"The Ghost Breaker is truly re-
markable as a drama in that it brings
all the dash and spirit of adventure
ordinarily associated with the "ro-

roundings of modern life. 1t supplies
the love for excitement which is
natural attribute of all amusement
seekers, and at the same time it is so
localized that it contrives to be con-
vincing in spite of the most extra
ordinary incidents and the most un-
looled-for complications.

cause of the trouble was started by
s. o. Grauley, of De Neri, namely, that
it was a vital mistake to leave the
arrangements for a crucial series like
this in the hands of the two clubs. The
two clubs disagreed, and since there
was no commission in supreme charge
of the affair, the public was buncoed in
a way that would not be thought pos
sible in these days of running sports

Republican Convention June 7.

Washington, Dee. 14.-The re-
publican national committee de
cided today to hold the 1916 re-
publican convention June 7 at
Chicago. The vote stood: Chi
cago, 30; San Francisco, 10; ST.
Louis, Z; Philadelphia, 2.
The committee officially took
no cognizance Of candidates, al
though the lobby of the hotel
where the meetings were held was
pretty welly filled with republi-
cans who have been mentioned as
presidential possibilities and their
supporters. About 600 of the 9S5
delegates to the convention are
to be chosen at the primaries and
by the time most of these cleo
tions are held the leaders expect
to have a good line on what the
different states think Of their can
didates.
The republican fight, the gos-
sip went today, will be waged on
a few plain principles; defense of
American commerce and industry
and defense Of American lives.
One of the points Of attack will
be that the democratic party in
had not stood for an adj
equate plan of preparedness until
events across the Atlantic forced
them to change their position.

The sensation of the hour in
amusement circles is George Kleine' s
photo drama spectacle Antony and
Cleopatra. Stupendous and astound-

it. Nothing like it has been revealed
upon the screen since the art of mo-
ton photography was first discov-
cred. Even Quo Vadis which was
made by the same company pales in
to insignifcence beside it. The
greatest love story of history is told
upon the screen with a dramatic
power that is amazing and a pictorial
beauty chat is simply marvellous.
