A MASTERPIECE BIG PICTURE COMING TO THE GRAND THEATRE NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT Without doubt the most dramatic event in the history of the world was the distruction of Pompoii in 79 A. D. by n terriffic eruption of the vol cano Mt. Vesuvius. Fifteen years pre vious this delightful city on the shore of the Bay of Naples was rudely shaken and partially destroyed by an earth quake and the inhabitants were just recovering from tho effects of it and rebuilding their public build ings and beautiful homes when the rage of Vesuvius was vented upon them. The volcano for hours poured forth volumes of smoke, hot flames shot up to the heavens nnd a steady downpour of clouds of, hot dust stones and lava kept falling on the doomed city until it was buried twenty-eight feet under cinders, stone and lava, and so completely obliterated that all traces of its location even were lost for nearly seventeen cen turies. Many of the inhabitants es caped but a larger per ccntagc perished.- '"'ThOr-eruptlon was" accompan ied by frequent earth quakes and to add to the horrors a terrible storm raged for hours. It happened while most of the inhabitants were attend ing the games at the nmphitheatre and came upon them so suddenly they were almost paralyzed by fear. The city was shrouded ni darkness nnd oven the sea receded, so that thou sands who sought escape by means of it, in their superstitious fear re turned to tho city, only to bo destroy ed by the foul poison and vapors of tho air and hundreds of other agents of death provoked by the eruption. Lord Bulwor Lytton in his famous romantic novel "The Last Days of Pompeii" immortalized the event and using, data obtained from scientific research and investigation, peopled it with his imagination. Mr. Geo. Klcino with his photo-dramatization of Lord Lytton's novel will do even more to recall it to modern amusement lovers. His picture of the eruption gives a most impressive and vivid idea of tho awful magni tude of this world-famed catastrophe. Mr. Kleine's photo-drama of "The Last Days of Pompeii" will bo pre sented nt the Grand Theatre, Fri day, February 20th. Waterfront Notes.
