WEST END THEATRE

The makers of rnotion-picture films seem to have no limit to their ;ambi- 4tions, Judging from the picture pro- ductions now being featured upon the screen. The newest Lubin release, for instance, is ssThe District Attorney the famous political drama by Charles lein and Harrison Grey Ffske, which is being shown at the new West End theatre on States atreet, near Clinton avenue, tonight. This stirring play all ways attracted big audiences when portrayed on the stage, and it will no doubt bring out the same large fol- lowing to see the story unfo1ded on the screen.
 s'The District Attorney is a big story-an impeIIing story-because it takes commonplace incidents out of American {political life and galvanizes them intos one of the most gripping plays ever produced. f The gang, the ward heeler' and crooked contracts
 are familiar terms, but to give them a new meaning is the work of master p1aywrights. But to interpret this story without words is even a still more more notable +achievenae1t- achievement for motfon-picture pro- gressiveness and the Lubin players. George SouIe Spencer plays the part of 'SThe District Attorney, and Doro- thy Bernard that of Helen night. Charles Brandt is seen at Matthew Brainerd, the s'boss," and A. H. Van Buren, the dupe-a quartette of capa- b1e players that will ensure the suc- cess of any play in which they ap- pear
 In adapting s"The District Attorney for motion picture reproduction the Lubin Company emphasizes the new idea in photo play tendency-that of selecting famous plays by famous au- tIlors. There have been number1ess phGto plays of political life. but irI bringing out 'eThe District Attorney the Lubin Company sets a new high standard. tsThe District Attorney is a, c1ean-cut. who1e-souled. wholesome show-a show that makes men think, and leaves a good trnpr ression. It has an abundance of thrills, bat thrills of thu right kind. Itis really worth while. E. +- esg 3sssssss

BILL OF LADINC
ROW UNSETTLED
Vessel Owners and Grain Ship
pers Fail to Reach Satisfac-
tory Agreement

After an all-day session spent in
arguing the question OF limiting the
liability OF vessels for shortages in
grain cargoes. the conference of the
representatives OF the grain shippers
OF the United States and Canada and
the three associations OF lake vessel
owners, in the Hotel Pontchartrain,
Wednesday. adjourned without having
reached an agreement, the vessel own
ers determined to put In force at once
a new bill OF lading, providing that
one peck in 1000 bushels shall be the
limit OF the responsibility for any
grain shortage on the part of the yes
sells, and the big majority Of the ship
pers equally determined not to accept
this bill OF lading.
President William Livingstone, OF
the Lake Carriers association, said
that the three vessel owners associa-
tions. the Dominion Marine associa-
ton, the Lake Lines association, and
the Lake Carriers, had agreed that
after Jan. 6 no vessel enrolled In their
associations will accept charter for
the transportation of grain which
does not include the new clause linn
iting the responsibility for shortage,
and that the vessel owners had also
agreed to give the grain shippers the
benefit of any averages.
Some OF the shippers were very
determined in their opposition to the
new bill OF lading, declaring that they
would take the matter into court be-
fore submitting to 1t.
Two subcommittee we're appointed
Wednesday afternoon, each faction be-
ing represented. The first report OF
the joint committee at 4 o'clock, was
u disagreement, and after more heat
ed general discussion, the committee
resumed its conferences. Late We'd
nesday night, the committee ad-
journed unable TO reach a satisfac-
tory agreement, but it is understood
that 1t will reconvene within 80 days
and attempt TO adjust the differences
between the vessel men and the grain
@hippers.
