white slave report. Traffic In 6ouls' has
made one Of the greatest hits OF any
photo-drama ever produced. and the rea-
sons for this can be clearly understood
when 1t is considered that this modern
drama teaches lesson and will be a
great aid in the suppression Of white
slavery. Several reports have been cir
culated to the effect that Traffic in
Souls is claiming the support Of many
of the vice-crusading societies without
having authority to do so, but on Octo-
Der q, last, when the film was reviewed
by the National Board of ,Censors, the
following societies were also represented:
The Union Theological Seminary, Camp
Fire Girls, Committee of Fourteen for the
Suppression of the Raines Law Hotels,
City Vigilance Committee, Sanitary and
Moral Prophylaxis Society, Greenwich
House, Travellers Aid Society, Civic The
ater Movement, and District Attorneys
Office.
The picture was reviewed twice, and,
after a lengthy discussion, these socie-
ties decided to pass the film favorably,
as 1t did not contain any Objectionable
features. It was also calculated that, al
though it might not be considered strictly
in the light of a perfect educational pro-
ject, the many elements OF good and

Traffic in Souls is the photoplay now
] on exhibition in over twenty Shubert
! houses. Reliable reports assert the pic
lures to be a well made series of films
with considerable dramatic power, show
ing the hideous details of a vicious life
to any and everyone having the price to
pay to see them.
Since the sensation CAUSED by '.Trafic

title of THE Inside of the White Slave
Traffic" have been put on view. The
Majestic Theater in this city has been
OF ened Tor the current week for the pur-
poe of presenting this further defIe-
ment of the stage. The Inside of the
White Slave Traffic" purports to be based
on the investigations Of some one of the
persons who are being paid for dragging
out the inside facts of the trade of pros
dtution, claiming to teach girls the avoid
lnce OF traps set to drag them into the
quagmire of vice, and taking no ac-
count Of the thousands Of boys and girls
who se thoughts are turned sewerward by
the vivid pictorial presentation Of dam
gers so abvious that 1t would be an ab-
normally stupid girl who did not see and
know them.
The Academy also presents a new vice
play, by William Anthony Mcclure
called The Cost of Living" which is
said to set forth a number of dramatic
facts and to play up the errors into
which working girls fall, because of their
pitiably low wages. thus swelling the list

For. the first time in this city ''The Cost

this week. The play contains an earnest
plea for new method Of dealing with
vice, a subject with which Mr.. Mcclure
has occupied himself for several years.
Most q the characters and scenes are
laid In the underworld Of New York.
In his new play Mr.. Mcclure relates
the story of twp girIs-sisters-who work
In department store and upon the low
wages earned strive to support their
mother and themselves. Their struggle Is
described In four acts. How the older Sis

right and wrong, barters her virtue for

sister, honestly married to shipping
clerk whose sziary Is but SIS week, al

necessities of the many" is one OF his
