BEAUTIFUL UNDINE
ON SCREEN SUNDAY
The beautiful Bluebird Photoplay feat
ure, “Undine,” one of the most popular
pictures produced by that popular com
pany, will be the attraction at the Colis
eum tomorrow night. And incidentally,
it will be the first Bluebird feature shown
here.
Fairies, goblins and elfs, mermaids, *
nymphs and sylphs, have been drawn
upon for characters in Undine, the pic
turization of the French classic of the
same title. The shores and forests of the
beautiful Catalina islands, off the coast
of California, provided the scenes for the
production, and the photographer, by art
and trickery, has reproduced a vivid
representation of a real fairyland, in
which Miss Ida Schnall and a score of f
other perfectly formed and physically
beautiful girls are seen, in trappings of
seaweed and other costumes fitted to rep
resent the fashions of fairyland.
Miss Schnall was chosen to enact the
role of Undine because of her renown a9
an athlete and swimmer, and because, in
addition, she possesses rare qualifications
as an actress and beauty of personal
charm.
There are many sensations to furnish
thrills in the portrayal of the story of
Undine—in one remarkable vista Miss
Schnall dives headlong into the sea from
the top of a cliff 130 feet high, generally
accepted as the highest dive ever made
before a moving picture camera.
The feature is in five reels, and not- ^
withstanding the fact that the picture i9
the most costly ever presented by the
Coliseum management the usual feature
prices will prevail—50 cents for gene.al
admission, and a quarter extra for re
served seats.
