 Pathe's peerless fearless girl" Pearl White has just received the most unique tribute ever paid to a picture or theatrical star
 Two million fighting Frenchmen, reading of her exploits in the great Paris newspaper .Le Matin,' became eager to see her on the screen and while on their six days furlough from the front thronged the Parisian the aters where The Exploits of Elaine was showing under the title of Les Mysteres de New York Unfortunately they were able in their six days to see but a few episodes which made them reflect upon Sherman's immortal state ment with regard to war. However their eagerness to see all the episodes was so great that representations were made before the Office of the Minister of War In due time the house of Pathe in Paris was requested by the war office to make arrangements to show the entire serial each week for l the benefit of the soldier fans on fur tough.
 | Accordingly a circuit has been ar ranged, and Pearl White now plays to vast audiences of bearded uniformed l men, fresh from the shock of war, who 1 find in the great Pathe serial that re- l laxation from strain which is so much needed.
 This is the same Pearl who is now at the Plaza in 'The Iron Claw" which shows again today.
