inventor of smokeless powder and an
upon the equipment of most
of the great Powers, the length of the
present struggle will be determined not
by the loss of life but by the exhaus-
tive cost of the operations and the am

debtedness of less than $40, when in
New York, Boston, Cincinnati, Los An
geles, New Orleans, Omaha, Tacoma,
Portland, Me-; Atlantic City and Gal
weston, the per capita indebtedness ex-
ceeds 800.

Bdrrie'S Plays With
Mdude Adams AS
Star Will Be
Filmed

Among the several important
lhings that are to be done by
ohotoplay producers this season
here are few more important to
he amusement seeking public than
he forthcoming productions of the
plays OF Sir James NJ. Barrie with
.iaude Adams as star. No definite

these plays is to commence. The
gnly thing that has been announc-
ID is that the first of them will be

which Miss Adams first appeared
IS a stage star. The star is now
New York and expects to go out
70 the Pacific coast during the pres
mt season, as she has theatrical
Engagements to fill in San Fran
cisco during the Pan-American ex-
rosition. 1t may be that the first
the plays will be started before
he leaves the East. And it may be
hat the producers will wait until
she reaches the Pacific coast and
make the pictures there in that
wonderful motion picture paradise.
But the pictures will be produced
and on his recent visit to New
GoTk the author completed all ar
rangements for the preparation Of
the film versions. The Famous
Players Company will be the pro-
@ucers and the scenarios. it is un-
oerstood, are to be prepared under
Barrie's own direction.
The visit of the noted English
playwright and novelist to New
York brought out the fact that he
is one of the firmest believers in
the motion picture as a form of
musement and that he has very
carefully measured their value as
an adjunct to the stage His views
IN the subject. announced just
after he had watched the making

hat while no words are audible, the
action in which the players are con-
