How Ideals Have Learned to
Pay Their Own Way in the
World of Print

CIVILIZATION has tapped reservoir of
~ unsuspected energy. 1t is dazzled by the
first pickings in a mine that makes the gold
of Ell Dorado look cheap and vain. 1t has
discovered the bonanza. Publicity.
When somebody discovered America other
people stood about and said, "Now you've
got it, what are you going to do with it?" For
long time the best the discoverers could do
was to grab all the gold in sight and take q
few Indians back to Europe to show them off
as Barnum showed his wild man. When the
East discovered California the best it could
do was to grab all the gold. Now, California
suggests gold to no one, but its far more
valuable crops. When the World invented
printing it made it private matter for a
couple of centuries.

BREED THEATRE.

The pitfalls confronting the unfortu- mates who go wrong and later try to redeem their lost lives by living straight are faithfully shown in the Mutual masterpicture The Overcoat, which is the feature at the Breed thea Ire today, with Rhea Mitchell and William StoWell in the leading roles The principal characters are dance hall girl and an ex-convict who con- Quer in a bitter fight for restoration. The supporting cast is excellent and was especially assembled for this powerful photoplay.
 The Breed also presents the Mutual Weekly, and 3, very funny Beauty comedy completes the bill for today.
 On Friday and Saturday the Breed will present Harold Lockwood and May Allison in Tie River Of Romance. a fve-part Metro wonderplay which will undoubtedly prove the most pop ular photoplay that these two delight ful stars have yet appeared in.
 The Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence river, the beauty spot of North America, furnishes many glorf- ous settings for this screen master piece, which is unrivalled in it's scepic beauty. The swiftly moving story is full of incidents that absolutely de- mand the daring of two such fearless players as MT. Lockwood and Miss Allison. Fights by night in strange waters are followed by narrow escapes of drowning and sensa tional rescues. And through the fabric of beauty and adventure is woven the scarlet thread of a powerful and delightful love story

THE BLUE ENVELOPE
Coming to the Davis Theatre.

Following an unusually large mail order safe, the seats for the engage mcnt of the Cort theatre, New York, farce success. The Blue Envelope, will be placed on sale at the box office or the Davis theatre Friday at 10 a. m. for the performance of the play Tues day, Oct. Sd. In announcing the seal ; for this attraction it is timely to give q word of praise to Richard Lamber-, producer of the farce, for his very clever understanding of road" condi- tiOnS. The success that attended the reception of the farce at the Cort and the continued popularity of it's extend ed run at that playhouse, would have caused the majority of managers to have sent out several road companies in the play this season. But Mir Lambert has devoted much time to the study of theatrical conditions outside of New York, and arrived at the con clusiOn that one of the principal req sons for complaint regarding the un- even business of New York successes on tour was the result Of inferior casts Nt a $2 scale of prices. Deciding to avoid this pitfan, he determined to send only his original production on tour and to bend every effort to the perfection of that organization Also, he decided 10 have his company piay at all times at the $1.50 scale of prices. While each of these decisions entailcd the loss of considerable prospective profit, Mir. Lambert's astute mind con- ceived that in the long run the confi- dence of the theatregoing public throughout the country, gained by these moves. would more than reim- purse him for the lessening of his present gross profits. As a result. The Blue Envelope is playing to immense audiences in every city it visits. Local theatregoers are assured that the farce will be enacted by one of the most capable of casts ever assembled for the purpose of fun making, and that they will find no premium placed upon the tickets they desire to purchase The cast will be headed by Edward Garvie and Carrie Reynolds. and will Include such other eminent farceur5 as Ralph Nairn, Beth F'ran4zlyn, John L. Kearney, Lizzie Wilson, Victor Browne. Franklin George, Caroline Leonard, Belle Theodore and Ford Fenimore.

 Frederick Brown Harris, Minister.
 Long Branch, N. J.. Sept. 25. 1916. My dear Colonel Ray:
 Last night our people-a thousand strong-came and saw and were de- lighted and inspired.
 The marvellous service of last night brushed the dust of the ages from Pilgrims Progress for hundreds, and made the scenes of Christians jour- ney from the City of Destruction to the City of God. living pictures for evermore. Even those who came last night to criticise. remained to praise. Fortunate, indeed. is the church whosS doors swing open for the presentation of this Twentieth Century picture of the immortal Seventeenth Century dream.
 The pictures are wonderful, the lec- ture is forceful, the piano accompan- iment is beautiful. the total effect IS the harmonious combination of the three-indeed an effective trinity.
