Do you take morphine with your meals?
Then, by all means, go TO see Dope.
For six full reels of film It will show you
the methods of drug taking which are at
present meeting with approval In our
most fashionable circles. The Binkly-
Rogers family are decidedly high life peo-
pie-the sort whose butler wears velvet
Enee breeches-but they hardly seem nice
folks, for several members of the family
are under the influence of morphine most
OF the time and intoxicated the rest How
ever, their condition IS merely just retri-
button, because Rogers and his son-in-
law, Binkly, are partners i'm a wholesale
drug concern that sells assorted kinds Of

lily use the firms brands. Reformers had
long sought to induce the partners TO stop
the sale Of drugs which were wrecking
others homes. but they haughtily re-
fused, little suspecting that the stuff was
getting members of their own family.
Dope purports to teach the terrible evil
of the drug habit, but it exaggerates con
ditions so much that it is sensational and
unconvincing. 1t was made Dy the Than

COMING FEATURES
p.t &C Mt;ne Reel Pictures Comes from Denmark, Viii
Two Others of Much Merit Were
Made in Italy.

The film manufacturers OF the United
states lead the world in some things-for
instance. in the speed with which they
turn out plays-but. unfortunately TINS IS
not always conducive to quality. over In
quiet little Denmark there is motlon
picture company known as the "Dansk
Biograph." When these Danes n axe a
feature picture, do they rush 1t through!
Most decidedly they do not. Recently
n ey completed a six-ree picture, called
Sealed ORDERS" which required year
TO prepare. Three months were spent in
putting the scenario into shape and nine
in staging it. But before you smile see
the picture If there has even been a
moving picture made in this country
which is its equal we would be glad to
see it, FOR IL would be new to us.
Sealed orders" was brought TO this
country by H. Wink, of London, and was
given a private showing Thursday even
ing. The best news about it is that II Will

theatre for the benefit of the general pub
lie It is a picture which in every way
, represents the best things in the motion
picture art.
The story is melodrama of the finest
tyre. it may not be the top notch Of
dramatic art, but it is a wholesome. hu-
man tale, which includes every element
that appeals There is action, suspense.
surprise and sentiment of several kinds.
Furthermore. there is hawless acting and
Photographic effects that seem positively
incredible. This latter feature contributes
much to the interest OF the film. The
lighting effects and settings are so beau
tiful that the production would be worth
seeing if there was no story to hold the
attention
The plot Of Sealed orders" has to do
with a war between two European coun-
tries. Lieutenant van Houten Is involved
in seeming treachery, which leads 10 a
sentence of death at the direction Of his
father, who is the chief admiral of the
navy, but who holds his duty 20 his coun-
try greater than parental affection. OF
course, the lieutenant is saved. but this
does not indicate that the story is hack
Keyed. on the contrary, ii is crowded
with interesting situations, and many of
the events show a most remarkable in
genuity and a welcome departure from
the conventional.

Within a few DAYS Broadway vl3l be

that may seem. The coming novelty Is
the Warner feature picture "Zingo,"

Broadway run Il will be cut to ten parts,
but this will be out longer than any
picture yet produced here. outside Of
this city it viii be exhibited in four parts
of three reels each.
"Zingo" was made in Italy by the AM

"THE CHRISTIAN" IN FILMS
Hall Gaines Story Opens at
Manhattan To- morrow.

The first of the pictures TO be produced
by the recent alliance OF the Liebler COM
pany with the Vitagraph Company will
be seen tomorrow, when Hall Gaines
"The Christian" will start an indefinite
engagement at the Manhattan opera
House.
The Lieber version of the great novel
is in eight parts. The emotional nature
of the story makes it one requiring re-
markabe degree OF skill if a good picture
is To result, but the cast has been well
selected. and judging by their work in
other pictures. are amply fitted for their
parts.
Edith Storey. who is one Of the greatest
emotional actresses now appearing on the
screen, has the role of Glory Quayle, and
advance reports indicate that she has
achieved much in the part
Earle Williams will appear as John
Storm. and the rest Of the cast is made
up of PLAYERS well adapted for their parts.
As a play "The Christian" toured the
country for eight years, which is proof
enough of it's tremendous appeal. The
picture has been months in the making,
and over 5000 persons appear in some OF
the scenes.

From the wagon show Miss Lawrence
graduated summa cum laude into leGlu-

had been on the chariot's route were maue
sad. But this field was too limited ior
her as was any other place on the regular
stage. Her inimitable ability in the silent
part of acting marked her for motloh
pictures, and it is this ability which IS
really the greatest Of dramatic talents.

MISS LAWRENCE TALKS

Romance and success are found asso-
ciated all too rarely in this age of combi-
nations in restraint of trade, but perhaps
they have never been more remarkably
united than in Florence Lawrence, lead
ing lady of Universal Victor films. There
is probably not a woman in the amuse-
ment field who is more widely known
than Miss Lawrence. True, her name
may not blaze in electric lights on Broad
way, but she is so familiar figure as to
seem a warm friend TO thousands Of per-
sons who have never heard the name Of
the Rialto's most dazzling star.
II was a realization of this that prompt
ed us TO be prepared for a naughty de-
meanor, but that preparation belongs in
the class of wasted effort. You know how
she is in the pictures. so out-and-out at
tractive and human that you just natu-
rally call her Flo. Well, that's the way she
is in real life, and what makes it much
more to her credit is that she owes this
charm entirely to herself Several years
ago, when she was appearing in Lubin
films, Miss Lawrence had complete
nervous breakdown, but she has recovered
entirely by practicing conservation of en-
ergy.
But we are getting ahead of our story.

JOAN OF ARC"

plished in Joan of Arc, the Maid of Or
leans" five-reel motion picture
True, Joan of Arc is a character of in
finite appeal, but this hnders rather than
helps any one who would portray her life
in motion pictures. The facts Of her ca
reer are so we'll known that any depart
ure from them for the sake of greater
ease in staging would destroy the effect
Also, her memory is regarded with such
sympathy that an improper atmosphere

have regarded these facts. and the result
is a picture which is in every way a sue
cess. The known events in the life of
the peasant girl of Domremy have been
carefully followed and doubtful points
have been sensibly treated.
The completeness with which the at
mosphere of the early fifteenth century
has been attained is delightful. The film
has that rare and intangible quality
which makes the spectator feel as II he
were one of the characters and was
actually taking part in the action Frank
ly, we cannot imagine any one who would
not like II.
The production shows the life OF Joan
from the time when she first hears the
"Voices" and sees the vision of CT
Michael. until she is burned at the stake
in Rouen. and the cruel English realize
too late that they have burned saint.

phenomenal that it does not seem phe-

II was some years ago that Miss Law
renee started appearing in pictures, and
the Biograph company was the first stu

reputation was won b. her remarkably
clever comedy acting; but attractive as
she was in that field. it was in serious
endeavor that she achieved her greatest
success. She is now appearing in the sort
of motion picture plays that are more
than a few minutes entertainment. They
are not sermons or so-called problem
dramas, but vital, appealing stories Of
life

that by teaching herself. and she has a
