"THE SABLE LORCHA"
 WITH seTJTJo MARSHALL,

Fully Marshall gives a very convincing and thrilling delineation of the willy im- placable Chinese halfbreed, John Soy, in 'The Sable Lorcha,'' to be shown at the Strand theatre next Thursday This Fine Arts film play is adapted from the pow erful novel by Horace Hazeltine and rep resents the high degree of realism at tained by the Triangle people in dealing with the life and ways of an alien race. "GENTLEMAN FROM
 INDIANA" IS COMING
 Sentimental interest attaches to the coming Animation of ''The Gentleman From Indiana the world-famous novel of Indiana Whitecaps at the strand on Friday and Saturday, because of close personal friendship of long standing be tween Dustin Farnum, the star, and the author, Booth Tarkington. Both are old time cronies. and Tarkington released the film rights only on condition that Farnum be secured for the fighting Hoosier edi- tor. The celebrated star gives a per for nance which shows the shrewdness of Tarkington in insisting upon this point ''The Gentleman From Indiana is the first of the Pallas pictures which will be released on the Paramount pro- gramme.
 From the Pallas studio comes word that Helen Eddy's telling pantomime in the boarding house scene. with Dustin Far mum in the forthcoming production oi ''The Gentleman From Indiana" revealed such rare dramatic gifts that the other actors generously burst into applause for her work at the conclusion of the scene Miss Eddy's work. while mere pt III the I.allas I,icture production, never theless stands out as one of the most artistic things in it. and stamps her as one of the screen finds of the year. Hel wonderful eyes and facial expression as the lovelorn little servant girl with a hopeless infatuation for the popular ed' itor is touching. Dustin Farnum is eN |.eeedingly fortunate in his supporting cas' as it includes Winifrea Kingston. the fas chatting young London actress; Herbert Davies and others. all of whom give 8 splendid account of themselves in the Booth Tarkington story.

true conformance with, the lines:

And the Raven. never Hitting, still is
 sitting,
 On the pallid bust of Pallas, just above
 my chamber door;
 And his eyes have all the seeming of
 a demons that is dreaming, And the lamplight OCT him streaming
 throws his shadow on the floor.
 The death scene will be remembered long by all who see it, as his soul is lifted from out that shadow that lies floating on the fioor.'
 Mr Walthall totters to the chair in his lonely room, now and then casting sor- rowful look at the raven, always perched on the bust, peerng and croakinS. His face gradually assumes look of peace and his head lies far backward. Behind his chair the figure of death appears. At the right an angel comes into vision. He touches the reclining body with his sword and, by the magic of double ex- posture, we see the spirit depart from it.. The spirit casts a lingering look at its late habita ton, then passes out with the angel. Our eyes still fixed on Poe's dead body, see it relaxing and finally roll to the floor, where the shadow of the Raven falls upon it.
 The acting of the people in the cast throughout is worthy of unstinted praise. Miss Warda Howard appears as Virginia Clemm Helen Whitman, the Lost Leonore and Spirit. In the first mentioned char acter she is given good opportunity and takes full advantage of it. In the fine character part afforded by John Allan, Ernest Maupain, as is his wont, IS thoroughly at home, and Harry Dunkln- son is equally happy in the part or Tony Poe's chum while in Virginia. commendabe characteristic of the act ing is that every small character part is well sustained. Among these may be mentioned old Billy Robinson as Joseph Reed, Burt Weston as the negro, pur- cha sed by Poe with an l. O. U., and Grant Foreman as John Allan's secre- tary. It must not be overlooked that Misses Eleanor Thompson and Marion Skinner give becoming characterizations of Mrs John Allan and Mrs. Clemm.

ARMY OF 100000
IS READY IN ITALY
Troops Along Frontier Eager
to Get Into Action and
Are Restrained.

ON THE ITALIAN FRONTIER, via
Paris, April 16.-Italy today has 1,200,-
900 first-line soldiers under arms. They
are from twenty to twenty-six years of
age. They are perfect army, and equip
ped otherwise ito the last button
Eagerness of the soldiers concentrated
along the frontier to begin action is SO
great that their officers are compelled to
hold them closely in check, for fear of
disturbing border incidents.
Hope for Peaceful Gains.
In view of the extensive preparations
which have been made, the question is
asked with increasing frequency why Italy
does not enter the war. Men in a posi-
ton to speak with authority say that a
majority of the people prefer, and the
government still hopes, to obtain terri
torial concessions from Austria without a
rupture of friendly relations
Weather conditions in the Alps also
must be remembered in considering Italy's
probable action. Snow still lies deep in
the mountains, and the cold is intense
Most of the passes are still closed by snow
and ice.

that peace suggestions have come from
