SHORTT'S THEATRE.
When a classic is announced for transference to the screen, levers of that classic hold their orea'ths. and -.vait expectantly. Experience has proven that many queer things can happen to a story when it is translated into photographic action. The news that Rudyard Kipling's story, "Without iienefit of Clergy," was to bo filmed brought forth many comments whether so dainty and daring a love story could be transferred without sacrificing all that made it an epic. The best answer to this question is the photoplay itself, which is now showing at Shortt's Theatre. Rudyard Kipling himself adapted ■ his story, loarning the technique of scenario writing from Randolph. Lewis, who spent months in England conferring with the author. Then Mr. Lewis went Xo Los Angeles and personally supervised for Mr. Kipling its production by Robert Brunlon under the direction of James Young. The supporting films are good.
