Scenic' Banner Program.
In giving Its strongest program
since the theater was established, Mr.
Gardlnler announces "Romeo and
Juliet" and "The Poisoned Bouquet'
as two extra fine pieces. These two
films will be seen tonight and tomor
row night. Everyone la familiar with
the plot of the Shakespearean tragedy
and It Is needless to say It will be up
to the standard. The other feature Is
also of first-class views. The love ro
mance of a count Is so full of thrill
ing Incidents at to make It a tragedy
of the first order. The humor In the
program Is wrapped up In the third
film.
The two features wpre released for
use on August 16, and are therefore of
the very latest class of moving pic
tures, t
