"THE GREAT WHITE WAY."

"The Great White Way," the Cosmopolitan Corporation's fourth big special production, to be screened at tho Paramount Theatre to-morrow, is the most graphic illustration of New York life and its celebrated figures of sport, art, the theatre, and the newspaper world that has ever been drawn for the screen. The film was cix months in the making, at a cost of ' about 1,000,000 dollars. In visualising the New York of to-day, "The Great White Way" brings into bold relief that winding thoroughfare which has won fame the world over as Broadway, and after which the picture is named. No phase of New York life is neglected in the production. I£ pictures accurately the various elements which are woven into existence in a thriving metropolis, from tho bee-hive interior of a metropolitan newspaper plant to the inner workings back-stage of such a Broadway institution as the famous Ziegfeld Follies.' Not only does the picture show the outstanding features of New York life, but it brings to the screen for the first time many of the nations's celebrities. The thrilling race-track episode was filmed at Belmont Park during the time Papyrus, champion English three-year-old, was preparing for the international race with Zev, American champion. Sixteen cameras were in operation for a period of two weeks making these scenes for the film, and no detail of Turf life was overlooked. The box plan is at the Utility Stationery Shop, next to theatre.
