Home of the most wonderful forest flr scenes ever staged appear In the Vitasraph five part Blue Ribbon Fea ture, "The Ninety and Nine," (tarring William Courtenay and Luclle Lee Stewart, which wis directed by Ralph W. Ince and which la the attraction at the Pat I me today. I This story, which la a screen adap tation of Ramsey Morris well known stage success of the same name, de mands that the hero and heroine dash through the burning forest In an en gine In order to save the souls In the town beyond, for "There were ninety and nine who safely lay in the shelter of the fold but one was out In the fields away far from the gates of gold." Dnrector Ince spared no trouble or expense in making these scenes, the most beautiful and spectacular ever filmed. Miles npnn miles of foresfj can be seen blaxlng while mountains of deep grey smoke cover the sky and make the scene dark and drear. The deer In the heart of the woods flee panic stricken while the little rabbits run hither and thither In confusion. Gradually the flames, which start ed owing to the Intense heat, spread towards the little town of Marlow and the inhabitants rush to the telegraph station in hopes of securing some aid. The various trestle bridges which the train must cross catch fire and one by one fall Into the stream beneath. The railroad tracks crumble like so much papier mache and become nse less. Finally the death dealing fire reaches the town and one by one the homes which a few hours before she!, tered happy, contented families crash to earth as so much debria The only means of communication with other towns in order to advise them of their plight is the telegraph and for an hour or so messages are sent to and fro, but soon the fire wreaks its terrible destruction here as well and the last means of com munication with the outside world is cut off as the great poles go crashing to the earth. All these scenes were filmed espe cially for the realism of this produc. tlon and make It one worthy to be re leased by the Greater Vltagraph trade mark from every phase.
