TIN 7TJH]E,PIC7TURESANDOUT
By H. $. RYALL

Stewart in 'The Ninety and Nine" at the Rialto today are seen in a well balanced story of pathos and thrills.
 As in the play, the film version works up to the thrilling climax of the for est fire and the heroic deed of the drunkard. Tom Silverton, in piloting the trainload of women and children through the burning woods. The re- ligious touch of the story is deep and sincere, but not overdone.
 THE WORLD AGAINST HIM
 "The World Against Him" at the Rialto today, with E. K. Lincoln and June Elvdge deals with the unwrit- ten law and with a strange romance which begins after, instead of be- fore marriage.
 VOTE TO-DAY AT THE TRIANON.
 The Trianon boldly advertises the fact that "The Conquest of Canaan" " which opens at that picture playhouse today violates many sections of the proposed moving picture ordinance. In this much discussed picture tragedy is depicted; wicked cabaret is shown in full blast and a vampire goes "a-vamping." In spite of these scarce ly defined violations, the picture is ele vating and teaches tremendous moral.
 Everyone attending the performance of 'The Conquest of Canaan" will be handed a ballot with the request to vote, after seeing the picture, whether, in the opinion of the person voting, it is photoplay which is unclean and unelevating.
 The Trianon proposes to hold a lit tie referendum of it's own on the ques- tion of censorship; it will put into practical experiment censorship by the entire public, which 1t considers the best and safest and by which it will

"A GAMBLE IN SOULS"

Dorothy Dalton and William Desmond in "A Gamble in Souls at the Triangle today. tomorrow and Friday have play entirely out of the ordinary. It concerns a preacher of the sternest dogmatic prin- ciples, whose daily walk is an open, de- liant challenge to worldliness, and young girl of the dance hall and it's en- yironments These two are cast by ship wreck upon an uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
 The chorus girl and the preacher then begin the reshaping of their characters. Each learns from the oth- CT until common level is reached by the appearance of another man, who has also been shipwrecked. The preacher and the intruder battle to the death for the possession of the girl.
 "A Gamble in Souls is certain to please those who enjoy a virile, smash ing, thrilling play.

IRON ORE OUTPUT is LARGE
Production in 1915 Shows Big Increase
and Prediction Is for Still Larger
Gain This Year.

3 y e ~ rF 4. i L aa4f Ms
The iron ore mined in the United
States in 1915 reached the great total
of 55,525, 400 gross tons, the greatest
output made in any year except 1910
and 1913, says Uncle Sam. This was
an increase of 100000 tons over the
output of 1914. The United States
geological survey estimates that the
production of iron ore from the Lake
Superior district alone in 1916 will
possibly be 60,OO0,OOO tons and that
there will probably be an Increase in
price Of 70 to Is cents a ton for this
ore.
Iron ore was mined In % states in
1915. AS has been usual during recent
years, the five states ranking highest
in production in 1915 were Minnesota,
Michigan, Alabama, Wisconsin and
New York.
The Lake Superior district mined
nearly S5 per cent Of the total ore in
1915, the Birmingham district about
SO per cent, or little more than one
tenth as much. With the exception of
the total for a number of widely sep
arated districts, including those in the
western states, all the iron mining dis
tricts showed substantial increases
over 1914. the total increase being "a
per cent.
