 NEW YORK"
 A. H. Woods initial contribution to Pathe's Gold Rooster programme is New York" the famous Broadway suc- cess by William Hurlbut. Florence Reed, the emotional actress who 'weeps req! tears, and who has only lately become a motion picture actress, is featured. She Is supported by four famous legitimate stars-John Miltern, Fania Marinofs, Forrest Winant and Jessie Ralph. George Fitzmaurice, producer of Via Wireless" and At Bay" has outdone himself in this. his latest effort
 As a social drama New York" does not lack in proper atmosphere, for many of the scenes were taken in a famous ''tango palace of ''the Great White Way" The story is well knit and works up to it's amazing climax in a powerful way. Perhaps the most remarkable fea- ture of the picture is the convincing way in which the director plays up it's enor- nsously important details"
 The story concerns itself with Oliver King, patrician who becomes interested in @ chorus girl who works him. Learning her true character. he gives her up but is thereafter blackmailed with a baby. Later the girl dies. King raises the child, a boy, but refuses to aeknowl- edge his parenthood He marries a girl who knows nothing of this incident. Wendell, the boy. now young man, is expelled from college and takes up his residence at the former home of King g wife. He is visited by Mrs King, and in a rnaudlin drunken states attacks her. In the struggle she kills him. The coroner finds a verdict of suicide. Next day Mrs. King confesses to her husband. Thinking the murdered boy his he turns from her. The chorus girls mother comes to col iect her hush" money, and when King refuses, she tells him that the boy was not his own and threatens to tell tfs world of his ridiculous position. Her story, however, has just the opposite eff feet. King is glad the boy was not his son. He goes to his wife, who has be- come a mother, and a touching reconcl- iation follows.

 The snow sifted down on the play CTS and on Miss Mayo's Lucille gown and on MT. WalthalIs straw hat. Be- tween scenes Miss Mayo wrapped her self up loosely in an overeoat. She couldn't wear a tight wrap, Tor fear of crushing the dainty dress.
 It was ,cold and uncomfortable but not once did Miss Mayo shiver while the camera man was turning the crank and in the film she appears to be as carefree and comfortable as if she were at a Palm Beach afternoon tea
 The gown, the newest thing for sum mer afternoon wear, is of lowered taf- feta in lavender blue, with an organdy embroidered overdress and sleeves The hat matches and has lace brin and handmade flowers Tn front are two tiny pockets.

Buildings

From Judge.
 Buildings are contrivances which sur round trouble, despair, pleasure, enter tainment, business, incidence and plumb ing.
 cement, wood. steel and mortgages. II also takes sand to build buildings, but they should not be built on sand.
 Some buildings are public, and some are private. Public buildings are usually very imposing, and usually the public has been imposed upon to build them. Pri- vate buildings are frequently private in name only, especially if occupied by sew eral inquisitive women. Such buildings are made up of a large number of stories, and most of them are without foundation.
 Rats, mise fires. earthquakes and rent collectors are buildings worst enemies.

Manager l.. F. Leftwich of the Odeon Two theatre announced yesterday that he had secured the second showing of Birmingham In other words this noted serial which was started some weeks ago in another theatre will begin at the Odeon Two on Wednesday. This will give patrons of the movies who have missed certain episodes of "The Strange Case of Mary Page to come to the Odeon Two this week and in coming weeks and catch up.
 Wednesday in the future at the Odeon Two will be a special feature day. Be- sides showing chapters of The Strange Case of Mary Page" the Pathe-B Balbo serial, "The Red Circle" will also be offered to the patrons of the Odeon Two, now recognized as the most popular pho- toplay house in Birmingham.
 Tt is advertising that has done it all,'' said Manager Leftwich, especially ad- vertising in The Age-Herald Everyone now recognizes the fact that The Age. Herald has the only moving picture page in the south and I have discovered that advertising in that page pays a large return on the investment
 Owing to the popular demand for The Strange Case of Mary Page" I have decided to start this serial at the Odeon Two on Wednesday and in con junction run The Red Circle and call the Wednesday programme the special serial day. Both the stories of The Strange Case of Mary Page and The

 Cecil B. De Mile has made truly artistic picture out of the now famous story and play of John Fox, Jr It might be described as picture of the better sort" He has had the best of material to work with in story drama and cast, and he has overlooked no opportunities, so far as we can see, to provide telling situations. and "punch''-if we may be . allowed to coin a phrase
 Artistry announces it's presence in va Arious ways; most of them are subjective, 1but nearly all of them may be defined as the right thing, done at the right ttrne and the artist is the person who can pick the right time.
 We do not care to be more explicit than this as regards the notes of artistry iYl this picture, but no one who sees 1t will fail to note that they are there. Melodrana, it is. but not mawkish mel odrama, and 1t is never allowed to carry its mel1Sramatics too far.

 of this release. Miss Walkers work is
 convincing and finished. We pass lightly over the fact that as
 a screen figure she does not please us
 personally, but there are enough thou sands who do like her.
 In this play she is June the daughter of a moonshiner and beloved of her cousin. When the revenue officer ar-
 rives, she entices him to the cabin, where
 he is seized and made prisoner. Imme-
 diately the two fall in love. The cousins jealousy is aroused, and
 he locks the officer in the COW stable,
 whence he escapes by burning his bonds. He organizes posse and returns for the
 moonshiners, who escape from their be- leaguered cabin after June has held up the man she loves, with a rifle. The moonshiners escape.

 It's all right to be moving picture actress in the summertime, but it's tough in the winter.
 In filming "The Strange Case of Mary Page" at the Essanay studios in Chicago 1t was necessary to take a summer scene in which Edna Mayo, co-starring with Henry Walthall in the series. had to wear an organdy and taffeta summer gown, designed by Lu- cile.
 Now, Chicago in the wintertime is not just the proper place to wear a summer garden dress. J. Charles Haydon, who is directing The Strange Case of Mary Page didn't care, how ever, for directors can wear overcoats and sweaters while they work. He had garden, bedecked with flowers and vines, erected in the big new Es- sanay studio building and called Miss Mayo and Mir. Walthall for the sum men scene. The studio was not en-

The Duty Of a Congressman.

The Middlebury Register quite cor
rectly defines the status of congress
man when it says: Somehow we
have had the notion that Vermont
sends her two senators and her two
congressman to Washington to repre-
sent her in the framing of national
legislation-to exercise their best
judgment, after careful study of the
points at issue and the give and take
of discussion with fellow-representa-
tives from every quarter of the land
They should familiarize themselves,
Of course, with the views of their con-
stituents-those views are one Of the
factors in the problems up for so!n-
tion-but that constituents should
continually lombard their represent
atives with instructions as to how to
vote is thoroughly illogical and little
short of impertinent; no self-respect-
ing representatives will submit to
being made a machine to register the
hastily gathered judgments of distant
and. in many instances, ill-informed
constituents"
A constituent very often has a sell
fish interest that is in opposition to
public welfare in directing a con-
gresham how to vote. Very few
common citizens are as thoroughly
informed on a public question as a
congressman who is on the ground
and has heard both sides of the mat
ter discussed. A striking illustra-
ton of this is the rural credits bill
which has just passed congress and
which contains provision that may
remove a large amount of capital
from taxation in Vermont. The con-
gresham has the opportunity to fully
inform himself on the merits of a
measure and should do so and then
act as he believes is for the public
good. If he is to have no judgment
in the matter why should we main
tain a congress at such an immense
expense? We should simply maintain
a secretary at Washington to record
the voters desires.
A congressman should be an eXper
in the matter of making laws anC
possessed of more complete informa-
ton than his constituents. And we
certainly will have better laws made
by experts than we can get from
Tom, Dick and Harry. Let us place
on our lawmakers the full response
bility of favoring only those laws they
believe to be for the best interests
seat the partially informed man whC
thinks he knows it all.
