BELGIUM WAR VIEWS.

War in all the frightful horrors
which Sherman described when he
gave utterance to his famous comment
will be brought to the doors OF Orlean-
ians Sunday, when Edwin F. Weigle's
celebrated moving pictures of the Bel
GUM battles are shown at the Tulane
Theater. Through the Chicago Irl-
bune and the New Orleans Item the
Tulane Theater management has Sc
cured exclusive rights to the presenta-
ton of these wonderful films during
the entire week commencing with a
matinee at 2 o'clock Sunday and at )
o'clock Sunday night.
There will be daily matinee presen-
tations of the wonderful films at o.
clock throughout the week and snow
every night at O'Clock. In order to
bring the views up to the means OF
every woman, man and child in this
city II has been decided to place the
price OF admission at % cents Tor all
parts of the Tulane Theater.
Edwin F. Weigle is a Tribune stan
photographer who was sent to Europe
at the outbreak of the war. he COIL
nected with King Albert's army ana
was allowed to take the pictures Only
after reaching an agreement with the
Belgian government.
The reel starts with panorama oi

The pontoon bridge across the River
Scheldt. across which thousands o.
women and fatherless children crossed
ahead of the German army, is SHOWN
in the picture.
The battles of Termonde, Alost, Ma
lines and Lierre are flashed on th'
screen. The Belgian soldiers al Alos'
are first shown digging trenches IN tn'
beet fields where they later meet tn'
German attack. The firing OF cannon
and the devastating explosions OF lh'

Belgian infantry flashes on the scree'
with terrible reality.
Only the dogs which draw the ma

to realize how terrible is the wal

characters familiar to every man and
woman who goes to the theater. Deal
ing with the increased cost and higher
standard of living, and their effect on
the American home, it also diagnoses
human life in a relentless, searching
way with its lights and shadows, its
humor and its serious aspects.
Touching upon the tentacles OF the
big interests" Fine Feathers shows
how they reach into the American
family and affect the mans method of
industrial attack. There is an absence
of hero, heroine and villain. The play
deals with ordinary human beings, who
are not involved in love story in the
ordinary sense of the word. yet dis
play the truest affection of all-the
love of a husband and wife-that has
to fight selfshness and vanity as well
as the romantic ambitions which come
into all lives.

CRESCENT THEATER.

At the Crescent Theater SUNDAY
night, December 18th, F. 4. Wade will
present for the second time in New
Orleans Eugene Walters most famous
play, Fine Feathers" than which no
drama in recent years has created a
more profound impression among the.
atergoers Of the biggest cities in this
country. This is the first time that
the Walters masterpiece is to be
shown al popular prices.
Fine Feathers" is described as q
drama of today. 1t deals with pro
blems that confront the average Am.
erican household, and is people with
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1914-12-10

MI Walter has based his play on
modern conditions in the home, and in
Ihe world of business; he has endeav.
ored to show the double standards OF
morals existing in modern commerce,
which condone sharp practice in the
ONCE but would not be tolerated in
the drawing room.
Briefly, the story of Fine Feathers"
Is that of young wife living humbly
on her husbands meagre salary, who
lalls under the influence of better
dress and better living. Vexed at the
petty economies their income demands.
and blind TO the principles of business,
she urges her husband to accept a
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1914-12-10

proposition made by an old friend to
lend his services to dishonest deal,
which will turn a modest fortune his
way. The wife is innocent of any
doing in this case, as she is
firmly convinced that the business pro-
posed is above reproach.
The husband, too weak to fight
against his wife's rebellion, finally de
cides to put his hand in the financial
grab+bag and sells his ideals for mess
OF pottage.
The absence of the sex question, OF
the namby- PANTY romance, has given
the author his opportunity to lead deft
ly and unerringly to the great denoue
ment-the gradual reaping OF the
whirlwind at the climax. Perform
ances will be given nightly Throughout
the week with matinees Tuesday
Thursday and Saturday.

Weigle caught the dog battery teams
as they lay in the rear of firing line
resting, after dragging the guns into
Mace. The helplessness of the Bel
gium women and children, as they
crossed the pontoon bridge of the Ri
YER Scheldt into Holland ahead of the
German occupancy of Antwerp. is a
potent argument for the adoption OF
Belgian orphans by Americans.

sufficient seasoning for several flu

all be busy trying to pull the corks

Deadwocd, S. D.--Published ac-
counts of the sensational Confession
OF Emmett; OiGrady, formerly a
prominent Western Federation OF
Miners gunman during the labor
troubles here and now a deputy
sheriff in the Michigan copper coun-
try, regarding his relations with
Meyer, and the other officers Of the
organization during the trouble here,
d~lscloses nothing new to local au-
tlorities. The latter claim TO have
been in full possession OF the facts as
set out. in O'Grady's confession in
which he is alleged to say that Sec
rotary Mills OF Denver, Executive
Member c. 2. Mahoney and w. E.
Tracy, an organizer for the Western
Federation, urged him to deeds OF
violence against the Iiomestake dur
ing the 1909 union fight. lit was in
tended to bring out all these facts
at the trial of John w. Butler, an
~accomplice of O'Grady here in 1909.

O'Grady for their part in throwing

The fire in O'Grady's room in the

Tracy when some of the e.sdope'' was
spilled and ignited materials i'm tho
room, was publicly known at the
time and ever since Tracy's myster-
ious disappearance, following these
disclosures and the confession of
Mrs. O'GYady here which, is we'll re-
'hemhere6, local officials have been
trying to locate Tracy. Federation
officials here at the time have it out
that Tracy had died in, Nevada but
this was later proved a false clue
as he was traced through d%itferenet
mining sections by detectives and
the statement of O'Grady that he is
still a secret deputy Of State Fire
Marshall Grams of Lead, is true. for
O'Grady was employed to learn the
whereabouts of Tracy and others
wanted to explain the attempt to fire
the cyanide plant and the fire in the
Whitaker block. Some of O'Grady's
family still live in Lead and it is as
serted by the local authorities that
practically every portion of O'Grady's
confession relating to the labor
troubles here has been long ago corr
Perforated and they have been pa
tiently waiting for further arrests
in order to use his evidence. O'Grady
has laid his confession in the hands
of Governor Ferris of Michigan and
the local authorities are awaiting
further developments in the case.
