Soldiers' Aid Benefit "The Blue Bird," an Arteraft picture, will be shown ut the Opera House Monday and Tuesday next, [tax an adaptation, by Churles Maigne, from Mueterlinck's master piece, which bas attracted wide attention in the dramatic and hetrary world. While it dealt with subjects of great profundity in an allegorical manner, it was easily under- stood, 'The great author took for bis central figures ulittle boy and girl, and for them be drew aside the curtain of life, delved into the past and touched eloquently upon the great Beyond, In the form of a play, a produced in London und later in New York, the story teemed with dramatic interest, and instead of a heavy preachment or a dry sermon it developed into a virile pres- entation, sparkling with vivacity, In adap- ting this work to motion pictures, director Maurice Tourneur, who staged the pro- duction for Arteraft, has curried out the idea of the author in making the photo- pluy underttanduble, He discussed the scenes with the tiny actors, who are theor- etically the leading characters, believing that if these children can grasp the story, the avernge patron of a moving-picture theatre, with the aid of the lucid titles which 'embellish the film, should easily follow the play and understand the allegory. The result is a unique play, of stupendous magnitude, in which is incorporated the highest technique of photographic art, with multiple filn exposures requiring infinite cure and patience Settings of colossal size and ensembles of bundreds of people make this photoplay 'u mighty spectacular offering in which the urtistic details have been carefully looked after One half of the entire proceeds goes to the Soldiers' Aid.
