PACKED HOUSE
GEM THEATRE HAS GREAT WAR
DRAMA ON WHICH Is HEARTILY
APPLAuDED-NoEL, AND THoM-
As ARE GREAT AND SONGS AND
4 PICTURES FINE. .*...

Yesterday morning the Tribune pre-
dicted there would be need of the
standing room only sign this week
at the Gem theatre, and the large au-
dience in that playhouse last week
verified the statement. It is seldom
that an audience at a moving picture
show is so moved by the pictures pre-
sented that it breaks out into vocifer-
GUS applause, but such Is the case in
the war drama which is now being
shown. BY all odds it Is the best and
most realistic picture drama that has
been shown in this city, and arous.
,es the patriotism lying dormant in
the most phlegnatic. It is full Of
dramatic and pathetic situations; war
and love running a close race through
it, and when, at the climax, the Union
officers sweeth cart, who lis about to
be shot as "a spy, jumps over a stone
will on horseback between the lev
elled rifles and her lover, and waves
the pardon. she has secured from
President Lincoln, the audience
breaks out into cheers and loud ap-
plause. The scenery of the pictures
is exceedingly, beautiful, and none
should miss the opportunity to see the
drama. e.. ~ ~.

1t is difficult to SLY what idea Plato
had of the Deity. The best scholars
in the world have been trying to settle
the question for centuries without
having reached anything like an agree
ment. But it is clear that he believed
in supreme power and intelligence,
which he seems to make synonymous
with wisdom" and goodness"
Whether he considered the Deity to
be personal or ''impersonal' it is
impossible ITO say. Plato taught the
doctrine of future retribution and ex-
onerates God from all responsibility
for physical and moral evil. - New
