DEAF MUTES DANCE TO MUSIC

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2O-The deaf mutes to whom music is but a vague, eIu- sive idea, danced tonight at ball given to those attending the National Association of the Deaf, in convention here
 The dancers could not hear the dance airs, but they responded to the rhythm of the notes as accurately as the viollnists bows They replaced their missing sense with the greater keenness of others.
 Some "heard" the music by vibrations the added, undefned sense that is com bination of keen sight and air vibrations, that travelled through the floor; others i'll and few of the less gifted heard" it by proxy, watching sharply their more fortu- nate fellows and timing their motions ac- cnrdinglY

Fish Wantonly Destroyed

To sail for two days through dead fish is the experience of Aaron Ericson, the game warden, and an experience that shows the recklessness of the people who run canner ies, says the Seward Gateway.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-05-12

When an actress is able to be really
funny in comedy, when she doesn't
care bit for that kind of work, when
she is able to swing to the opposite
extreme and play, with dramatic
force and convincing power, the fas-
cinating vampire around whom the
burden of such a play revolves, it is
safe to say that the actress is I'M
commonly versatile and talented.
Such, briefly, is a sketchy outline of
Sally Crute, the Edison favorite.
With the sunniest of natures and
smiles it at first might seem strange
that she is so often cast in that role
so often as to be known as "the
Edison adventures. But when the
picture must give good and logical
evidence why men are fascinated the
reason is obvious.
Miss Crute halls from way down
south. When the southern minstrels,
on her plantation home near Hunts
vile, Ala, were finished, the darby
performers with one voice would
shout for Miss Sallie" and up would
get the nine-year-old and speak her
piece" Her ambition spread with
her reputation and she soon was

pany of Denver.
For various motion picture COM
panies she then played juvenile leads
and in the latter part of 1911 and in
1912 she was the lead in the stage
success, "The Rosary" Miss Crute

Bingham as the ingenue in 1.-The
Climbers; as the Widow Winters in

Deep Purple; Aggy Lynch in with

Officer. 666" and in other we'll
known plays.
Miss Crute puts her heart and soul
into everything she does and is
known as one of the most natural
actresses on the screen.
Her impersonations are always in
fused with infectious good nature and
personality, except when she plays
the adventures or vampire, and then
we do see art, for she seems the sub
tie, sinuous charmer incarnate. AL
though these parts are essentially not
the kind that win sympathy and pop
ularity, Miss Crute is a favorite and
is easily in the forefront when it
comes to depicting fascinating YAM
pire, such as her character of "Stel-
la," the dancer, in the Edison 3-reel,
I'm Spite of All" the play made ia
nous by Mrs. Fiske.
A few of the later Edison films in
which she appeared are: "The House
of the Lost Court" "Seen Through
the Makeup" "Only the Maid"; the
prize play, 'The Phantom Thief" and
''The Voice of Conscience"
