wall of masonry rising from the waters of the Pacific ocean to a height of more than a hundred feet, forms but one angle of the motion picture set representing the famous Chateau dIf. the terrible prison in which Edmund Dantes, later Monte Cristo, was imprisoned for twenty years.
 In this scene alone, showing the hardships of Monte in the prison presents the grim side of the story and when Monte, played by John Gill bert, is thrown from the wall into the waters, the breath of the audience will almost stop. Gilbert risks his life in this scene and the underwater pie ture is taken by five cameras, record ing his escape from the bag. You cannot afford to miss this splendid i work of art at the low prices offered to witness the film.
 The announcement that the clever and entertaining Hoyts Revue will come to this theater within a short l time has been received with pleasure I by the people of this city who have

bulge more than ever as he stared at Fatty Coon and the mark he had made in the sand. And then he shook his head.
 Tt can't be done," he declared. Wed never agree where the marks were. The water would cover them up the moment I made them-or they'd float away and lose them selves somewhere down the creek"
 Then drop some stones down upon the bottom of the creek,' Fatty sug- gested,
 There are so many stones there all ready that you couldn't tell which was which, Mir. Frog objected again.
 Drop down some white dishes,' said Fatty Coon. They would show plainly"
 'Ha!" cried Ferdinand Frog. That's an idea. But where can l get the dishes?"

Why the Eyes of smith Swiftly
 Betrayed Him

At Smiths furious threat against me, my father and Lillian made a simultaneous movement toward me while Allen Drake strode menacingly toward Smith
 Another word like that" he said with slow venom, "any your mouth will be stopped with something less pleasant than a cigar"
 The bound man glared at him but obeped him, while l, with what pa tience I could muster, listened to the reassuring words my father and Lil- Han were uttering.
 Remember I am right beside you, daughter. dear" he murmured, as If were again a frightened child in need of his fatherly protection.
 He's absolutely harmless--now, <" Lillian whispered significantly. We have him at last by the short hair"

 threw my head hack with a ges. ture which came perilously near being an angry one. knew that had Smiths threat been made against Lil- Han no one would have had the tenn erity to whisper encouraging words to her She would have hsen too busy attending to the man herself. But AL len Drake had voiced the very threat I meant to utter and it was with a thwarted little feeling that I stepped forward, looked coolly, scrutinizingly at the mans wrath distorted face, and his bound figure, as if my only thought were the Identification Lil- lian had asked of me.
 He is the same man I saw in the restaurant near the reservoir" l said positively, "and his voice is the one I heard near the dying state trooper. I could swear to if in any court"
 Smith uttered no syllable as I fn- ished. but if his look could have been clothed with an action I would have been writhing in torture at his feet.
 Thank you, Madge," Lillian said Have you got it?" She addressed my father and Allen Drake. There goes another coffin nail"
 If l may be permitted to remind you" Smith addressed MT. Drake di- rectly, and his tones were silkily sub nissive, that 1t is useless to pretend to me that the young state trooper is dead. I know to the contrary, I have my own means of communication with that section"
 Refresh Your Memory"
 we are perfectly aware of that little fact" Allen Drake assured him But what do you not know-yet- but which I will now generously in form you, and charge you nothing for the kindness-is that your channel has been discovered.''
 T don't believe it." The words came slowly from Smiths twisted lips.
 What discourtesy !' Allen Drake mocked. Mrs. Underwood will you oblige me by exhibiting to this gifted gentleman before us the list of people we discovered on his payroll in the Catskill mountains, every one of whom is being shadowed."
 Lillian extracted folded paper from a packet which she held loosely in her hands. and handed it silently to MT. Drake. Tho government agent unfolded it and held it where the bound man could see every scrap of writing upon it.

 face with an intent scrutiny while the
 bound man perused the list of names. | and l knew that he caught. as I did, | the despairing look which flashed in- to Smiths eyes as he came to one particular name heavily underscored, and marked in Lillian's whimsical lphraseology: Chief of underground railway" But the training in sef-control which was Smiths heritage from his former exalted position, and which only his arrogant temper ever dis turbed came to his rescue now, and when he lifted his eyes to Allen Drake's face there was not trace in them of the look which he had caught.
 You are pleased to dream, my good man" he said with superb ar ,rogance. And I am growing very weary of all this nonsense If you mean to kill me or imprison me. please hasten to your task
 You are too impatient" Allen Drake admonished him gravely You probably will have both little formali- ties attended to later. But just now we have another trifling little cere- mony on hand.

Martin laughed uneasily.

Martin laughed uneasiy.
 That's the spirit! Maybe some day I'll come to New York and look you up Sally. Will you remember me Or will you be too stuck up to notice old home town folks?''
 Indeed Sally seemed already to be in New York-awed, stimulated, dazzled, eager, frightened, thrilled.
 What did you Why, Alan Mar tin, you know I'll never forget you-- the friend who gave me my chance!"
 There was hint of tears in Sally's thanks that touched something in the heart of Lucy Bonnet, reporter.
 Listen, children" she said in a warm tone that brought them both comfort, Sally is in for a wonderful there was a big risk of being--a loser. They're the sort that win out in careers but lose everything else everything that makes others real human beings, get me? I hope-and I believe-Sally is going to stay all ways the good fellow she is now. And if she does, she'll win!"
 And what said Martin after a pause. about" He was going to say me" but hastily substituted "clothes" She can't go to the Man hattan Frolics man-whats his name, Golden ?--in those togs, can she?''
 "Oh, thatll be taken care of," said Miss Bonnet
 That night was sleepless for Sally The next day she found herself the celebrity of Branchville When at last she entered the express for Chi cago, with Alan Martins little bou- uuet pressed to her heart, the cheers of scores of townsfolk ringing in her ears and New York looming some where ahead like an unknown non- ster. Sally was badly frightened girl Surely something calamitous must follow such fantastic. unreal seeming good luck ...
 Gross 'em when you get to em!" she kept murmuring to herself and tried to steady her shaky nerves
 The newness of everything helped barish the undenned ogres of imagi- nation. The berths in the sleeper were made up for the night. Sally wondered as she and Miss Bonnet pushed through the narrow aisle of green curtains.
