' fe , ' > 4i AfcV < Vr?t . Out of its triumphs and its failure M 4;, comes to us the story Hall Caine has called "The Eternal City," and which, . , woveij into a spectacular picture by '•the Famous Players Film company, is being presented at the Astor theatre v - with Miss Pauline Frederick in the Sgjflpstltte role. -K « ' f No city in the world holds so much * " in its embrace as does Rome. No city has reached its power and domin­ ion, and no city has its history. From the dreadful days of Nero to the pres- ** ^'^ent day there have been men born V swho have had the good of Rome at y• ^V,#heart and who have fought and died ^ -%>. unknown that the city might be ex- Z.J* alted. Of suclf spirit was Rome founded and for such spirit it will l^.^'-ig^ever be famous. 'h ip t All th& glamor, this power has ,* . been preserved in this picture of the g* Eternay City. The curtain goes up ; on the city of Rome banked against night sky, its lights reflected in the ~ v> ' -water shimmering at its feet, and thruout the entire play the back­ ground of actual Italy is carefully thought of. The story is the development of human characters strangely acted up­ on by fate. There seems to have ; been a mold prepared for each char- acter, a certain amount of suffering and anguish predestined for each. 0'^, tThe coliseum lying in ruins is made ; - a center of one of the most stirring V -*« scenes, where a mob of hundred of - people flee thru its openings. It is * |V--; a scene that is unbelievable, when one , i Hf ^ * stops to think that the mob is modern and the soldiers but actors after all. The papal scenes are beautifully dig­ nified and highly impressive. His holi­ ness, the Pope, and the Vatican are wonderful; nothing short of miracu­ lous when the forethought and hard work to represent such a character in such settings are considered. Miss Frederick as Roma, swayed by fate and ruled by power other than " her, is splendidly convincng." The v ,f* x 'dea that Rome either makes or breaks her people is plainly set h forth in the action of the scenes and {.;/ in • f /• h * WiA" * <' * : ' it SMt ••Jv; v predestination is so clearly manifest­ ed that we have the feeling of peep ing behind the scenes of life to know what is coming next. There is one thing that we never lose sight of, the fact that the char­ acters are living, breathing men and women, moved and actuated by a fate they know not of, and fighting for they know not what. It was ever thus with the world. We are all fighting, altho we know it not. Just fighting for existence and what comes of it? Civilization and a better race of men and women, who will take our places after we are gone. That is the object of the Eternal City, that is why it is eternal, because it had this idea long ago, and that is what the picture shows foremost. We run thru the gamut of emotions and realize that after all how little it takes to influence a nation, altho it seems as tho we have done nothing at all at the time. As a picture of high standing, of great artistic value because of its rep­ resentation of the life and doings of the characters of careful deliberation, of scenic detail~which seems to mean so little and which tffter all means everything, of gorgeous backgrounds and real life in a country foreign to us, the presentation of "The Eternal City" justifies its name and the name and reputaton of the Famous Players. It is a beautiful piece of work, care­ fully tind accurately performed, and presenting a phase of life of ulti­ mate value in the history of the world. "The Eternal City** will be at the Central Thanksgiving, Nov. 80. QUARTER OF A CENTURY Itefiu Clipped From The Plaindealer Of Twenty-Five Years A|o Geo. S.

Parker had the misfortune to be knocked dowt; and run over by a rnuaway team one day last week. Two bones in his left elbow were dial- located, which will lay him up for some time. It was fortunate that it was not more serious. The rain has come and it was mucjji needed. It has been beautiful au­ tumn weather, with many ideal Indian summer days, but dry, and rivers, streams and even lakes have shrunlC. But the bountiful harvests have been gathered, prosperity is present every­ where, the year has been a good one with good days clear thru and calls for a sincere Thanksgiving day. On the first of January, 1892, the half and quarter dollar and dime sil­ ver coins will appear in new and much handsomer designs. Those which will probably be selected for the new half dollar, quarter and dimes are a clas­ sic head of Liberty, instead of the sib' ting figure of her, on the obverse side of all three coins, .and the coat of arms of the United States upon the reverse of the half and quarter.

One hundred and thirty-odd words per minute is die utmost speed thus far attained on a Typewriter by 'demonstra­ tion-operators,' trained like athletes for'Speed-Con­ tests;' even they have been able to maintain this rate for a little while. - ' , That seems to be the limit of human nerves and muscle*^ Perhaps it is only the limit of most machines. The speed-limit of the OLIVER lies far beyond that point. The OLIVER has been driven half again as fast as human hands have ever written, with perfect alignment and &yle In the OLIVER factory every typewriter, when assembled is given a Speed Test by means of a mechanical exer­ ciser, electrically driven. The metal fingers, never tir­ ing, play over keys at the rate of eight hundred strokes --Two hundred words per minute. Every machine that comer from the OLIVER factory has a demonstrated potential speed greater by half than any operator has yet attained on any typewriter. The OLIVER can maintain its speed, day in and day out, for a human life-time. In an endurance test at the fact­ ory one machine was operated by the mechanical ex­ erciser for two entire years, running continuously at a rate which no "Speed-Contest" has equalled even for a moment. And the typewriter was in perfect working condition at the end. The OLIVER cannot 'Gamble Your Words.' The OLIVER Typebar cannot jam or interlock--"it prints downward, just as you write." Under the deft, light touch of the skilled operator, at top-most sgeed, the writing is ac­ curate, brilliant, and in perfect alignment. The owner of an OLIVER buys greatest speed-capacity and" qotiJ- ity alike. . ' . As if with human sympathy, the OLIVER responds to every increase in the skill of human hands. The more you can do, the more the OLIVER can do for you. The Oliver Typewriter Extra Capacity Model 9 H. T.
