of the Panama Canal to be shown by
Lyman H. Howe at the Heilig Thea

eight nights at 8:30 and seveq days
at 3, beginning tonight,' it is necessary
to say that it represents the work of
the most expert photographers for a
period of several years. It is re
markable in every sense, but especially
so for its matchless photography.
Two of the photographers con-

photographed from behind armored
screens. The "stirring" came ' from
flying boulders. Kvery branch of the
work carried on among the wild wastes
of Panama is vividly shown. Dredges,
with huge iron hands plunging deep
into, the water, are shown emerging
with five-ton fistfuLs of rock. Cutting
machines are seen piercing walls of
solid rock as though they were of
cheese.
The fiery geysers of Yellowstone
Park which act as a "safety valve" for
mother earth also constitute a bis;
feature of Howe's new programme. At
every turn, water is seen boiling
furiously either in vats carved by
nature or is being ejected to great
heights by fierce explosions under
neath. Masses of steam rush from
openings in the ground. Terrible con
vulsions of nature ensue and monstrous
cauldrons become more and more
active until the whole ensemble be
comes a veritable inferno.

CROOK PLAY STAGED AT BAKE1!
Paul Armstrong's 'A Itomance or the
Underworld" This Week.
Paul Armstrong, the writer of crimi
nal plays, whose "Alias Jimmy Valen
tine," "The. Deep .Purple" and others
have thrilled thousands of theater
goers, has alBO given " the American
stage "A Romance of the Underworld,"
which the Baker Players will offer for
the first time, In stock here the coming
week, beginning this afternoon.
The opening scene takes place in the
-ourt room on the day set aside for
pronouncing sentence on prisoners
co"victed of different crimes. Richard
Elliot, who has been a city inspector,
is being railroaded on a trumped up
bribery charge and about to be sent
up for a term of years. Tom McDer
mott. a young newspaper man. just ad
mitted to the bar, meets Elliott s sis
ter, and gets her to let him take
charge of the case. There is a strug
gle to have sentence postponed, but he
falls, although she manages to arouse
doubt in the Judges mind and get
week's reprieve.
Then they go to work and do a lot
of manipulating, tc the end that when
the trial is resumed they have many
new things to spring on the Jury.
The trial scene is the big scene of
the play. A big thunder storm comes
up and it gives Doris an idea. All the
opposing witnesses are swearing the
day was extremely hot when the bribe
was given on the street corner, and she
sends for the weather man wno proves
that it rained three inches that day.
The prosecution falls flat, Elliott is
freed and the young reporter-lawyer
wins the pretty sister.
In its telling "A Romance of the Un
derworld" is full of realism.
There are numerous characters and
many rousing climaxes, exciting situa
tions and pretty love scenes, as well as
plenty of comedy. It will run all week
with matinees today. Wednesday and
Saturday and the popular bargain night
tomorrow.

places caught Mexican soldiers fleeing
for cover in the midst or a rain ot
bullets. Snipers shooting from ambush
also were snapped by the movie man
and various evolutions of the dark
skinned soldiery in battle are pictured
clearly.

Is that showing the departure of the
American fleet from Hampton Roads
and other pictures of the warships
show them at anchor in various Mexi
can ports. .
The regular headllner of the 'vaude
ville, show Is the Picchiani Troupe,
