THE GRAND

Caprice" featuring Mary Pickford
in the role of Mercy. is the Grand
headline subject. The play opens
with hearty laugh. young hunter
is freed by bear. Mercy appears
and calls off the animal. In the fol-
lowing scenes Jack Darnton, a young
man from the city, accidently shoots
Mercy in the arm. He carries her
home. The friendship begins right
here. There is the dramatic inter-
view of Jacks father, with Mercy in
which he tells the girl her marriage
with his son will ruin the young mans
life. There are the humor and the
pathos of the girls attempt to commit
suicide with a bulletless weapon,
which she conceals from her own
sight as she writes a word OF fare
well. There is the gayety of the
wedding morn. when she loads corn
into the front of her bridal gown and
goes out to feed the chickens: and the
attempted interference of Jacks faith
err.
There are the scenes following the
llsilllitts Nh'h Nnt 10 dSlldIil-
ed of his mountain bride; where in
response to a suggestion of her faith
err, she puts the lamp in the window
as a signal for him to come and get
her. Then. too, there are the many
good situations in the boarding school
the rdicule of her fellow pupils
changed to respect and admiration on
account of her heroic work when the
structure took fire and Mercy carried
down the stairs girl bigger than
herself. In fitting conclusion there
are the rapid alterations of comedy
and pathos in the last part. when the
husband is unable to identify beyond
doubt the little woman i'm finery. but
who. when arrayed in her old-time
mountain garb, is taken to his arms.

BIBLE STORIES
IN The MOVIES
New York Ministers Plan to Form
Picture Company

The church has definitely entered tho
moving picture field. and through the
medium of the church and school So
cial service organization, just formed
il will use moving pictures to teach III
a systematic way the Bible, missions
and great historical events which have
uplfted humanity.
The organizer and president is the
Roy DIR. William Carter, formerly pas
tor of the Madison-ave. Reformed
church. and at present field secretary
of the International peace forum. Doc
tor Carter came to q conception OF the
great scope that moving pictures
should hll in church propaganda after
seeing mediocre pictures of what were
supposed to illustrate the life OF Christ.
The vice president is the Rev. DR..
Charles H. Parkhurst, pastor of the
Madison-sq. Presbyterian church. ;.
< Mcclure. of McClures magazine,
has accepted the secretaryship. The
Henry Clews the treasurership. The
principal aim of the new organization
Is to have moving pictures taken OF
the chief Biblical scenes ut the places
where they are believed to have oc-
Cured Another idea is to send rep
resentatives to the great mission fields
Of the world to take pictures. Doctor
Carter wants to add these modern
film acts in the lives of the great mis-
sionary heroes of history that will in
spire with moral heroism the rising
generation. There also will be pic
lures made to show how the other
half live" with the aim of uplift.
Although there are such pictures al
ready in existence, they have been
made by individuals or single relig-
ious organizations. This is believed
to he the first definite interdenomina-
tional movement.
Speaking of his enterprise, Doctor
Carter said:
This organization is not joined with
commercial interests, but is one of
clcrgymen, educators and social serv-
ice workers. formed for religious and
philanthropic purposes to upllft hui
manity through this popular and wide
spread amusement"

in the Trap Rock valley district will
exceed 1900 cases, compared with
shipments which last year amounted
to as high as LOO cases in one day.
