NEW WESTERN DRAMA.
THE Golden Thought" is the title OF
one of the Christmas day releases for
the motion picture screen. 1t is a
western drama featuring Tom Mix in
series of exciting episodes. The plot
Is good one and there are many
thrilling climaxes.
To Otis Turner, the grand old man
of the movies" who has directed The
Island of Desire" and other big pro-
auctions, belongs the credit for many
"firsts" in the silent drama. Mr.. Turner
was the first director of the legitimate
stage to hear the call of the new art:
he made the first animal picture. he
made the first war picture; he pro-
duced the first western drama, and
his is the honor Of having turned out
the first three-reeler in the world Of
the photoplay.

YULET|DE SEASON Dull

New York, Dec. 23.-From time i'm

At Christmas time the people have so

the musical shows offer about the only
exception to the general rule. The
music and mirth and the gorgeous cos

Which serves to remind one that
musical comedy. like the price of most
other things. Is going up. Hereafter

"a Mexican had insulted the flag" and

LONDON. July .4-The two British
official dispatches issued today re-
corded little change in the situation
on the British front. They show that
the Germans have brought up strong
reinfCrcements from other parts Of
their line and are stubbornly con-
testing every yard of the British ad-

Torrential rains today, however,
hampered the offensive operations
and the British action was confined
mostly to consolidation the ground
already won. The French have cap
tured two more villages and are on
good roads to Peronne But there is
yet no decrease in the violence Of
the German attacks in the Nerdun

Dispatches from German war cor
