The coming of Dante Alichierrs "Inferno" in film form to the Arcade theatre next Saturday and Sunday will show1 a marvelous piece of ptcturedom. When the Idea of reproducing the story Dante's "Inferno" was first suggested It met with a storm of ob jections and criticisms. It was point ed out that such a task would cost enormous sums of money, that thera ware only half a dozen artists living to whom th.9 principal parts in tho production could be safely entrusted, that many of the scenes in Dante'i 'Unferno" required animals, such as a panther, a. lion ,a wolf, serpents, etc that It would be Impossible to show in pictures the difficulties of the de scending from one . pit Into another and, that such things as frozen lakes, ponds of boiling pluh, or such imag es as that of Cerberus, or the demons. or the giants, or Lucifer, were utter ly, beyond the possibilities of human art. Nevertheless, the small band of artists who were inspired by a wish to bring the charms and beauties of 1 Dante home to the great masses, un- dertook the work and kept at it with a patience and perservance which .could not be discouraged. After many , failures and after months had bean spent In this endeavor two or three 1 scenes were at last successfully film I ed. . Theaa scenes were" among the (hardest In the entire. book and thy i were shown to the most prominent Dante societies throughout Europe and to' most of Europe's leading Dnnte societies. The doubterB were soon changed into enthusiastic help ers and the office and studio of the Milano-FHms company' became a ce" ter for painters, sculptors, musicians. scolarsl poets and authors, all lend ing an eager hand to 4he completion of the, work so courageously begun. Though It Is not the policy of the People's Amusement company to ex ast higher charges for . special fea tures, the privilege of using "Infer no" In Oregon has cost huge sums and Manager Georg has been In strutced to charge 25 cents for the performance here. BOY WANTED Fam-Us-Klng Cigar Factory. j John Gardner was down on bis Jack. De bad been well bora and well edu cated. Then vue misfortune after AD 'other came opon him and Ibe family ;to which be belonged just as be wus ready to make a start in life, and threw bim, so to speak, on bis beam ends. Ete went about applying for a position, but since be bad bad no ex perience in any department of busi ness be received no better offer than to solicit orders for a patent gas burner. -Gardner, who bad not yet worn out . bis good clothes and was afraid of (meeting some of bis old friends who I would know what be wus doing, kept bis samples down lo the bottom f his pocket Be bad sufficient pluck, however, to drag himself, from cue bouse to another. . and . whenever be was received by any one wbom be was sure be bad never seen before would produce a gas burner and proceed to expatiate. on what a wonderful light it would make and bow tittle gas would be burned. One morning be rang the bell of a residence, and tbe door was opened by a young girl. De didn't mind solicit ing of old women, oil men or serv ants, but girls troubled blm. Be was about to ask if some one be was try ing to find lived there, but cbanged bis 'mind, concluding that as short a way as any to make an excuse to go ou would be to produre a sample. The girl would say she bad no use for it and that would eud tbe matter. "1 am canvassing' for a putent gas burner." be began, when tbe girl, much to his surprise, said. "Step in' side." Lie did so, and she led the way to a drawing room. ' Then, asking bim to be seated, she waited for bim to proceed- with bis harangue. There was nothing left for. bim but to do so. "This gas burner," be said, "la ar ranged to sepurate tbe gas into mi nute streams, so that It will mingle freely with the oxygen of tbe air. pro ducing a brilliant light and consum ing a minimum of gas. Instead of the enormous gas bills run up by using tbe ordinary form of burner, tbe consumer finds himself or herself Indebted to the company for a bagatelle." "Are you quite sure," interrupted the girl, 'that tbe company will not at tbe end of the month be Indebted to the consumer?" v i Gardner looked at ber with a con strained smile, but. seeing no sign of pleasantry and scarcely knowing what be was saying, staggered on, "We scarcely claim that for it, but we are willing to guarantee that the monthly gas bills will be reduced by 50 per cent of what they are when the ordinary burner Is u.ned." "At , what price do you sell yoar burners'" "At 10 cents each." "1 will1 take a hundred of themv 1 suppose you will put tbem on for me." -I.ar:r order like tliut are usually put on by iwiuie one from the factory." "1 nut opposed to allowing Tom.
