Even larger crowds thronged the
Bijou last Wednesday than on the op
ening of that greatest serial of all
"The Black Box." The reason? Peo
ple had been talking about it all over
town got most everybody interested.
It is totally different from any serial
ever attempted, and that it will hold
interest to the very limit is plainly
evidenced already.
The third thrilling episode is enti
tled "The Pocket Wireless," and con

opments ever recorded on a strip of
celluloid. And while Quest and Leo
nora are scouting around, they come
upon a strange hut on the edge of Prof.
Ashleigh's grounds. They enter by
prying off the lock, and are both im
mediately attacked by a strange man
ape. Quest succeeds in placing it un
der hypnotic control, and kicking up
some rubbish and straw, discovers the
missing skeleton.
There are still other startling devel
opments later, and right near the finish
Quest is suddenly confronted with a
small black box which has mysterious
ly appeared on his desk. Don't mis3

knowing that he was a prospective

and the necessity of his beginning the
