John Barrymore IN the photoplay that
has been made from Leo Ditrichstcin's
farce, Are You a Mason?' created as
much laughter at Moore's Strand The

COSMOS.

One OF the best rustic comedies of the
season is being presented at the Co.'S
mos Theater this week by Stephens and
Bordeaux. 1t is unlike the average
rural comedy in that it introduces a
number of latter day topics in the dia-
logue.

spectacular Offering which presents a
human butterfly with gaudy wings of
everchanging colors soaring above the

B. F. KEITH'S.

If vaudeville must be defined as a
form of amusement designed to please
each of the varied constituents of its
audience by at least one or two features
of the program, this week offering at
the r. +. Keith Theater is an unusually
good illustration of the word. To en-
ploy the vernacular of the hour, if ordi-
nary vaudeville is the shrapnel of the
army of entertainment, the current
weeks bill is of a forty-two centimeter
type. 1t scatters its interest over wide
area.
Oryillc Harold, the American tenor,
more than justified the praise that has
been heaped upon him in Europe and In
his brief appearances in this country;
lie has a voice of great volume and
giving full value to the dramatic com
positions that demand resonance and
intensity of vocal feeling and at the
same time is able TO provide that eX-
quisite ftpeness demanded in the inter-
probation of purely lyric numbers.
Beatrice Hereford, the second big
feature on the bill only because she
came after Mr.. Harold, presents new
type of monologue to vaudeville, tho
parlor entertainer type who demands .
larger stage. There are so few pariot
entertainers who can adequately fihl 0
parlor with real amusement that Mind
IIereford's qualifications are unusual 70
begin with. That she completely fills
the tnealer Is the very DeSl tribute 10
her art in handling the difficult job she
has cut out for herself.

son and company, Poor Old JIM" is a
new idea The hero is a young married
man who is too fond of the club. on
returning home one evening with con-
siderable excess baggage he is made to

Plays and Players at Capital
Theaters This Week
COLUMBIA.

The wonderful photoplay allegory,
"Hypocrites," is presented again at tho
Columbia Theater this week. The story
of how nude Truth holds UP her mirror
to the world, showing its hollow puri-
tanism to be mere mockery, is beautiful
ly portrayed.
'Hypocrites' is one of the plays that
>one thinks about the next day, and finds
pleasure In the recollection. 1t reminds
one somewhat of the Return of Peter
Grimm with a touch of Pygmalion
and Galatea," fused and presented on
the screen.
Aside from the story of the film, 1t is
wonderful from the standpoint of
mechanical production, the nude figure
of Truth, elusively visible, seemingly
transparent, yet real and animated, being
presented in n, manner that marks an
epoch in photoplay production.

A new departure for an Eastern rail.
road is the installation by the Sea-
board Air Line railway of reclining
chairs in it's day coaches. The first

sengers and has a high back, which
may be arranged at any angle TO suit
the passenger convenience. One MAY
sleep almost as comfortably In one OF
these chairs, 1t is stated, as in a Pun,

The reclining chair was first used bS
the Illinois Central railroad several
years ago and has since been adopted
by many of. the Western roads Th5

A DRY GREAT BRITAIN

The proposal of Mr.. Lloyd George,
chancellor of the exchequer, that it
may become necessary absolutely to
prohibit the sale of intoxicants
throughout the United Kingdom dur
ing. the war, is not nearly so start
ling as it would have been a few
years ago. Nowhere in the indus
trial world has there been such keen
appreciation of the inefficiency re-
sulting from excessive drinking, as
in England. But in England there
has not been any such general prac-
tical effort to check the evil as has
been undertaken by big employing
concerns in the United States. Rail-
roads and many other big organiza-
tions Of employing interest have for
long time been enforcing more and
more rigid rules, in this country,
against the use of liquor. First there
was the insistence that men must
not drink while on duty; then that
they must not drink at all. Thus
industry has been the first assistant
to the anti-liquor agitation.
In England the question in time
of peace had merely to do with the
poverty resulting from drink and
idleness. But in time Of war it has
become very different. 1t is a prob
lem of national capacity to protect
the national existence. A battleship,
injured, came into port for repairs,
which were needed instantly. An
entire day was lost before the work
could be begun, because the riveters
were away carousing. 1t is report
ed that at important shipbuilding
centers some classes of the skilled
workmen have been working only
thirty-six and forty hours a week
and drink is blamed.
Such a crisis as comes with a
great war compels a new attention
to these things; and Mr.. Lloyd.
George now goes the full length
that has been suggested heretofore
he might go, in declaring that he
had been about convinced that ex.
treme methods must be adopted tc
deal with the situation. Extreme
methods, with him, meant the abso
lutte forbidding of the liquor traffic
during the war, as Russia has for
bidden it.
The exigencies of war put sucl
business in very different light. II
peace, it might and would be urgec
that cessation of the whole traffic
manufacture and sale-would throw
an army of people out of employ
ment; brewers, distillers, public
house keepers, truckers, and tn
rest. Likewise it would destroy tn
producing capacity of a great in
vestment of capital.
But in war the prospect of a grea
number of men out of employment
has no horrors; they can be enliste
in the army, which needs them; thei
enlistment might postpone for
while the necessity for a policy o
conscription. They will not be lef
unemployed for long. If they don
enlist voluntarily, the governmen
will find means to force them, jus
as the draft in this country force
them into the ranks during the civ
war.
Two years of Russia dry an
Great Britain dry, as an incident t
the war, would make bigger change
% the world than any marc shift

DEALERS INDICTED
BY FEDERAL GRAND JURY
On Charge of Using the Mails to De-
ud-Misrepresented Goods.

New York, Oct. 27-Three officers
and eight statesmen of two whiskey
concerns were indicted by federal
grand jury here today on a charge Of
using the mails to defraud. About
$500, 900 is said by the authorities to
have been obtained by the defendants
since 1907 through the sale Of cheap
whiskey on the representation that it
was high grade and by the manipula-
ton of notes given them by liquor
dealers.
All of the officers. Adolph. Felix and
Leonard Prince, were released on
bonds. The bond of Felix Prince is
$1,000 and the bonds of the other
Princes $4,000 each The eight sales
men have not been apprehended.
Statesmen represented, it is declared,
that they were from companies with
distilleries in Louisville and Cincin-
natl. Federal agents maintain the
companies purchased their liquor from
distillers and sold it for twice the
amount they paid for it. In several
cases, it is alleged, notes given for
liquor were discounted at local banks
and delivery never made. Alleged vic
TINS are scattered Throughout the
United States.
