There was a hint of tears in Sally's thanks that touched something in the heart of Lucy Bennet, reporter. “Listen, children,” she said in a warm tone that brought them both eomfort, “Sally is in for a wonderful adventure.

Wednesday, the wonderful, gigantic, gorgeous, im- mortal romance, is the great drama and novel, “Monte Cristo” by Alex- andre Dumas, which at the present time is one of the most talked of mo- tion plctures of todsy. In the pro- fession it is receiving a large measure of prafse because it is one of the big- gest productions of the year and con- tains wonderful spectacular drama value. There have been many screen spectacles which were entertajning from this angle alone but this Willlam Fox production has a combination of all the elements 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 sallor is torn from his bride on his wedding day and cast in a 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 ag dramatic; and the director, Emmett J. Flynn, gives to the screen audience in this picture not only food for tie imagination, but a feast for the eye. Mr. Flynn was assisted in preparing the settings for “Monte Cristd>” 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 one of the world's greatest pieces of Ilterature. A solid wall of masonry rising from the waters of the Pacific oc2an to a height of more than a hundred fcet, forms but one angle of the motion ipicture set representing the famous Chateau d'If, the terrible prison in which Edmund Dantes, later Monte Cristo, was imprisoned for twenty years, In this scene alone, hardships of Monte in presents the grim side and when Monte, played by John Gil- tert, is thrown from the wall into the waters, the breath of the apdience will almost stop. Gilbert risks‘his life in this scene and the underwater pic- ture is taken by five cameras, recerd- ing his escape from the bag. cannot afford to miss this splendid work of art at the low prices offered to witness the film.
