to date with numerous features added
and produced upon elaborate lines. The
story tells of the abduction of Sinbad's
sweetheart and of the search following
which leads to an ocean voyage with
Sinbad as a stowaway. The ship is

order to save their neck's from the
noose they scuttle the ship, expecting
to take their chances of being saved

The plot Is bo originally daring that

obeying the dictates of Zigomar's wo
man accomplice astound and fascinate
one. The final scene. In which Zigomar
and his entire black-robed band are
captured, finds the great master-mind
outwitted but not defeated. His last

MAHY STUART" AT THE GLOBE
Schiller's- Masterpiece to Be Shown
on Film Beginning Today.
One of the greatest of all historical
plays is the life story of Mary Stuart,
Scotland's beautiful and much loved
queen. She was one of the most un
fortunate and sympathetic characters
In history.
It Is the masterpiece of - Frederick
Schiller's genius, which the Edison
Company has produced, after months of
preparation and rehearsal, . In a three-
reel photoplay, which will be shown
at the Globe theater. Eleventh and
Washington. Sunday. Monday and
Tuesday. The cast includes the
greatest and best known of the Edi
son staff. Mary Fuller is seen as
Mary Stuart, the "beautiful queen."
Stately Miriam Nesblt portrays : Queen
Elizabeth, England s sovereign, to
whom Queen Mary fled for' safety, and
instead found death. Marc MacDer
mott, as Earl of Leicester, also is in
the all-star cast.
It is a masterly theme, handled in
a masterly manner. Photographically.
It is a work of art. The scenery and
costumes are very elaborate.
Miss Daphne Lewis, the soloist At
the Globe, Is dally becoming deservedly
more popular, and the organ always
delights. The comedy end of the pro
gramme is in the hands of the Bio
graph funmakers and Is well worth
seeing.
It fulfills the purpose for which It was I
written , none will deny.

"THE GIRL IN THE TAXI" COMES
Baker Players Soon to Present Hila
riously Funny Farce.
In announcing to his patrons the
looming production of 'The Girl in the
Taxi," which follows "The Ne'er Do
Well"- at the Baker, Manager Baker
wants to correct a rather general im
pression that it is a musical comedy.
It is not musical in any sense of the
word, but one of the liveliest farces
ever written, and Its success has been
little short of marvelous. It is clean
and free from suggestiveness, carry
ing a story of Bohemian life with Just
enough spice to keep things lively with
out offending.
The situations are ridiculous in the
extreme, and are constructed with but
one purpose to create laughter.
It all started from the unusual incr
dent of a certain girl and a strange
man happening to get into a taxi dur
ing a rain storm at the same moment
and what It all lead to. Like all farces
it is foolish and impossible, but that
