DU BARRY AT A-MUSE.U

I Mrs. Leslie Garter, who plays; the lead in George Kleine's beautiful. six part film ''Du Barry at the A-Muse-U tonight and tomorrow night, wears a number of expensive gowns that are sure to attract com r'entby the feminine portion of the audience. Tha total value of three of these dresses exceeds twenty-two' hundred dollars.
 The gown worn by Mrs. Carter in tho scene where she is introduced at court, is a jewal-brocaded creation trimmed with fourteei ornaments. This gown was designed at the fash ionable Worth establishment i'll Paris and cost 7500 frances, or S1500 ill American money. This is by far the most elaborate costume ever seen in a motion picture, yet to masculine eyes it's intrinsic value remains 0 shrouded, impenetrabie mystery.
 The entire production is character ized by lavish expenditure of money and close attention to detail which makes it an extra ordinary example of the modern tendency toward the beautiful and representative in pie lures.

Today-Apart from the Importance attributed to ths picturization of a successful play by that wellKnown young dramatist, Wm c. DsMille Jesse l. Lasky's production of "Young Romance" is of special interest in that it presents Edith Taliaferro for the first time on the screen. Miss Edith Talifaerro whose talents seem especially suitable for photo-,1ramatic work. is the sister cf Mable Taliaferro and equally famous on Broadway. She is parti- culorly remembered for the success she. scored in "Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm" "Yonng Wisdom" and othe Ne wYork hits.
 The story Of "Young Romance concerns the experiences of a young pirl clerk in a department store who, in a fit of June madness. determines to pretend that she is rich lady of fashion during her one weeks vara- ton.

obs.

The personal property assessment
for 1915, of julius Rosenwald, the So
called philanthropist of Chicago, will
be fixed at $3,O0O,OOO by the board of
assessors, according to the announce
ment made recently by David M.
Pfaelzer, member Of that board.
His assessment has been estimated
at $2,OO0,OOO and penalty of $1,OO0,-
600 has been made" announced the
assessor.
''We will fight such an assessment
to finish," came the comment from
the state attorneys office, which
caused the indictment, later quashed,
in Mr.. Rosenwald's case for failure to
schedule. 'He paid taxes on more
than $3,0O0,00O last year, and our con-
tention is that he owns personal prop
erty of which the value is closer to
$25,0O0,OO0,' stated Irwin K. Walker,
assistant states attorney, assigned to
the tax investigation.
1t appears that Rosenwald is not
paying what he ought to pay. His
profits, from a stock dividend alone
last year, were more than $11,OO0,O0O
Although Rosenwald is Jew and he
knows that his people have suffered
through centuries of segregation, he
gives great sums of money to build
tutions which have for their object the
segregation of American citizens.
Could money be put to a baser use?

In a recent address at Los Angeles
he said: .rs

flict heard it called ''holy war
Christianity will be affected for a.
least two generations and the Y. M.
G. A. and similar bodies in America
must lead in the redemption"
The Christianity of every country IL
Europe is superior to the Christianit,
(?) of the Y. M. G. A. in America,
the principal mission of which seems
to be to mock Christ by drawing tht
color line and DR.. Mott will only max.
a bad condition worse if he continues
to try to introduce thes America

Every style of outrage which ha.
been perpetrated in Europe was first

candidate for Recorder of Deeds of
the District of Columbia.
We trust the bishop will not fall
for their f1attery and place himself
before the country as aseeker of po-

grace to himself, his family, his
church and the people with whom he
is identified.
1t would also be dishonorable. be.

for the place and it would be difficult
