VIEWS OF MESSINA DISASTER.
First Moving Pictures to Be Shown
at Local Theater.
At the Orpheum theater this week pictures of the earthquake and disaster which recently overtook the inhabitants of Messina, Italy, will be shown by the kinodrome. These pictures are probably the first authentic ones of the disaster to be exhibited in the United States. They were taken by photographers as soon as the earthquake was over and show the work of rescue by the soldiers of the different countries.
Scenes of pillage and scenes of heroic work among the rescuers, the awful condition of the survivors and the ruined homes and buildings are all included in the film of moving pictures. The pictures are interesting for the accuracy and the realistic views of one of the greatest disasters which has befallen a people within the past generation.
