U: 7 TJLUB MOUSE Movt fans and X those who aro fond of the classics . ; of the stage are in for a treat at the Blue Mouse theatre this week, where ' that famous melodramatic classic, "Ten ' Kights In a Barroom," Is being shown until Friday night only. This famous .- eld stage play has been made Into a screen classic and Incidentally one of the big1 hits of -the season. , The story of "Ten Night in a Bar room" la a familiar one to almost 1 everyone, as It has enjoyed great sue- - cs both as a novel and & play. It ' has been, on the boards for over SQ years and is said to have played in every city and town in the country. Therefore,1 it la not surprising that the always enterprising- movie found in it ; splendid material- for a most unusual feature. The story has been followed J faithfully, only making such changes - In the original as the advantages of the 2 screen required. Of course, the wide . range of the photoplay permits of a r much more elaborate version than the - stage could give. Such, scenes as the log jam in the i raging current, culminating in a thrtll ' Ins climax in the rapids and the burn ing of the Inn are only possible since the advent of the motion picture. Even 1 the most elaborate, stage presentation i could not hope to touch them for real T.lsra. Scenes, such as these take months to make and cost a fortune. All or ; the .old favorites are there, Joe Mor- gan. Simon Slade. Ldttle Mary,' Harvey . ; Green, Willie Hammond and all the t rest. ' And aa ' excellent' cast brings them to life with;': all their joys and v. sorrows. , This Is the same production that has proved such a bCg hit with the large ; cities of the East and received the : i praises of the critics of the metropolis. lIRCLB Manager O.

The complications Chat arise are heightened by the obstacles r that Gilbert finds in the romantic path along which he bat .ties bis way to ultimate freedom and happiness. v i : - - ' .
