BIG LAND DEAL.
A STU
Shanghai Man's Death.
Dr Sun Sells Agricultural“ Station.
The following is translated from a Canton Chinese paper:
A big land deal, in which the chief figures are Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the Bank of Canton, has came to light and aroused the opposition
of the merchants and others. What the upshot will be is difficult to foretell-Dr. Sun has given his reasons for the sale and the next step by those who are seeking its cancellation is awaited with no small amount of interest.

It is not every day that one has an opportunity to see a film that runs through twelve reels of suspense; of marvellons staging, of breathless interest, of superb acting; and it is not every picture of 12 reels that one can sit through without fatigue, without monotony, spell-bound, enchanted, living through the fascinating adventures of the actors, participating in their joys and griefs, their hopes and disappointments. Yet such a picture is "ATLANTIDE." It is a picture at once daring in its scope, deep and intense in its mystery and fascination.
