Colossal Theda Kara Super-Product • iou Is Turning Thousands iront Crowded Theatres. Gleopatra, in the person of Theda Bara, presented in the sumptuous film spectacle produced by William Fox,continues her conquering career. More than a million persons paid to see "Cleopatra" during the long runs of this Theda Bara Super-Production in New York. Reports from the road establish the fact that "Cleopatra" is without peer as a record-breaking business getter in all communities and under all kinds of conditions, and that it is act ually turning thousands away. The ope prime reason is that no other woman in history or fiction is so cel ebrated around the world. Hers was the greatest, the most sensational love story of all time. Another reason is that this picture as it has been truly called, is the "most sumptuous production on earth.'" Combine the name of Cleopatra with the world-wide fame of .Theda Bara as a screen creator of famous characters, especially of the romantic type and you have a double drawing power guaranteed to fill any theatre. The pomp and circumstance of Egypt's Golden Age and "the grand eur that was Rome"are pictured with prodigal disegard of 'expense in mounting and costuming the elabo rate Beenes. Beyond compare is the awe-inspiring portrayal of historic incidents like the World's first naval battle,the assassination of Caesar and the deaths of Antony and Cleopatra. No history drama in the annals of pictures compares with "Cleopatra". 8000 feet of film in this production. Meridian Theatre, Saturday, March 1, Matinee at 2 p.m. Evening at 7.
