GRAND
“BODY AND SOUL” “The Lhst Days of Pompeii,” the picture of Lord Lytton’s great novel, will be shown to-night at the Grand Theatre.
The great tale of that unfortunate city was faithfully revealed in this Italian-made film. This story of romance, love, and life in the ancient imperial city of Pompeii was absorbing from many angles. One was transplanted from the haste and bustle of to-day, w T ith the many almost incredible inventions, to the stately grandeur of the days when this city was at a pinnacle of fame. Here we saw the sports of other days—the swimming, the games, the gladiatorial combat in the arean, and the holiday sport of feeding humans to the lions.
