Almost everyone possesses a hobby. and it is not all surprising that the movies stand in this relation to a number of people for whom the legiti- mate drama always had a strong appeal. Mrs Charles G. Davis is one of a num- Der of prominent women here who are well versed in not only the personalities of screen actors, but are also posted in the mechanics of motion picture produc- ton. There are few players with whose peculiar talents Mrs. Davis Is unfamil- far and as she is probably the most sys- temattc visitor to the pictures she might safely be pronounced the most capable local critic of this decidedly youthful form of the drama.
 Mrs Davis is so well known in fact among the film producers here that the ushers over at the Trianon exert a bit of favor in her behalf, reserving always If they tactfully can do so, the box seats which they know are her preference. Seeing picture with her is an especial treat, as she has learned intutively the why's and wherefores of the play enacted before her, easily picks up the threads of story. though she enter when it is half over ana her occasional comments have the intelligence gained through an acquaintance with the innumerable syn dicates producing pictures today. She watched a charming production some time ago in which the leading characters were Miriam Nesbit and Marc McDer- mott. When the heroine started for a walk. becomingly swathed in fur neck piece but sans coat. she exclaimed: 'That is the first discrepancy I ever knew that company to permit. You re- member it was only yesterday afternoon that thes house party went skating. It would certainly be cold enough for a coat today. and look at those thin sleeves.''
 She was asked the other day to name her favorites in filmdom. That is diff cult" she said. "There are so many types I suppose love Clara Kimball Young best of the women players, she is go clever and so pretty. But there is Theda Bara, who is a wonder in her way Do you remember her interpreta- tion of "A Fool There Was?' I liked it much bette rthan the stage version and her personality is exactly suited to it. And on the other hand Olga Petrova is an extraordinary emotional actress of the screens She has been here, I be- lieve, only once, but she is coming again, hear in The Heart of Painted Wom- sn,' and if you haven't seen her. you must do so.

 It was accordingly much more peculiar that she. should finally secure position as private stenographer to the million aire owner of Scott X Son, leading New York importers. and that the wealthy importer should advance her salary on sight.

 One afternoon she is craftily detained after the other empoyes have gone home. She learns too late the purpose of her employer. The doors are locked and she cannot escape.

If the majority want to go to the northwest, that Is the road the train takes, and if they want to go to the southwest. then 1t goes in that direc- ton for the remaining three miles and those who wanted to go the other way are forced to walk across two-mile strip of woods and swamp to get to their destination.

drowned. It was alleged at the time
that the unfortunate had been taken
aboard the vessel in a helpless condi-
ton, and that when he came to real
ize what had been transpiring while
he was out of his senses, he leaped
into the bay and drowned. 1t was
charged that irresponsible parties had
thus sent this man to ship which
was distasteful to him and against his
wish, and the representation is now
made that if the higher license Is
imposed, it will have a tendency to
keep out these irresponsible parties,
and cause those who are engaged in
the business to have responsibility
upon them which will guarantee no
underhand methods.
The commissioners heard the rep
reservations of the attorney named,
and will later pass upon the question.

INCREASE
OF LICENSE TAX

Representing the shipping masters
at the port Of Pensacola, C. M. Jones,
Esq, yesterday appeared before the
board of city commissioners and on
behalf of his clients, petitioned that
the license tax on that line of bust
ness be increased from 500 to 5000
per year, the commissioners being
told that the shipping masters want
the increased license for their own
protection.
There are but few licensed ship
ping men here now, and the higher
license charge, it was stated, is
sought for the purpose Of wedding
and keeping out any possibly I'M
desirable persons who may seek to
engage in the line of business.
Some time ago, it was asserted, a
sailor who had been placed aboard
! a ship, leaped overheard and was

NOW ARE WE FALLEN UPON
EVIL DAYS.

Now are we fallen upon evil days,
When half the world is lit with
battle-fame,
When gaunt destruction, sacrilege
and shame
Go stalking starkly down earth's
pleasant ways.
Where men walked joyfully the lurid
blaze
Of rapine scars, and there is mad
acclaim
Of those who loudly call on Gods
high name
To justify the sanguine sword that
Stays.
It is not strange, then, that our souls
should long
For the sweet recompense that na-

For the seclusion, and the restful

That rises from the peaceful hills
and fields,
For surcease from the irreparable
wrong
And for some Power that shelters
and that shieldsi

PEACE ovERTUREs LIKELY
IN EUROPEAN WAR

The Kaiser is reported to be pre-
pairing peace overtures, and while
these may not be agreed to by the
other powers engaged in warfare, still
it must be remembered that Germany
was the aggressor. and as France and
England have doubtless had a pretty
good fill of fighting. and spending
money, 1t is not unreasonable to sup
pose that they might be willing to
get together on some plans for set
Ting the war,
1t begins to look like Germany was
getting so much the worst of it, and
without any outlook for bettering her
chances of victory. hence. in the event
of peace proposals the allies will be
able to dictate to some extent at least,
the terms.
Should the war come to an end
the world will rejoice. A war that has
cost millions of lives and bankrupted
the great nations engaged in 1t in two
thirds of year. is an experience which
should not need to be repeated again
for one or two generations.
