“The Exploits of Elaine”
at the Strand
Second Installment of Pathe-Hearst Serial, Here on Tuesday,
Utilizes New Discovery of “The Twilight Sleep.”
The interest excited in the first epi
sode of “The Exploits of Elaine” finds
new stimulation in the second, which
is entitled “The Twilight Sleep” in
which the mystery deepens and the
suspense is “made even more breath
less by the death warning sent to
“Craig Kennedy” when he is enjoin
ed to keep out of the Dodge affair or
take the consequences.
Tremendously interesting, too, is
the strange visitor to the sanitarium
where the wonders of the Twilight
Sleep is demonstrated, who rewards
the kindness of the demonstrators by
pocketing the syringe and serum.
Later w e find the mysterious agent
of the ’’Clutching Hand” in possession
of it, and still in the trail of the cov
eted letter belonging to the late Mr.
Dodge, he enters the sleeping apart
ment of Elaine and injects the ethyl
chloride into the arm of the sleeping
girl, who, in her scmi-conscious state,
obeys the commands of the man of
mystery, opens the safe, and after
ward pens a note to Craig Kennedy,
telling him that his services will no
longer be required in following up the
mystery of her father’s death.
In this installment we have also the
glimmer of a love element to he de
veloped. The face of pretty Elaine
has begun to crowd against science
in the mind of scientific Craig. But
the great feat of the picture is the
ruse of the clever detective in admin
istering an under dose of the Twilight
Sleep producing fluid, under the in
fluence of which Elaine recounts the
incidents of the night before when her
mysterious visitor has commanded
her, thus clearing up the mystery of
the receipts of the note in her hand
writing by Craig.
Another thrilling point of the story
occurs when the agent of the “Clutch
ing Hand” just misses being clutched
in the home of Elaine.

“THE MILLION” AT THE
STRAND TOMORROW ONLY
Edward Abeles, the popular star of
the stage and screen, is presented in
a four-part film adaptation of Henry
W. Savage’s sensationally successful
farce, “The Million,” which has won
the distinction of possessing more
laughter and wholesome fun than any
comedy of recent years. Th e contin
uous mirth proceeds equally from the
action, caricatures and situations of
one of the most novel and ingenious
plots ever presented on the stage or
screen. The subject also presents one
of the most remarkable examples of
character acting in many years, Jn
the impersonations of “Le Baron,”
the crook, by Edward Abeles. In the
course of the story he is called upon
to portray no less than six entirely
distinct characters, and with the as
sumption of each impersonation, Ed
ward Abeles not only presents a
wholly varied physical appearance,
but lends to each of th > six roles a
totally distinct personality.
“The Million” is all fun of the mer
riest sort, with as many laughs as
the title.
Preceding instalments of “Runaway
June” the most wonderful serial story
of the times, may be had free upon
application to Modjeska Theatre or
Herald Business Office.
