“METROPOLIS” AT BRITANNIA
“Metropolis” will be shown again this evening at the Britannia Theatre. “Metropolis” is a presumably typical" city of a hundred years hence, when mechanical achievement has made strides as huge again as those made during the past century. Gigantic buildings, besides which Chicago’s biggest skyscraper would be dwarfed into insignificance, rear themselves in stately grandeur to incredible heights. Graceful suspension bridges wind between the buildings, tier on tier, hundreds of feet from the ground, avenues for the city’s traffic. Airplanes thread their way in and out, passing over a train here, a line of motor-cars there. At night the city is bright with dazzling electric rays, which, ever moving, give it beauty.
