Supplementing the big picture aro a comedy, a Burton Holmes Travelogue, and Gazettes. .Delightful incidental ' music is contributed by the Queen's grand orchestra, under the direction of Mr. A. H, Jerome. "TO THE LADIES." Under the direction of James Cruze, who produced "The Covered Wagon," "Hollywood," and "Buggies of Bed Gap," it is predicted that the screen version of "To the. Ladies," a Paramount picture coming to i.b<».
