EVERYBODY'S.
"TALE OF TWO CITIES." There has been ..no expense spared in the great Fox studios to make "The Tale of Two Cities," the picture reproduction of the wonderful Charles Dickons story dealing with events of the French revolution, the most perfect visualisation possible of this romance. "The Tale of Two Cities" is being screened this evening at the Town Hall, and in the production the well known charactor, William Farnum, is at the head of a long and strong cast. There are many interesting moments in the film for its plot follows exactly upon the lines laid down by the author of the immortal book. Williann Farnum in this picture plays in a dual role, for his work is to supply a fitting part for the characters of both Charles Darnay, the aristocrat, and Sidney Carton, the ne'er-do-well, or it will be remembered by the multitudes, who have the incidents of "The Talc of Two Cities" at their finger-ends that Darnay and Carton were two men who were precisely alike in feature, and possessed each of a character the antithesis of the other yet their love is for the same woman. The scenes are often intense and occasionally spectacular. The part of Lucie Manette, the heroine, is taken by Miss Jewel Carmen, and with Farnum, the pair make a fine lead to the many other players in the cast. "The Talc of Two Cities" will be screened for one night only.
