' The Count of JYonte Christo is 'to,, be portrayed on the screen at the Arcade theatre next Monday and Tuesday. The play is presented by , the Famous Players, an aggregation ; of men and women who have won their spurs in the theatrical worlds and for this reason this famous play tnken from the times of Napoleon j Bonaparte, cannot but win the hearts of all who witness the silent acting ' on the screen. Political intrigue and : the undying hope of the heroine of ; seeing her young husband, and the final granting of her prayer, coupled, with many incidents in an active life, make this picture really a feature film of great merit. The Count of Monte Christo is too well konwn to ; recite the story. It is one of those old dramas that has had half year runs at the leading theatres of New ! York, Chicago and Boston, and com mends itself to the reader for its ac-'j tion and the depth of feeling which.; a battle of intelligence is brought to bear upon time and space. It wil', ..... t . clarify the story as did the superb picture Quo Vadis and will imprint upon the mind or the spectator scenes which time will not wear out.
