All photo play patrons and many who never attend the picture theatre are at a high pitch of expectancy and pleasurable ''anticipation by the announcement that Rex Beach's famous novel "The JSpoilers" visualized by Selig Company Will be shown in the Imperial theatre, on Monday, Dec. 13, at 3 and again in the evening. This picture has had a remarkable run. It holds the record' for the Strand theatre in New York where it rau for a fortnight.

It was then presented in Chicago where "The Spoilers" originally opened for an engagement of two weeks and remained twelve, doing a capacity business. Again, in Los Angeles, for a brief engagement of two weeks, nearly one hundred thousand people saw this picture. In San Francisco, fifty thousand people saw "The Spoilers" the first week, and thousands upon thousands were turned away. So enormous was the demand that it became necessary to extend the San Francisco engagement for an additional week, and to open the doors at 9:30 in the morning. The remarkable success of "The Spoilers" in American cities is be ing repeated in Canada.

At Montreal, where the engagement was origin ally for three days, so insistent was" the demand for seats that it wis continued for another week, to capacity houses. On the last night of this engagement so tremendous was the crowd that thousands were turned away unable to gain admission. There is always conspicuous meTit In an attraction that makes such a record. The moving picture censor at Vancouver would not allow the pictures to be presented in that city, and the matter was taken up with the Attorney General with the result that the film had a record run in Vancouver, enormous crowds attending every showing of the pictures. A number from Chilliwack saw "The Spoilers" at Vancouver, and without exception, highly commend it.
