The evolution of the photoplay, to meet the increasing demands placed upon it by the critical, has been marked and the new standards that have beon reached is brought to mind afresh

It was one of the most striking of the Famous Players productions yet shown here and received favorable comment. Again Ed I. Boyle pleased the houses. first with his excellent singing of The Irish Lullaby and then with the clever Pianalogue. The ad- ventures of the Mutual girl were greet ed with interest. as were the other pictures that filled out the programme.

HUMIDITY DOES IT.
Thursday Was the Hottest Day of the Summer, but Not Because of Ther- mometer,

In spite of the facts that the mer- eury registered only s2 on Thursday and that it went up to 9S in the self same tube only a couple of weeks or so ago. yesterday was the hottest day Of the summer. Att least it's a de- batable question, for by hotness. it seems. the usuaul person means un- comfertableness. And Thursday was uncomfortable. As we have said be- fore, in discussing the weather hum drum topie-it is humidity that does it.

WISCONSIN AND THE
EUROPEAN WAR

Wisconsin more than the average
American State is interested in the
giant war that is being fought in
Europe. More than a third of her
population is either German or of
German extraction, and thousands of
Wisconsin families are represented
by relatives or friends in the fight
ing army of the Kaiser. The story of
how Wisconsin received her German
population is one of much interest.
AS early as 1880, when the reaction
against the liberal movement of
$780, had set in throughout Europe,
disappointed German reformers were
ened territory of Wisconsin. They
represented the flower of German cul
ture and received a ready welcome
in their new homes. The enthusiast
tic letters which they sent to com
patriots at home of the climate and
soil of Wisconsin soon attracted hith-
eT large numbers of others, and by
1847, when Wisconsin was ready to
frame it's constitution, their influ-
ence was strong enough to write in
to the document extremely liberal
provisions regarding franchise rights
of foreign immigrants.
When the Revolution of 184S, the
supreme effort of the German liber-
ais, failed thousands fled in discour-
agement and came to Wisconsin to
build there the home of their ideals.
With them came the brilliant men,
such as Carl Schurz, who were to
lead Wisconsin Germans in the com
ing conflict against slavery. The
tide of immigration reached it's
height in 1854, but large numbers
Of Germans continued to come until
Wisconsin became popularity known
as the distfnctiveIy German state
of the Union, and Milwaukee as
the Berlin of America" An inter
esting account of Wisconsin,s Ger
man element may be found in the
Wisconsin Historical Collections, vol.
xii, pages 299-334.
