FEW CHANGES
Vitagraph and Strand Only
Offer New Bills.

Beginning tomorrow, a new bill Of
feature pictures will be offered at the
Vitagraph Theatre. Instead Of three
medium length films, as at present,
there will be one ive-reel and one
three-reel subject, the latter a comedy.
The compsny's daily releases will be
continued as usual.
The principal number of the pro-
gramme will be MY Official Wife,"
which is an adaptation from the play
Of the same name by Richard Henry
Savage. Clara Kimball Young is feat
ured in this drama. Miss Young is Il
youthful American actress who is one
of the most popular and talented screen
artists in this country. She has shown
a special skill in depicting such parts
as that in which she appears in any

beautiful Russian nihilist, who is in

lief that she is working for the welfare
of her country. She is supported by
an excellent cast, and advance ;ndica-
tons are that this will prove to DE the
best drama yet offered at the Vitagrsph.
A three-part farce called "Uncle Bill"
will be the other feature. The story is
founded on the jealousy of two men
and their wives, and the complications
which result from their feeling. Much
comedy is introduced by Uncle Bits

THE LITTLE GRAY LADY"

Jane Grey very appropriately plays
the title role in the Famous Players
production Of 1.-THE Little Gray Lady"
which is the feature attraction at the
Strand for the week. Charming Pol
locks romance, when originally seen
on the stage. enjoyed much popularity,
and in this new form should prove fully
as entertaining.
The story concerns a government
clerk in Washington who begins
series Of dishonest transactions to CD
tain money to entertain selfish
woman with whom he imsgines himself
to be in love. He is saved by the heroic
sacrifice of another woman who really
loves him, and, seeing his folly. he is
able to return to honest ways and avoid
arrest. Eventually he marrieS the girl
who has been so faithful TO him.
Miss Gray is particularly adapted
for the part she plays, and she blends
good humor and pathos in remarkable
way. She is supported by an excellent
cast.
As usual, the programme will be up
plemented by IA Keystone comedy and
some topical and scientific pictures.

OSCAR IN THE MOVIES
Hammerstein's New Opera
House to Stage Pictures.

According to present plans, August 8
will see an important addition to the
large motion picture theatres of this
city. That is the date set by Oscar
Hammerstein for the opening of his
new opera house in Lexington av., be-
tween 50th and 5lst SITS. Motion pict-
ures will be the principal attraction for
an indefinite period in this latest large
theatre.
Mr.. Hammerstein's original inten-
tons, az he announced them at the
time, were to present grand opera in
English at the new house. The Metro
politan Opera Company brought suit to
prevent this and were sustained by the
court because of a contract signed by the
impressrio in 1910, In which he agreed
not to produce grand opera in any of
the large cities of this country for ten
years. The suit has been appealed.
Meantime, the entertainment will con-
sist OF motion pictures interspersed
with scenes and excerpts from grand
operas. The type of films that will be
shown has not been definitely decided
yet, but they will probably be of the
feature variety, to be shown for u week
OF more at time.
The opera house represents an outlay
Of more than Sl,500,00O. 1t has u seat
ing capacity of three thousand. and in
addition TO the main auditorium con-
tains three halls, each 100 feet long. a
ripe organ will be part OF the equip
ment. while a large organ and mum
Der Of prominent singers will help with
the musical part of the entertainment.
a large part OF the equipment for the
stage was brought over by Mr.. Ham
merstein from his unsuccessful London
opera house.

THE. SNAKE CAME BACK
Poison Fang Prefers Studio
Prison to Freedom of
New Rochelle.

Here is the first wriggle: On May
%, The Tribune, with many misgiv-
ings as 10 the truth OF the story, re-
ported that Poison Fang, the Mutual
snake, had disappeared and that the
residents of Westchester County con-
sequentIy were much disturbed. The
event-when corpulent boa constric-
tor disappears 1t is an event was re-
corded in the following guarded lam
guagc:

constructor, said TO be eight feet long,
is missing from the building Of a con

been true. We visited the Mutual

There is no doubt that it is the
same snake, because when il returned
it still wore at thv end OF its tail the
plain gold ring which Lila Chester. a
Mutual Movie star. had put there
when Poison Fang was but AN infant
prodigy. Like Marys little lamb,
Poison Fang came home wagging It's

of that corporation in any capacity. lie

as lying and mendacious.
Twenty-Five communications from
humane and other social welfare .socie-
ties and individuals protesting against
imposing cruelties on animals in the
production of film plays were reported
by Secretary Wiley and referred to the
resolutions committee for cOnsidera-
tion and a possible sympathetic ex-
preston.
The overtures for peace between the
hostile organizations came very APP
propriately from the younger body. AT
its convention held in New York dur
ing the early part Of June IL was voted
to send committee to Dayton 10 pro-
mote peace This committee was
headed by Sam Bullock. of Cleveland,
the man who drafted the anti censor
ship resolution at the New York ses-
sion. Naturally the two associations
cannot be reunited in a minute, but
union viii take place as soon as 1t
caa reasonably be accomplished.
In the matter Of censorship the Day
ton convention showed it's complete
sympathy with the one held III New
York. The Tribune printed the full
text Of the resolution adopted at that
time indorsing the fine work OF the
National Board Of Censorship, and con
demning attempts TO create any sort Of
local censoring bodies. The stand OF
the Dayton gathering was practically
identical. Further sympathy OF feeling
was shown by the resolution urging
exhibitors TO arrange for shorter pro
grammes and 10 charge admissions of
At least 10 cents at all times.
The worst danger which threatens
motion pictures to-day Is the attempt
70 exploit the industry for the benefit
OF political grafters through the me-
dum Of sO-cslled censoriug bodies.
The firm stand which the trade Is TAX
ing against this was shown by the
tact that MIR. Nef WAS forced from

When she screamed, however, Poison

quietly disappeared.
For several weeks the New Rochelle

daily bulletins informing their readers
Of Poison Fang's disappearance and

easier. Children who refused to play
in the long grass have resumed their

"MANON" Is POPULAR.

The Playgoers Film Company's ex-
cellent motion picture production Of
"Manon Lescaut" continues its run at
the Republic Theatre. where it has now
been on exhibition for little more
than a month. Able Prevost's story,
although il contains very little action,
is we'll adapted TO screen portrayal il
properly staged and acted. With Lima
Cavslieri in the title role, the latter is
well taken care of. as she handles the
part with the same skill which made IL
her most famous one on the stage. Her
husband supports her eXcellently in the
role of Greux.
The settings of the play are also we'll
handled, and realism is obtained by the
fact that the eXteriors were made in
France and New Orleans.
