GREAT FILM IS GOING
GRIFFITH SPECTACLE "INTOLER
ANCE" TO OPEN YEW YEAR'S.
Eleventh-Street Theater la Secured for
Big Production Four Epochs In
Illatorr Depleted.
'"Intolerance," hailed by all. critics as
the greatest of all film spectacles, will
open a two weeks' engagement at the
Eleventh-street Theater on Monday
afternoon (New Year's day), under the
direction of the Helllg Theaterman
agement. Whitaker Ray, business manager for
the "Intolerance" company, and per
sonal representative of D. W. Griffith,
closed negotiations yesterday with the
Helllg Theater management for the
Eleventh-street Theater. Two per
formances will be given daily, after
noon and evening, the presentation to
be accompanied by a 30-piece orches
tra and a chorus of 12 voices.
Some Idea of the magnitude of the
production may be. gathered from a
requirement of 16 men for the work
ing force and effects requiring the
use of a 60-foot baggage car. It ia
described as the greatest of all pic
tures, dealing with "love's struggle
throughout the ages." Four separate
stories, representing as many epochs
in history, are carried along together,
and not completed as Introduced, all
leading up" to a terrific climax.
A modern story, medieval France, in
Lthe reign of Charles IX and Catherine
de Medici, Jerusalem and Judea during
the days of the Nazarene and Babylon
preceding and during the overthrow of
Belshazzar by Cyrus the Conqueror,
are the different epochs utilized to
show the spirit of Intolerance that has
dominated the ages.
A cast of unusual strength is used
in "Intolerance," including Lillian
Glsh, Mae Marsh, tlobert Harron, Mir
iam .Cooper, Ralph Lewis. Olga Grey,
Bessie Love, Margery Wilson. Con
stance Talmadge, Seena Owen, Carl
Stockdale and Tully Marshall.

PENALTY MUST BE PAID
RIGHT OF COUNCIL, TO REMIT IN
CONTRACTORS' CASE DE.MED.
City Attorney Saya Commissioner Are
Only Agents Where Fnnds Com
From Property Owners.
When a city contract provides for a
bonus for completion of the work
before a specified time and a pen
alty for - delays beyond that time,
the Council cannot remit the penalty if
the amount of tho penalty would or
dinarily go to the benefit of property
owners paying for the work. Such was
the ruling yesterday of City Attorney
LaRoche in the case of a recommenda
tion of Commissioner Dleek for re
mittance of part of a 11600 delay pen
alty against Gleblsch & Joplin. con
tractors, on the Un)on avenue viaduct.
The contract was delayed 64 days and
the penalty was S25 a day or $1600 for
the entire period. Commissioner Dieck
recommended remitting all but J500 of
the penalty, and the Council referred
the matter to City Attorney LaRoche
to rule on tho legality of such action.
Mr. LaRoche says in his report that the
Council Is acting as agent for the
property owners, who are assessed for
the cost and therefore lacks the power
to remit the penalty unless the amount
Is paid from some city fund other than
that provided by the property owners
under the assessment plan. -
