Real Christmas.
NO TRACE OF MISSING GIRL

Hope of ever finding the girl, Fran
ces c. Ramsay, of this city. who dis
appeared from her home almost two
weeks ago and was traced as far as
Philadelphia, is becoming more and
more dim.
Mrs. Frank Ramsay, her mother is
distracted. She received news from
friends at Strawbridge's department
store in Philadelphia that the girl had
obtained enough money there to en-
able her to reach New York, where
she is probably located now. A spark
of hope was stirred a couple of days
ago when news from New York stated
that a girl answering Miss Ramsay's
description had been taken to the
Bellevue Hospital, but investigation
proved that she was not tall enough
to be the missing Harrisburg girl

Douglas Fairbanks who made his
screen debut but a short time ago and
is hailed as the coming star of film
light comedy, viii appear as bright
particular feature of the first triangle
bill at the Colonial Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday.
The offering referred to is "The
Lamb" a new play in five parts. pre-
senting Mr.. Fairbanks in the title role
This scored an unprecedented hit when
produced recently in the Triangle
theaters of New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago. Beautiful Seena Owen,
noted for her strong work in THE
Fox Woman" is Fairbanks leading
lady. and he is surrounded by an eX-
cellent cast that includes Monroe
Salisbury. Alfred Paget, Kate Toncray
Lillian Langdon, Captain Dalton, Of
Mexican war fame. William e. Low
cry and Eagle Eye. the celebrated In
dian rough rider and acrobat.
The Lamb is the nickname of Ger
aid, who is very much in love with
Mary. society girl. She, on the other
hand admires Bill Cactus, a young
Arizona giant, and when Gerald proves
the weakling and Bill shows himself a
hero at a seaside accident she gives
the mitten to the Lamb and hikes
West, chaperoned by her mother, to a
house party on the Arizona ranch.
Gerald follows later. on the sage
brush plain, while dickering with
Navajos at wayside stop, the Lamb
loses his train, is manhandled by
crooks aid left for dead on the desert.
He wakes up, lodges snakes, a ella
monster and caCtuses, and in his head
long course runs into a befoundered
aeroplane and aviator from the afore-
said ranch.
They are surrounded by savage va
qui Indians, who take the Lamb and

across the Mexican border. The
aerialist is brutally murdered by the
Indians. The latter imprison Gerald
in close quarters. where (of all per-
sonsD he meets Mary. who has been
kidnapped by the Indians while her
party was automobiling on the desert.
Bill Cactus finally shows his yellow
streak when he fails to rescue Mary.
But Gerald, during a battle between
the Yaquis and the Mexican federal
soldiers, gets hold of quick firing
gun that the defeated MeXicans have
been using. He backs it into a corner
of the adobe fortifcation and plays 1t
upon the savages. Mary helps him
with long range rifle and a supply
of shrapnel shells.
In a second glorious battle the In
dians are routed by the lone efforts of
Gerald and Mary. Then the ammuni-
ton of the two Yankees gives out.
The remaining Indians creep slowly
up on the fortification, intending to
take Gerald alive and cut his heart
out. For Mary they intend a far
worse fate. But in the meantime the
United States cavalry. summoned by
the automobile party from the nearest
frontier post, arrive on the scene. They
rush the creeping Indians, drive them
headlong and bring rescue to the be-
leaguered boy and girl. Mary now
knows that the Lamb is no weakling.
and she falls into the gallant Gerald's
arms.
THE Lamb" is said to be illustrated
by some of the finest battle scenes in

ner, reminiscent of THE Birth of n
Nation" and Judith of BethuIia." Mr..

of shipping out the manufactured cars,

permission to make a defense to III.
A. Garman's $500 Judgment suit
against her.
The story is the tale of the auto
that didn't go.
May 2S. 1915, Annie admitted that
she bought car from Garman for
5000; she game him a note for it.
Annie admits that she didn't know
much about autos and took Garman's S
word to the effect that the car was
1912 model, had Just been repaired
at an expense of $125. was equipped
with self starter. and that the tires
could be renewed at cost of GER
tainly not more than S12.
The next day Annie attempted to
run the car. She started from Yer
beke in Sixth with the idea of going
for little spin to Maclay. She hasn't
reached Maclay yet, in her own car.
After the car broke down on its
maiden trip the plaintiff began to
learn number of things, viz: That
1t wasn't 1912 but a 1908 model:
that 1t hadn't a self starter: that the
renewal of tires cost from S25 to $40
instead of s12 apiece; that Garman
never had it repaired. Furthermore
she had to spend $110 herself for
repairs. That's why she hasn't set
tied the judgment of $500. Judge
kunkel made the rule on Garman re-
turnable in ten days.

The British soldier has at last come
to a realization of the terrible gravity
of the situation which faces him. You
don't hear him singing "Tipperary''

going to do when he gets to Berlin.
He has come to have a most pro-
found respect for the fighting qualities
of the men in the spiked helmets. He
knows that he, an amateur boxer as it
were. is up against the worlds heavy
weight professional champion, and he
perfectly appreciates that he has to

Ford Defended by Movie Magnate

To the PhotopIdv Editor:
Henry Ford has been called jackass
and clown because he hired a ship and
sailed across the sea TO stop the most
frightful slaughter in the history of the
world.
Maybe he can't stop the war. Few ex-
pect that he will succeed. Nimble-witted
critics are having piles of fun with him
because they don't believe he can deliver
the goods.
But, TO me, the big thing in his action
is not the question of whether he will or
will not stop the war, but the fact that
hs is willing to try! 1t was by trying
that he got where he is. And still he
keeps on trying!
In the face of overwhelming odds. in
spite OF a worldwide criticism, he is will
ing to tackle the greatest job that ever
fell to the lot of n human being in the
worlds history. He brushes aside the
thousands of columns of newspaper criti-
cisms. he ignores the public utterances Of
so-called statesmen, he sets his face to-
ward the most glorious goal that any man
