NEW YORK, May THE first
~ news of the torpedoing. and
sinking of the Cunard liner Lusitania
came shortly after l p m. today
through an announcement from the
local offices of the Cunard line that
an unconGrmed rumor to that effect
had been received from abroad. Less
than an hour later the company made
public additional messages confirming
the report which in the meantime,
however, had been verified by news
paper dispatches from London.
Conflicting reports came in during
the afternoon to the line and to news
agencies in regard to the safety of
the passengers, but Up to the early
hours of the evening no definite in
formation as to their fate had been
received here.
The publication of the news created
tremendous excitement In Wall street
and there followed q violent decline
in both the stock and cotton markets.
Under an avalanche OF selling orders
which reached their greatest volume
during the last hour of trading, stocks
fell from to 80 points and cotton
50 so a bale. The so-called war stocks,
like Bethlehem Steel, were especially
affected.

The picture IS in seven reels and was produced Ey D. W. Griffith and IS interpreted by an usually strong cast, including Blanche Sweet. Robert Harron and others equally notable. The story deals with the slum life of New York. There is tremen- dously strCng human side to il. 1t Is as if some one had gone down into the East Side streets of the city and iIcNed dt random some family exist 3nS-hardly Hving-in the way that thousands upon thousands exist From start to end of this photo play one sees nothing that is not known tu he in real life

So many of the Fox features have been shown at the Lamara and they have been so uniformly good. that the simple statement that T picture is from the Fox Feature studios should be enough of recommendation to fill the thea ter. Take the splendid production of "Du Barry last week for in- stance, one of the best pictures shown here this winter There has yet to be shown a Fox feature which was below standard. In The Ciild- ed Fool William Farnum will be seen in the role made famous by Nat Goodwin.
