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.

good mixer, and a man who knows,
how to get what he goes after. He
is familiar with tho needs of this

the fact that he has real estate. His
intimate friendship with men in close,
touch with tho Wilson adminisiVA

come to Oregon and make a number
