may have his own stamping machine
Just as easily as he has a gas meter

where this device is already in actual

postal authorities and an authorized
collector calls at intervals and takes
the pay for the amount registered ON

The machine now i'm use gives
stamped impressions of "A half penny,

 While perhaps you have seen un derworld pictures before, 1t is safe tc say that they were mostly nauseat ing. The depicting of crime is neces sary in a good many dramas, but deli cate taste must be exercised in this respect, else the sensfbilities of some are going to be offended. The present drama has been made by one who is thoroughly conversant with his sub ject. There is a culminative plot swift action, stirring incidents and tense climaxes, all of which is sub- merged in the impressive moral les son which teaches that crime and un. clean life never thas paid and never will The scenes are mostly of a most spectacular kind as to their settings and the number of people used, and the Universal Company feels sure that in giving out this underworld pie ture a great amount of good is 10 bs accomplished.
