WORLD THEATRE.
"THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII" TO-DAY.
"Lord Lytton's famous story, "The Last Days of Pompeil" comes to the World Theatre to-day as the feature, attraction until Saturday. This picture cust £100,000 to make and took a year to complete.
The tremendous climax in this film where the city of Pompell is destroyed, will rengin in the memory for many a long day. Never have there been such awe- inspiring scepes in a picture as in this m. with are to be seen Vesuvius erupting and raining fire and lava over the city. great palaces being razed to the ground and the multitude fleeing in terror. Splendid as are the preceding seenes in the film, the last two reels are extremely thrilling. It is diflcult to doseribe in mere words the magnificent drama in these concluding reels, and the brilliantly coloured "shots" of Vesuvius erupting, with the gen oral destruction of Pompei would alone make this picture a trement- ous attraction. The Last Days of l'ompeil is in no way a mere spectacle, for it has more story than any other picture of this character.
