The second was that the submarine
which destroyed the ship discharged
a mark.
The third by indirection established
the fact that the Cunsrd Company or
der made Il impossible for the ship TO
make more than eighteen knots an
hour, and at his speed she could not
hope to escape the German submersi-
bic.

"The Spoilers at Regent Theatre

To-day "The Spoilers at the Regent
will commence three days run. 1t will
continue Tuesday and. Wednesday. This
big moving masterpiece has played in
the big cities at admission for soc and
a dollar The admission will be reduced
to popular price within reach of all
for the benefit Of people who know
good film plays. ''The Spoilers is
from the Rex Beach s book in nine reels
and three acts, featuring one of the
most wonderful genius of the world.
Big moving, masterful and wholesome
in its human interest, thrilling in incl
dent, absorbing in situation, powerful
in progression from start to finish.
"The Spoilers is thrilling red
blooded story of strong men battling
for supremacy, with all their power of
mind and muscle-alert for every cast
of chance This picturesque, rugged
romance Of Alaska has love story with
splendid imagination that grips and
holds the sympathies. "The Spoilers
presents the most stubborn, strenuous
and exciting fight ever pictured-the
acme of realism. You see a whole town
dynamited, volcanic earthquake ex-
traordinary, wonderful drawing pow
er. "The Spoilers was shown in
Studebaker's 8 theatre. Chicago, eight
weeks at charge of admission 81. Has
shown in all the big cities at the same
admission; was recently at Chestnut
street opera house, Philadelphia, at the
same price. This is one of the most
wonderful stories that was ever filmed.
Lovers of motion pictures who are
discriminating, cannot afford to miss
this production; or they no doubt will
regret it after they have heard others
talk about it. The price of admission
at the Regent is raised for three days
only-while this film is on. While 9TH
er cities have charged SO cents and 81,
the admission at the Regent will DE 20
cents on the orchestra floor and 10
cents in balcony. The balcony is almost
as desirable as any other part Of the
house.--Adv."

Real War Pictures

The latest pictures of the European
war-pictures made in Germany, East
Poland, Western Poland and France,
will be shown in this city for the first
and only time at the Majestic all this
week with daily matinees.
= These pictures are exploited by the
"Public Ledger" " Evening Ledger" "
of Philadelphia, paper owned by
Cyrus Curtis, who also owns the "Sat-
urday Evening Post" the "Ladies
Home Journal and the Country
Gentleman. They were made by staff
correspondents and photographers, four
of whom were killed while taking
these pictures. They are the only au-
thentic motion photographs of this
greatest of all wars ever made. The
three thousand feet of films which will
be shown have been shown in no other
city, excepting Philadelphia, where
they were inserted in the film being
shown at the Forrest theatre. These
new reels were received less than ten
days ago and were censored by the
Pennsylvania authorities on Monday
morning.
Did you ever stop to think that the
Civil war has never been visualized
to the reader of history; that the Ma
poleonic wars can only be learned by
reading pages of books; that Caesar
cannot be known except by reading;
that Hannibal, Washington, Alexander
not to mention Cyrus, and Xerzes, are
simply namesi We cannot visualize
them. It is simply question of i'm
agination. For the first time citizens
of this city will have an opportunity
to see war. This war is going on
now. 1t is costing twenty thousand
lives day, according to official re-
ports. 1t is changing the face of the
world. These pictures show the war in
its most intimate phase. They will be
shown here for a limited period, and
they are the only authentic pictures
that have gotten through the lines.

What looks to be the best all round
bill the Orpheum has had this season,
is the array of talent that is booked
to hold forth this week. Sam Mann,
most inimitable of comedians, and the
celebrated brother of Louis Mann, will
be its brightest light. Mr.. Mann, who
has been declared the David Warfeld
of vaudeville, scored the laughing
hit of the Orpheum s career in "The
New Leader at the Orpheum several
seasons ago, and this week he returns
in a new comedy, said to be as clever
and original as the other It's a real
estate act called "Lots and Lots of
It.. - He will have the support of an
excellent cast. Another of the big hits
will be the return of Diamond and
Brennan, the nifty girl and the splen-
did comedian, who will have a new
skit of fun and song called "Nifty
Nonsense. This is one of the most
clever duos in vaudeville and incident
ally one of the highest salaried.
And TrovotO, the violinist with the
wiggly eyes, will be there too. Tro-
voto was tremendous favorite at the
Orpheum some seasons ago, so that he
will likely receive a big welcome this
week. And Charles Lawlor and daugh-
ters, the delightful trio who had Har-
risburg singing "Pretty Peggy From
Over the Sea, " will be here again in
an entirely new act. This delightful
character singing trio is easily one of
the best novelties that travels the

one of the biggest welcomes of the
bill. Some of the other big names of
the bill will include the Bottomly
