London, Oct. 3O.-Only the noun

Blu sarian pressure continues the most
interesting phase Of the war. Except
for the French contingent Stiffening

mitza the allied reinforcemeHts have
no, yet reached the hard pressed

seryia's tiny neighbor and ally,
Montenegro, meantime, is being ham

erting pressure along the Drina-Vise-
grad line. The general Teutonic Of
fensive continues.
The Russians have bombarded the
Bulgarian littoral and Russian troops
are reported to be crossing the Black
sea, preparatory to an attempt at land
ing. with a view to taking the Bull
garians in the rear. These reports
come from German sources, however,
and are not confirmed nor is the re-
port of big naval engagement in the
Black sea between Russian squadron

The rumored movement of the Rus
sian troops to aid Servia is generally
credited in England and given the
most prominent place in the late edi-
tions of the London evening papers.

Martha Hedman in ..The Cub"

World Film corporation presents
Martha Hedmon in a fve-psrt VIM. A,
Brady photoplay, "The Cub based on
the stage offering of the same name.
Thompson Buchanan, who wrote
Life" was the author.
Miss Hedman, who had a distinguish
ed stage career in Sweden, England
and the United States, is one of the
numerous clever and beautiful act
resses who owed her principal opp0r-
tunities to the late Charles Frohman,
who brought her to this country. This
is her first appearance in motion pic
lures.
The story Of "The Cub" is highly
diverting one. At the time of some
bitter feuds in Kentucky newspaper
editor desired a special story, and as
signed a new, young reporter to the
job. He, clever and debonair, prompt
ly got himself in a terrible mess by
falling in love with one girl who was
prominent on one side of the feud, and
getting himself fallen in love with BY
another girl who was on the opposite
side.
The result, though dangerous to him
was provocative of series Of highly
diverting but dangerous situations
which were finally cleared up by the
intervention Of the militia.
John Hines, an extremely clever
comedian who has made great repu'
tation for himself in World FIN feat,
ures, has a part in which h fairly
revels as the cub. There are other
highly finished players in the cast.
"The Cub" will be presented at the
opera house on Tuesday, November 2

John Hines. Comedian.

John Hines, the inimitable comedian
of the World Film features, who has
been chosen for the title role of the
VIM, A, Brady photoplay, THE Cub"
has been on the stage ever since he
was a child, making his. debut in 1903
in '?The Babies and the Baron" at the
Lyric theater. His next engagement
was his playing the role of Little Bill
ly' in William Gillette's production Of
Sherlock Holmes" 1t is very inter-
esting to note the fact that when Will
liam Gillette acted this play in London,
Charles Chaplin played this same role,
We remember John, or Johnny, as he
is Familiarity known to his World Film
associates. with great pleasure, sup
porting Madge Kennedy IN Little Miss
Brown. He also played Geo. NJ. Co.
hans part in "The Little Millionaire"
on the road. Cohan -& Harris liked
his work so much that they placed him
in the title role in Children of Today"
which was not successful He next
went back again. to musical comedy,
supporting Emma Trentini in "The
FREELY" This is not ALL Johnny also
took a "1yer" into vaudeville. He
played the entire Orpheum circuit.
This is certainly some experience
for a boy Of twenty-one summers, but
it is experience which has given the
screen one Of the best comedians.
When John was asked how he hap
pened to get into pictures, he said:
II got the idea when l was playing
in Children of Today I should say,
rather, that it was Sam Forrest, Cohan
& Harris general director, who drop
ped the hint. l want to give him the
credit, as he deserves it. Mr.. Forrest
was rehearsing ne one day, and he
happened to remark how much silent
comedy l could get over the footlights
that is, how we'll I could express my
self without using words. Mr. For
rest suggested more as joke, that
it might be worth my while to try
moving picture work as an experiment.
Although I laughed at the time, it al
ways stuck in my crop, which some
people say is a 'nutty' one"
Johnny enjoys joke on himself bet
ter than most actors.
"Last season happened to be a very
poor one in the legitimate. So de-
cided that now was my opportunity to
try out Sam Forests suggestion. My
decision was settled when I was Of
