Camden, S. .July l(i, lllir?. j
It Is rumored on the streets tnai J
there Ik a strong probability that Kr
nest Isonhower, .Ihiiich Itawls and Jesse
Morrison, who are changed with the
murder of HhorlfT Ada in Hood of I'atr
tield county, during the trouble at
Wlnnshoro several weeks ago, will bo
tried In York county. The minor has
It that It Ik practically certain that a
change of venue will be secured. The
prosecution for ohvlouH reason* will
not consent t ?? the case lieing triced In
Chester county ami It will therefore
ha more convenient for all parties con
cerned to come to York county than '
elsewhere in the Sixth judicial circuit. !

William Farmim in- Mammoth Htm at
Majestic Theatre To-I)ay.
An impressive feature tilni produc
tion of unusual Importance and power
is the famous Players?Paramount five
part adaptation of Wilson Barrett's su
preme dramatic triumph, "The Sign of
the Cross." at the Majestic Theatre
today, (Friday.) The subject Is an
elaborate version of Wtlsoij. Barrett'-s
wonderful i>opular drama which has
stirred the emotions of every civilized
race throughout the world for many
years.
Comparison. at least as regards Mee
tings and scenic effects, must neces
sarily be Instituted between this and
other plays previously produced deal
hiK with the same characters and pe
riod, and it must be truthfully said
that the value of the present produc
tion is greatly enhanced by such a
comparison, and while it loses nothing
in elaboration of detail. It has the a<N,
vantage -of a story which has so firmly
established Itsvlf in the favor ..of the.
public. .
The part of Marcus Sni>erbus. th#
dominant character of the wonderful
play. Is Impressively portrayed by Wil
liam Farnum. on? of the foremost
actors of classical roles on the A^n?rJi
can stupe, who is eminently fitted ftfr
the part In "The Sign of the Cross." A
notable < 'list hasbefch selectST" In" BIT
support, and hundreds of supers, i'
series of overwhelmingly beautiful set
ting# ami a tableaux of effectively dra
matic scenes further aid the produc
tion in l>eing one of the .most excep
tional film subjects ever offered. The
degree of power and emotional appeal
of the .drama is almost immeasurable^
and it should exert a tremendous ef
fect upon the feelings of all audiences
that witness It. The subject can be
safely termed onfe of the greatest ptao
to-sppotacles ever screened.
