About Edison Players

Director Richard Rldgely is producing
his scenarioized version of The Wrong
Women" a famous old English play. II
viii be somewhat unusual. as II contains
two strong feminine leads, which will be
played by Mabe Trunnelle and Gladys
Hulette.
Had Miriam Nesbitt's eyes not given
out when she was studying art In New
York-for she went there for that pur-
pose-the screen would likely have never
seen this talented leading Edison player.
She then took up the study of the stage
in dramatic school and won immediate
success on the stage.
No matter how trivial the part she may
be playlng-trival from the standpoint Of
short appearance-Jessie Stevens puts all
the earnestness of her sincerity into IT,
SO far does she go into this as to always
talk In dialect, II he be an 1rishwoman or
in similar part requiring, II 1t we're on the
speaking stage, the distinctive dialect
When II is realized that dialect could
never be heard" by the veriest of lip
reading fans, 1t gives a hint why her
parts always bespeak sincerity.

New Wonders From Seas
of CrusOe's Island

Recent investigators have discovered
tnat the island on which Robinson
Crusoe was cast away and lived alone
for 20 years was in the West Indian Seas
and not in the Pacific Ocean as formerly
asserted. It was in these same waters
that Columbus first set foot upon the new
hemlsphere-on the Island of San Saliva
dor In the Bahamas, now called Watling's
Island.
In the last year new adventures have
taken place In these same waters worthy
to rank with Columbus discovery which
revolutlonized the worlds civilization and
with the strange exploits OF Robinson
Crusoe In the brilliant romance from the
pen Of Daniel Defoe which influenced
the current of English fiction for 200
years. The reference Is to the adventures

George NJ. Williamson. 100 feet under the

vador had on the spirit of romance and
adventure of the 18th and 18th centuries.

London, March S.-The end of the

on the Germans in the preparation of
which General Joffre and Field Mar
shall Sir John French have been doing
much work during the past four
months
From the sea, through the dunes
OF Flanders to Arras in France, the
British and Belgian armies appear to
have withstood successfully all the
attempts OF the Germans to break
through their lines, while from Arras
to the snow-topped ridges OF the
Vosges the French continue to move
forward slowly. This is especially
true in the Champagne district. al
though the skillful German comman.
ders exact a heavy price for every
step gained in this section. Here the
French hope their efforts soon will
result in freeing the city of Rheims
from the attention OF the German
howitzers.
The unqualified optimism with
which, judging from the trend OF the
comment in the London newspapers
the approaching gigantic struggle is
regarded In Great Britain, France and
Russia can be attributed largely to
the remarkable recuperative powers
shown by the troops of Emperor Mich
olas.
