Terrible Incident in Ford's Theater When President Was Slain, Graphically Reproduced in Play That Conies to
the Orpheum.
A kind of artistic achievement easy for the (11m, but impossible for the "indoor drama" is illustrated by the
i Ford's Theater scene in "The Birth of a Nation," booked for the week of February 14 at the Orpheum. The
old-fashioned drama has long attempted to represent a stage within a stage, and some of such representations
have been rather realistic. But in the film scene showing the assassination of President Lincoln, one sees not
only the complete stage of Ford's Theater in April 1865, but also the auditorium of the theater, the audience and
the historical figures in the boxes.
Laura Keene is playing "Our American Cousin." assisted by E. A. Sothern. in the role of Lord Dundreary.
They are startled out of their mimic parts by the shot that Wilkes Booth tired. The audience has risen to its
feet as the shot is heard and cranes forward in a seinipanic to gaze at the great statesman whose head has fall
en back in the stage box and at theassassin Booth who is leaping from the box to the stage and whose spur
catches in the box draperies as he jumps, causing him to break his leg. This sort of historical realism has never
been achieved before. It Is part of what is meant by Vhe so-called "newart" for which D. W. Griffith is re
sponsible.
Spectators gaze at the scene with fascinated horror. It is too terrible, too awesome for applause, yet not a
spectator but feels that in this impressive rendition Mr. Griffith has surpassed the greatest previous art
achievements of the film drama.

Do You Feel Headachy?
Look to Your Stomach
It is an unusual thing for a druggist
to sell medicine under a guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure...
Yet tills is the way that nearly every
druggist in Harrisburg is selling Mi- j
o-na, the standard dyspepsia remedy.
Druggists say that never before]
have they had so a number of
customers tell them that a medicine j
I has been successful as with Mi-o-na.:
People who a few months ago suffered
continually with their stomachs to-day
] are ruddy and vigorous with perfect
I digestion and good health. They say
Mi-o-na did it.
There no longer seems any need for
anyone suffering or making their
friends suffer on account of dyspep
sia. Mi-o-na can always be relied
upon. The percentage of success is so
great that there Is little risk in guar
anteeing to return the money if the
medicine does not relieve. And all j
the best druggists stand ready to do so j
without any questions.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all
forms of liver trouble are helped by
Mi-o-na. A few days' treatment
should show considerable gain in
health, while a complete cure often
follows rapidly.
These days are the best in t<ie whole
year for the enjoyment of good health,
and Mi-o-na will put you in such per
| feet condition that you can enjoy
every minute of them. Sold and rec
ommended by H. C. Kennedy and

extreme —a ray of the ethereal among
the sordidly mundane. Whitney's Op

burg remembers among Orpheum days.
The quartet of singers are most enter
taining and except for the weakness of
the soprano voice, blend well. The so
prano lack of volume is made up In the
sweetness of the voice. Browning and
Morris have a clever dialogue on the

accorded Baby Helen. And she deserves

| Lou-Tellegen will, perhaps, be better
remembered by local theatergoers in
his splendid performance in "The Ex

day to Gerraldine Farrar makes his
presence at the Regent doubly inter
esting.
"The Unknown" Is the film adapta
tion of the well-known novel, "The Red
Mirage," by I. A. R. Wylie. and in the
title role, Mr. Tellegen "goes strong;"
his work before the camera could
scarcely be improved upon.
The story has to do with a Victoria
Cross, worn by a son (The Unknown),
in memory of his father, who disap

free, presents ample opportunity fur
Mr. Tollegen to exercise his rare art.
The scenes are laid in a little Al

Desert, and the actors in this fascinat
