Film Censors OverruIed.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 2Qth.-For
the first time in the history of Penn
sylvania a motion picture play was
exhibited today in court room as
testimony in its own behalf. The ex-
hibition was before Judge John Pat
terson of Common Pleas. After a
hearing which followed the picture
in the darkened court room, the court
reserved the State Board of Motion
Picture Censors that had forbidden
the public showing of the picture, and
the photoplay will be released imme-
diately in Pennsylvania.
The case was of utmost interest in
the picture industry, as it was the
first appeal ever taken from the CEN
sors. whose powers were heretofore
quite arbitrary. The photoplay is
Blanche Sweet in '"The Secret Orch
ard" by William C. DeMille, from
the play by Claiming Pollock, based
on the novel by Agnes and Egerton
Castle.
The censors had disapproved be-
cause, they said, public morals were
jeopardized.
This wonderful picture of the Par
amount program with Blanche Sweet
and Carlyle Blackwell will be exhib-
tied at the Isis Friday.

ADJUSTMENTS
Isis Today.

The first Vitagraph production in
which the distinguished actor Robert
Edeson viii be seen is a perturbation
of "Mortmain," or "The Dead Hand, ("
from the story of the same name by
Arthur C. Train. Mr.. Edeson, who
portrays the name part, Mortmain,
was supported by an all-star Vita
graph cast, directed by Theodore
Marston under the personal supervis-
ion Of J. Stuart Blackton and Albert
E. Smith.
"Mortmain" as a screen story is
doubly attractive because Of its
strong dramatic action, and the scien-
tific and psychological elements that
make of it a decided novelty. Mr..
Edeson, as Mortmafn, is shown being
put to sleep under the influence Of
ethyl chloride, and as the drug takes
effect the. sensations experienced by
him under its influence are shown
in vivid realism. He sees his own
head getting larger and larger until
it bursts. This is succeeded by fall
ing sensation as from a great height,
and it is during this period the super
man leaves the body and wanders off
into space. AS the force of the anes-
thetic is spent and the soul returns
to it's physical habitations, Mr.. Eide
son receives sensation of a severe
jerk and bump. The experiences of
the superman during its wanderings
after leaving the body make the
story of ''Mortmain," in which every
scientific and psychological detail is
pictured ON the screen with startling
clearness. 1t is a notable fact that
this is the first time anything of the
kind has ever been shown in pic
lures, and the management of the
Isis feels proud in offering this pre-
/ sentation to his patrons.

CASE OF WILLIAMS
ENTERS THIRD DAY
OF STUBBORN FIGHT
THE LENGTHY AND GRUELLING
CROSS-EXAMINATIoN BY THE
STATE WAS NOT COMPLETED
WHEN COURT ADJOURNED.

When court adjourned last night,
the case against ]. Ed. Williams,
charged with the embezzlement of
public funds, was yet unfinished. The
state had the defendant undergoing
a gruelling cross-examination for
more than the three hours taken up
in the session of the afternoon, and
there is every probability that this
line of examination will be continued
this morning.
The defendant, Mr.. Williams,
seemed exceedingly cautious about
any and all replies which he made,
and to some of the questions he re
piled so evasively that the solicitor
was called upon to go after more
direct and satisfactory answers.
There was no forenoon session of
the court of record yesterday because
of the inability of three members of
the jury to return from a trip which
they were allowed to make, in the
custody of a bailiff, into the county,
where each of them was permitted to
cast his ballot in yesterdays election.
One of the results of this delayed trial
of the case was the necessity of hav-
ing the jury cared for again at the
hotel. There are six men in said
body and the court bailiff.
1t is believed that, the case having
progressed thus far, It will be posi-
bic to give 1t to the jury not later
than noon today, or perhaps a little
earlier, with the prospect of verdict
early this afternoon, or as soon as the
court convened for the after dinner
session.
