Famous Player Monday. '
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. It is'
clean and deals only with heroic ae-
' tion. For this reason it will be es
pecially interesting to persons' who
.like heavy fiction.
