masterpiece from the pen Of Victor
Hugo, "The Hunchback of Notre
Dame?" The story is one that enter
tains both youth and old age being
based on historical facts, it is not
only entertaining and thrilling, but

There was no more romantic per-

chose this world moving drama.
In making the casting the story
for the screen Carl Laemmle fol
lowed the text most consistently.
The setting, furnishing and all 9TH

Lon CLANCY, one of the greatest
character impersonators ever to APP

created what critics say is his great
est role, as he portrays the charac-
ter of the Hunchback.

in some fashion, making out at
first with lighted splinters and pine
knots. Then the more cultured
races began using lamps of bronze
and other metals, developing them
until they became highly artistic
and ornamental, though not very
useful for illuminating purposes.
Finally, about SO B. c., the Romans
began to use rushes soaked in
grease, and these were the fathers
