MONDAY. '"The Prize Story" Harry Myers has produced an unusually powerful film In "The Prize Story." Not only is ,the plot excellently constructed, but the staging ! superb. The sets re particularly fine. One of the scenes shows the home of the wife of an adventurer who wishes her to work the badger game on a young artist. The set was designed by Mr. Myers and is a striking adaptation of the current black and white mode. TUESDAY. "The Opening Night" Moving pic ture actors and actresses, many of whom had long years of experience on the speaking stage are particularly well qualified to handle dramas relating to the "legitimate." Adele Lane, who plays the leading role in "The Opening Night," recently related a most interesting story of an actress she had known when she was on the legitimate stage. ' WEDNESDAY. "Eleventh Dimension" From time immemorial theologians and scientists have tried to obtain concrete proof of life after death. Old Prof. Singleton had devoted his entire life to the fascinating subject, and at times his pretty daughter, Betty, believed that he had become deranged in the pursuit, of hfs study. The old professor had fitted up his laboratory with all the chemicals, poisons and paraphernalia of modern science and the middle-age

chemists. The professors felt that another dimension in. space existed. He, called it "the eleventh dimension," for rea

sons best known to himself.
