ODEON

A picture solution of the
mystery OF the so-called Ritual muir
der" case, in which the Russian Jew
Mendel Bells figured as tho victim
of a religious conspiracy. is the
feature at the Odeon Theatre this
week. This Is the first exhibition Of
the film in this country.
THE Mystery of the Mendel Bells
Ritual Murder Case" Is q six-reel
production, and a most dramatic con-
ception of the events surrounding the
case which recently stirred the world
against the prejudices of Russia.
The play is preceded by an afii-
davit by the former chief of the
secret police of Kieff, Russia, Nicolay
KrassofslSy, to the effect that the
exhibition is true to the minutest de-
detail. Krassofslys connection with
the case and his stand In defense of
the accused Bells led to his subse-
quent resignation from the Russian
service.
According to this dramatized YER
sion of the case the death of An
driusha Yuschinsky, the young boy
for whose death Bells languished in
Jail for two years while waiting fo5'
his trial, was caused by q gang of
thieves. led by . woman. who were in
fear that he would inform the police
or their uolnRS. DnOer the direction
of the woman leader. Vera Cheberiak,
members Of this gang murder the
boy at her home and then hide the
body in a cave.
Several days later the body is
found, and the fanaticai Russian
peasants Immediately associate the
death of the boy with ritual MUIR
der, the age-worn accusation that
Jews make use of the blood of Chris
tian babies in preparing their food
for Passover. This charge is seized
upon as an excuse for agitation
against the Jews In Russia.
In spite of the disclosures resulting
from Krassofsky's investiga tions,
the authorities cling to the theory
that the boy was murdered for ritual
purposes, and Mendel Bells, a poor
Waterman, is picked upon as the per-
petrator of the crime. But the case
against him Is so weak that the jury
is forced to acquit him.

KEENEYS

"Billy's Tombstones, corking
red-hot ''comedyett." heads we'll
balanced bill at keeney's Theatre for
the first three days of this week.
The skit might be well termed From
the Gridirou to the Fire" IT is "a
playlet adapted from the Messrs.
Shubert's comedy, billy" 1t is
based on the ''misfortunes" q foot
ball hero encounters, which are eX-
tremely ludlcrous TO everyone but
himself. The skit is clever one
and Is we'll presented by the Edgar
Atchinson Ely company.
Then there's another gloom chaser
on the bill-Four Flying Dunvettis.
They're some flyers and mixed in
with their aerial stunts they run q
clever line of new comedy. It's a
different act that met a hearty well
come last night.
Jackson and Harrison are pair
of eccentric dancers with a good line
of comedy and some clever parodies.
Gates and Fisher proved last night
that they are masters in the Juggling
art.
All four of these acts are big time"
ones and reflect much credit on the
management of the theatre. The
pictures last night were especially
interesting, with few comedies in
terspersed between the series reels.
For the last three days of the week
an interesting bin has also been ar
ranged, composed of several big
time acts"

PROCTOR'S

In a well staged dancing act Edwin
Ford and company are the headliners
at Proctor's Park Place Theatre for
the first three days of this week. The
number is replete with clever exhibit
tons of the terpsichorean art. by MIR.
Ford himself, by his four pretty as
sistants, and by the company as a
whole In keeping with the dancing
is the scenery. Four scenes are
shown Brighton Beach by night, the
Battery. New York a Quaker viii
lage and the dancing carnival
In the dancing carnival Miss
Florence Reid dances tae sailor horn
pipe. Miss Lottie Ford and Miss Pearl
Washburn do a buck solo, and Miss
Effie Avis executes a highland fling
The latter number and that by Miss
Reid We're the best received, with the
exception of MIR. Ford's modern
wooden shoe dance. The act Is of
such merit that it seems unjust to
allow it only three days run here.
Sharing popularity With the head
liner 1t would seem is the act Of
Caroline Franklin-William Wilson
and company. Their sketch, The
Plot That Failed" is interesting and
mirth provoking. The story is of a
lovesick college youth who is about
t. elope with "A business mans Wife
The youth is discovered and then the
complications begin. From this point
on the audience is kept on edge.
A little act, entitled Just Married"
made big hit last night. Jenkins
and Covert, the two players. depict
with great deal Of truth, although
in a funny way, the tribulations of
married life just after the honey
moon. The comedy is not of the
boisterous, horse play kind. but is
quiet and reaned-it just tlckles YOU
ali over.
Yvonne, an accomplished accordion
player, and Ben Bernard, who sings
little opera ana n little mott opera,
also have acts that are well received.
The Metropolitan Quartet. in New
Years Eve at the Club" have q
vehicle that needs little bolstering.
Dalbeanie and company, Japanese
novelty equilibrists, are mediocre.
Hayes and APPOINT haYe-well, leave
ii unsaid.
Besides the regular vaudeville pro-
gram motion pictures are shown at
Proctor's performances. which are
continuous, beginning at o'clock in
the afternoon and lasting till IL
O'Clock at night. On account Of the
long vaudeville program the pictures
are not numerous, but the few are
top notchers.

NAPOLEONS CAREER IN
MOVIES" AT SHUBERT'S

white graves dotting the plain as far
as the eye can carry in one scene
Not all the pictures are devoted to
the battles of Napoleon. To start
with the scene of his birth in Ajaccio,
Corsica, is shown, and next his meet
ing with Josephine de Beauharnais
and the mutual falling in love of this
pair. His marriage to Josephine on
March 9, 1896 is shown in all the
wealth of kingly splendor that marked
the real marriage. as is the corona.
ton of Napoleon as emperor OF
France History tells us that as Pope
Plus reached up to place the crown
on Napoleon's head, Napoleon himself
grabbed the crown from the Pope and
placed 1t on his own head. The pic
ture wildly shows this detail. as a
later one does the pretty little tale
that is told OF Napoleon finding a
worn-out sentry asleep on his post,
just before the battle of Austerlitz,
when Napoleon takes the soldiers
musl1et and stands guard for him..
Another interesting side of his lifs
Is shown when he forces Josephine to
agree to a divorce on September 10.
1909. After the divorce papers have
been signed, he sends for Josephine
and an affecting love scene takes place
between the emperor and the empress,
who has been put aside SO Napoleon
can wed Marie Louise of Austria, in
hopes of obtaining an heir to his
throne.
A pretS@ picture Is that Just after
the birth of his son when Napoleon
proudly carries the babe in hks%rms
into the big salon at Fountf inebleai
and has his ministers and hmarshals
honor him. Napoleon then fakes tho
tot to the window and shows him to
the waiting multitude outBide.
Napoleon's exile to the island of st
Helena is shown, as are also the petty
annoyances he is said to have been
forced to put up with by his English
jailers on the island. The pictures
end with the deathbed scene at st.
Helena on May 5, 1921, and picture
of the tomb OF Napoleon, the Palace
des Inyalides, Paris.
The actors in the films are French,
| Napoleon being impersonated by M.
Charley, a noted French actor. NJ.
Charley displays all the well-known
mannerisms of Napoleon. such as
sticking his thumb and first finger In
| the opening In his waistcoat and the
| impatient and nervous clasping of his
hands behind his back.
THE Rise and Fall of Napoleon
as shown on the films at the Shubert
| Theatre is both interesting and ed
ucational, and all persons Interested
| In the story of one of the most Won
derflll personages I'm history should
sec it. The films are splendid works
of the moving picture art, and bring
home to you the life and story of the
great emperor far more wildly than
any written history of his life can.

IULU'S HUSBANDS AT

goes through ceremony with the
palp.tating Brown, with her husband
serving as best man. There Is an
awful moment when he demands TO
kiss the bride, and asks her 10 raise
her veil, but Marguerite escapes, and
then Lulu appears once more, pre-
tending that she wac the bride all
the time and begging the nattered
Morrison to carry her away from the
dreaded Brown. All of which forms
about as lively a first act as could
be imagined.
Act Two finds everybody IN the Nor
rison home, doing his best to keep
everybody else from knowing he is
there. Marguerite and her husband
smile blandly at each other, keeping
their dread secrets hidden. Lulu is i'm

By DUKE WELLINGTON

Napoleon ana the Duke OF w cling
ton fought again the battle of Water
loo last night. But this time the
death struggle of June Is. 1915. that
resulted in the final downfall of the
great French emperor. was not fought
ON the plains of Belgium, but was
shown IN picture form at the Shubert
Theatre
But so realistic are the pictures
that 1t was impossible to believe that
one was not actually present at the
CORY field of Waterloo and watching
the gigantic struggle between the
army of Napoleon and the combined
forces of England under the Duke
of Wellington and OF Prussia under
Butcher, against him.
Every scene that history has made
famous IN that wonderful struggle
WAS faithfully portrayed by the films
and SO splendidly real were they that
you caught yourself at times wonder
ing why you did not hear the can
mons roar, the rattle of the small
arms and the clatter of the horses
hoofs as troop after troop of cavalry
dashed madly across the canvas
screen.
The film is historically correct. II
shows first the French troops gain
ing the advantage In the battle with
the English troops about ready to
break and retreat. Just at that mo-
ment THE two long black lines of
men and horses sweep over a low hill.
The Prussian colors fly gayly to the
breeze as the two lines sweep down
on the unprotected flank of Napo-
Icons tired and Worn-out soldiers.
Butcher has come. The battle is
saved for the allies. and Napoleon
is routed. He is pictured retiring
from tho field with the faithful old
Guard surrounding him and shield
Ing his retreat to a place of safety.
Napoleon and Wellington are both
shown many times in the battle scene
and both are true replicas of the pic
lures eXtant of THE Little Corporal
and THE Iron Duke"
While the battle of Waterloo Is the
big thing of the pictures The Rise
and Fall of Napoleon" they are by
no means the whole show. They take
the greater part of two OF the eight
reels that make up the evenings en-
tertainment. On other reels arc
shown equally vivid pictures of the
battles of Austerlitz, Borodino,
Marengo, Arcola and the burning OF
Moscow.
Napoleon's disastrous retreat from
Moscow In 1912 Is shown with a won
derful fidelity to the tales of that
fatal movement rs told by the his
torians, Thousands and thousands
Of troops mounted and unmounted
are seen marching in disorder across
the snow-coVered plains of Russia
Men fall in their tracks and are
soon covered with winding sheet

Nuns and Priests Applaud
from "Manger to the Cross"

At the Holy Name School Audito-
rum, Amsterdam avenue and Ninety
seventh street, New York, last night,
hundreds OF priests applauded a
pbotoplay entitled From the Manager
TO the Cross" 1t depicts the life OF
Christ. According to Emmett Corri-
gan, who is producing 1t, the Salem
Company, makers of the film, spent
$4,000 to obtain the pictures In the
very places In Palestine and Egypt,
where the Saviour lived, wrought,
preached and died.
During the afternoon nearly five
hundred nuns, who are teachers in
parochial schools, attended. There
also were many Christian Brothers
present at this earlier exhibition.
From the Manager to the Cross"
will be produced at the Newark The
atre next week In New York it will
be exhibited only in Catholic school
halls, at least for the present.

NEWARK

Smashing the Vice Trust" is the
title of a photo drama that is at
tracing hundreds to the Newark The
atre this week. Last night the popu-
lar playhouse was crowded at both
performances. Many expressed them
selves that the motion pictures this
week are about the Very best ever
seen at the local playhouse.
Four performances are given daily,
at ,. 2:30, 7:30 and o'clock.
Ono of the features of the film is
the appearance of District Attorney
Whitman, of New York, as member
of the east. The photo-drama is dl-
vided into six parts. 1t is stated that
more than 500 actors We're used in the
production of the stirring drama.
on the films the subject is treated
in a delicate manner and there is
nothing offensive shown in connection
with the pictures of the vice trust
True, the subject is treated in
broad manner, but as a whole the
pictures can be classed as the clean
est OF any shown in this city in con-
nection with the white slave" prop
osition.
In the photo drama, the spectator
is first introduced TO the system
practised by the trust. For this pur-
pose views are shown of the building
in Allen street, New York city, that
was actually used as the headquarters
of the 'vice trust" before II was
broken up by District Attorney Whit
man.
In the action of the pictures. sew
eral realistic pitched battles between
the police and the vice trust gangs
are shown, large numbers of persons
being used I'm some of these fights.
THE manner in which the trust
members lure young girls from their
homes Is shown In n realistic man
ner. so realistic In fact that it Is hard
to believe that such conditions can
exist in the larger cities of this coun-
try
