ORGAN RECITALS A
 FEATURE AT FOX'S

In conjunction with the opening of gan today at Foxs, bill of photo plays of the highest order has been arranged. As an added attraction and for the lovers of music a recital will be given both afternoon and evening, and while at the present time the : theater organist will render them, it is the intention of the mana cement to secure some of the most popular organists for these occasions. Re quests for musical selections which the patrons may desire to have played for them, will be welcomed, and the management will be only too willing to cater to those who may send these requests to the theater. Further an- nouncements as to the organ recitals will be made later, and Fox patrons will do we'll to watch the columns of this paper for future information.
 The big feature production for to- day and tomorrow is Alfred Sutro's play of modern society, The Walls of Jerricho," picturized from the James K. Hackett success produced at the Hackett theater, New York. The story is modernization and a practical application of the Biblical story When the Priests blew their trumpets, the walls of Jericho fell down flat This masterpiece of dra- matic literature is a powerful screen vehicle for Edmund Breese, lately starred on Broadway in The Master Mind" and remembered as the orig inal John Ryder in The Lion and the Mousse In the Walls of Jer- richo" as Jack Frobisher, the rich Australian sheep raiser who marries a noblewoman, he cries tearing down the walls obscuring his wife's heart and soul. I've been poor, foolish Jack who didn't play cards or waltz
 But the first flop who came along

He thought it right that you should lose hundreds at cards and spend a fortune on dress. Your brother seduces a girl-you are in dignant with me because I befriend her.

This de- scribes only one scene of this dra- matic masterpiece, and through the pable handling of the stellar part by MT. Breese supported by such pop u1ar screen favorites as Claire Whit 1 ney and Stuart Holmes, the produc- 1 tion must be an excellent one. The 1 Pathe Weekly, depicting the latest l war news, and other important hap i penings the world over. and Mary Pickford, are also offered on today's l program.

CANTINIEREs TO BE BARRED
Canteen Women Who Played Heroic
Parts in Past Ages Dropped
From French Army.

Paris, March 16.-The picturesque
cantinieres, or women who take charge

to share the dangers of active SER
vice with the troops, according to the
minister of war.
The women, one of whom is com.
missioned to each battalion of infan-
try, regiment of cavalry or battery of
artillery, in future are to be retained
only in times of peace.
Formerly the women, wearing the
uniform of their branch of the SER
vice, marched into battle with the
troops, serving often as nurses, or
carrying soothing drinks to the wound.
ed. They were the wives of non-com-
missioned officers, or musicians, and if
their husbands died or were killed
usually married comrade. Otherwis
they could not remain in the service.
The minister of war now has de-
cided that the women are a tax on
the food supply of the army and inter
fere with the rapid movement of troops
marching to the front after mobiliza-
ton. He says, too, they are source
of distraction to the soldiers, whose
courage they weaken.
