TIVOLI THEATRE.

A special attraction, "Southern Love," is now showing simultaneously at the Tivoli Theatre. Tho story of "Southern Love" tells of a great dancer. Betty Blythe, recently captured by Arabs in Africa and since not heard of, plays the leading role. The supports are of 'excellent quality. An added attraction is the singing of Mr. Charles Melvin, late of tho Koya-l Opera Quartette, who renders tho song "Southern Love,!' specially written for tho film production. "AFTER. SIX ..DAYS." Box plans for the season of "the picture without a-parallel/' "Tho Creation," or "After Six Days," were opened at The Bristol yesterday, morning, and brisk booking set in, indicating a keen interest in the picture, which will be shown twice daily at the Tivoli Theatre, beginning on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. There has been but ono book written that is perfect material for tho screen without revision, deletion, or re- | titling. That book has had' the greatest sale of any volume ever published. The j book referred to tells tho greatest love storios of all time, narrates the greatest drama of t,he ages, and offers the finest j possibilities to tho producer enterprising enough to envisage its wealth of hidden worth. That'it is tho Bible, the Old Testament, yet for all its glorious possibilities, its educational, historical, and entertainment value, the Old Testament has virtually been untouched heretofore by any motion picture producer, until the Artcliiss Pictures Corporation, in search of clean,- beautiful, worth-while piciure material j found in "After Six Days" the opportunity to present all the splendid drama, and inspiring romances ' of the Bible as they have never been shown before. The production took five years'of actnal photographing. Tho cast is th« largest ever assembled for a picture, : numbering many thousands of principals | and supernumeraries. It required the j work of a director-in-chiof and eleven other directors together with an army o£ assistants, and the interior settings are the,largest ever filmed. The actua.l ground made sacred by what happened there centuries ago was used for the localo of tho picture. Whole troops of people; were transported to Jerusalem, Babylonia, Mesapotamia, Egypt) and Palestine.- Their transportation alone cost a fortune, while outfitting them with the necessary poriod costumes was a stupendous item. In magnitude of story, settings, characters, effects, investiture, and entertainment, it surpasses the supremo efforts of contemporary producers of the 1 Old World and tho New.
