 Pictures

Elinor Glyns famous play. Three Weeks, will be seen in motion pictures at the Majestic this week. The play startled two continents in hook form, and on the legitimate stage. The pie turization of the great love drama eliml- mated the objectionable features, and it was passed by the national board of censorship. The play was barred from many cities while on the legitimate stage, but In motion pictures it Is believed all objections have been removed.
 It has been rumored that the woman S civic board will protest against the show ing of the picture in Birmingham. It is also understood that the city commss- sioners will visit the Majestic and view the picture with the object of getting first hand information as to whether or not it is too risque to be seen by a Bir- mingham audience.
 Manager Calman of the Majestic as serts that the picture Is not objectionable. He believes that, should protest be made, the city fathers will find no fault with the picture after seeing 1t.

This measure Will give the government the exclusive right to deal in the products mentioned for seven years. It's purpose IS to secure ample supplies for two purposes-for manufacturing ex- plosives, and for making artificial fertil- izers
 Hitherto the German powder and explo- sives industry has oeen dependent upon Chilean nitrate. and very large quantities of it were also used by the farmers. As t cannot now be imported. the govern ment realizes that comprehensive and en- ergetic measures must be taken to make a substitute at Home. and so it proposes to recover nitrogen from the atmosphere on large scale. Processes have already been worked out by German scientists by which nitrogen can he obtained even more cheaply than by importing 1t from Chile, provided the recovering plants be built on a sufficiently big scale.

Tennyson's Great Poem Is Dramatized for the
 Screen

A four-part photodramatizaton of Al fred Tennyson's great poem of the same name is 'Enoeh Arden,' which will ap- pear al the Odeon Two this week. It was produced by the Majestic company with an al-star cast under the direction of w. Christy Cabanne. Alfred Padget, Wal lace Reid and Lillian Gish portray the three leading characters in the play.
 From their earliest years Enoch Ar den and Phillip Ray had loved pretty An nie Lee, so the story runs. You re- member it. It was not that there were not other girls and boys with whom they might have played in the quaint little seaside village n which they lived. but the three seemed drawn together and loved each other greatly.
 Annie chose Enoch for mate when the three grew to maturity. Her decision was bitter blow to Phillip. but his love for his two friends was equal to the sti- preme test and sacrifice and he remained loyal in his affection for them both. Their wedding was gala affair and all the village turned out and thereafter Enoch and his beautiful bride made their home in the little hamlet where they had grown up.
 Years passed. Two children had come to bless the union of Enoch and Annie, son and daughter, the eldest of whom was seven. when upon an ii-omened day, it became necessary for the father to make long sea voyage. Times had been hard and in the little fisher village noth- ing was to be had. The voyage promised to make Enoch a rich man, as wealth was

 BLAMES CENSORSHIP FOR LABOR TROUBLES

London, March 25.-(Correspondence Of the Associated Press )-"Your press cen sorship is responsible for most of this trouble you are having with the labor men," declared J. II. Thomas, member of Parliament and head of the National Union of Railwaymen, to the government representatives gathered to discuss the labor situation in London. Explaining his point of view later to q mass meeting of union railway men, he said:
 ''The rigid press censorship, you see, has been responsible for the workers not understanding exactly what Is taking place at the front We heard of a trench being retaken, but we have never heard of it's being lost. l am perfectly certain that while it is necessary that nothing should get out that would be of value to the enemy, 1t would be much better to treat the British people as men and not as children, and thereby bring home to the workers direct their individual and moral responsibility.
