 DANCE UPSIDE DOWN

Dancing upside down is one cf and Tingley, pair Of clever enter tainers. making a strong bid for favor with the patrons of Keeney's theater this week. The young men Go some very classy dancing, sing several intricate numbers that arc new to local theatergoers. They keep splendid time and work upside down. getting through some difficult steps while suspended in the air, their feet reaching a platform on special appar- atus. They have a good act and the audience seems to Nike it.

Miss Edith Story. who ,portrays Viola Aliens part of Glory Quayle, has much to say rel ative to the values of acting in the drama and the pictures According to Miss Storey, playing such a part as Glory Quayle in pictures is infinitely harder than doing the same thing in drama. Miss Storey's contention is that the photo-play actress is de- prived of the power of speech, and anyone who stops for a moment to consider will realize what difficulty they would have if they. were asked to convey all of their meetings with out using a word. Miss Story has re- duccd facial expression and gestures to such a science that it is possible for her to carry on a conversation with another. convey all her meanings, and not make a sound. running tho full gamut of feeling.

EARLE WILLIAMS

Earle Williams of the Vitagraph players certainly can be considered the Beau Brunnel of the screen, for 1t Is considered beyond question that he is the best dressed and handsomest man now appearing before the camera. As John Storm, in The Christian" which will be played at Foxs this Friday, Saturday and Sum day. his Adonis-like attributes were rudely shaken. Tn one scene in which he is supposed to have been the cause of melting panic and riots in the slums Of London, a mob of 5000 bowling, shrieking, panic-stricken men, wom- en and children were thrown against him. When Mr. Williams was a youngster at college he was a football enthusiast, but never. in the toughest scrimmage of all did he receive such treatment as was accorded him by those 5000 extra people employed in making the film. With them he fought like one possessed. as can be seen by his performance in The Christian" When it was all over he was bruised from head to foot. A

 Works Eighteen Hours a Day. My hours now are from three in the morning until nine. But there were times when I did just what heaps of other of us women do. when I'd work from ten at night until eight in the morning and then go home and

DIVERSE BILL
 OFFERED AT FOX'S

With the latest chapter of The Exploits of Elaine" that fascinating serial and Valli Valli, the exquisite musical comedy star in The High Road" a. most splendid bill of di- verlsement is offered at Fox's today and tomorrow. Although the story of the play is very we'll known, in brief the synopsis is as follows: Mary Page, after having lived for some time with Allen Wilson as his mis- tress, suddenly realizes the offense she Is committing against society, de- cidcs to leave him. She writes him a letter telling him of her intentions but he returns before she can, put her plans into action. While Wilson Is unpacking his bags, wine is served but Mary refuses to drink any. MT. Maddox who has accompanied Wilson to his home. upraids her for what he considers here parade of virtue. and Mary slaps his face. Maddox then leaves the house. Mary then tells Wilson she is going to leave him and he, for the first time. realizing that he really loves her, tries to dis suade her but finally being convinced of her sincerity he allows her to de- part. Mary secures q position in a
 
 the one owned by Maddox. Wilson l learns of Mary's whereabouts and visits her. hoping to induce her to return but she firmly refuses. Mad 1 dox endeavoring to reduce expenses l cuts the girls wages twenty per cent, and Mary, assuming the leadership, approaches Manager Cochran and 1 threatens a strike. Cochran then ar ranges fake riot to discourage the 1 girls After the riot, Cochran en- 1 gagcs number of thugs to intimdate the girls and when the police arrive, l the thugs attack them, thus creating l the impression that the girls are an- l archists. The plans work all right until one of the thugs shoots a po- ] liceman and IS captured by Mary, who 1 coura geously holds him until the po- lice arrive At the stationhouse the l thug confcsses that Cochran hired him to do the shooting. The next ! day Mary visits the mayor of the :, town to plead with him in behalf of tho girls. Maddox learning of the mayors sympathy for the girls re
 establishes the former wage scale, and
 tho girls return to work. That night
 tremendous fire breaks out in the factory with tragic results but the } story ends happily with the joining of the mayor and Mary Page.

(By Doris E. F'leischman in
 York Tribune.)


 What is woman's status in war? And what Is her attitude? Poets have sung of the glory, the tragedy and the sordidness of the role which they play. Historians have conceded that they "wcpt." Statesmen have ignored them. But modern close ness to he reality of the situation has given us affirmation--that it is wom- an who bears tho brunt Of all the evil that lies in the system. Some there arc who contend that womans lot is so difficult because she must wait, holding that tortures ] of the imagination far exceed the re- alities. ThaN declare that women must take united action in compell- ing the establishment of peace. And the strongest weapon which woman holds in her hand for the enforcement I of what she wants is her refusal to bear babies which shall be slaugh- l tered in battle like their forebears,' 1 said Rabbi Stephen $. Wise.
 But through his testimony that there is no physical reason for wom- ans inability to bear arms, Dr. Dud- l ley A. Sargent gives aid to that sec tion of women who want to bear arms --or rather wish it for the class which makes the cannon food.'
 Mrs. Dunn Good Representative.
 A good representative of the t'can- l non food class is Mrs. Bridget Dunn, 1 who is in New York to attend the !, convention of the National Women s l Trade Union league. Mrs. Bridget Dunn is the president of the Office Building Cleaners union Of Boston, ] and as such is best acquainted with the type of woman that is now bear ing the biggest share of the pain pro duced by the war in Europe. The work of the scrubwoman is compar- able to most of the severe physical labor carried on in the world.
 ''Scrubbing is hard work, said Mrs Dunn, in her soft, quiet voice; but if is hard work that makes happiness and makes for health, too And both are evident in her face which shows few wrinkles, a good complexion and the calmest pair of blue eyes that ever faved trouble in undismayeo courage People have asked me ho" keep so cheerful with all my trou' bles.

 Idea is Silly.
 What. do you think of pr. Wise's

 to bear babies unless they are assured that they will not be butchered in war;" I asked Mrs Dunn. '1 think that is silly" she said quietly. Tt would not do them g. bit of good to try. If every one did 1 1T the world would come 10 an end. wouldn't it? and that was never meant ! to be. But look at it the other way and you'll see that all women wouldn't ! refuse.

 1t. But l say that silly threats and lack of patriotism are not the things

 she has the courage to bear with the
