A combination of q spectacle and a
drama, with the two so closely inter-

spices of the Paramount Pictures Cor
poration. with Pauline Frederick in the
principal role.
In making a photoplay Of THE Eter-
nal City" the producers have seemed to
drop entirely the crudities that have
come to be expected in motion pictures
and have utilized the opportunity given
them TO stage real play in the real
atmosphere OF the settings given II by

of this sort that the best demonstra-
ton of the mission of motion pictures is
given.
The action was intended by Mr. Caine
to take place In the streets. the gardens,
and many famous and historic places in
Rome and London. In these cities, in
these streets and gardens the photoplay-
ers are seen. The Coliseum, st. Peters,

10 be the prime aim and purpose of "The
Little Millionaire" as produced by the

achieved beyond doubt.
The story has to do with the proposed
marriage of young man of wealth
with the niece of a scheming adven-
turess about the time his parent Of
wealth falls victim to the wiles of a
divorcee. But the audience was much
n:ore concerned and diverted with the
nlsniy amusing and ludicrous portrayal
of Bill Costigan, he of the good-natured
jag, querulous, loquacious, and ubiqui-
tous. as set forth by Roscoe.

A SUBMARINE TEST AT WAR

A British supply ship bound for
Archangel with munitions, whether
sunk by mine or by torpedo, must
suggest the same thought. 1t is that
here is full opportunity for a su-
preme test of the Won Tirpitz sub
marine as a weapon of real warfare.
The English are delivering arms
and ammunition at Archangel in the
hour of the imperative need of the
Cars armies. Under the waters
that course to Archangel is as free
to the German submarines as over
the waves it is to the British mer-
chantrnen. If the submarines are
really for war, and not merely for
numbering defenseless men, women,
and children, the Won Tirpitz ad-
miralty can prove it by cutting off
Russia's supplies of munitions now
sailing into Archangel. That would
be mems business at war, and if it
succeeded it would come near to
putting the Cars host out of the
battlefield.
So let the submarine give over
fighting the transatlantic liners,
the ferryboats, and the fishing
smacks and go to the test of shut
ting Archangel off from supplies Of
munitions for the Russian armies,
Nothing that the submarine has yet
done has been Of the slightest value
to the German cause. But if all
arms and ammunition could be shut
out of Archangel by the submarines
they would have vindicated them.
selves to degree as weapons OF
war, and they would have delivered
at Russia a more terrific blow than
the armies Of the Kaiser have dealt
them in Galicia.
