in motion pictures, Miss Clark, by her tremendous powers as a dramatic act ress will add to her laurels as photo player. It is seldom that a young actress who gains popularity as an in 5enue rises to any considerable heights in emotional expression. Therefore the performance of Miss Clark in still Waters is one of the most notable of recent screen achievements.
 For the scenes which transpire in and about the circus. an entire travel ing show was leased by the Famous Players, and Harry La Pearl, one of the most celebrated clowns that ever appeared at the New York Hippo Grome, was especially engaged to play opposite Miss Clark. These circus scenes, many of which combine daring performances with thrilling dramatic action. are the best that have ever been obtained in any tent show.

 Some idea of the magnitude of the production may be sleaned from the fact that in support of the company there was introduced 16.00O National Guardsmen 500 c. A.

 The author, J. Stuart Blackton, re- ceived many suggestions as to the scenario from a num1er of army and navy officers and officials of the fed eral government. While the series of thrilling pictures is frankly a call to arms against war there is also a strong vein of romance and human in tercst in the film play.
 The pictures were made under the direction of Wilfrid North and one of the factors that has carried The Bat tie Croy of Peace" to popularity is the personality of the chief actor, Charles Richman.

 During a conversation between two screen actors one of them characterized Romaine Fielding as the Kitchener of Pictures
 EaIl Kitchener. he went on. has the reputation for being one of the greatest disciplinarians in the British army. He will tolerate nothing sloth- ful, he expects from his men the full qualities of the soldier.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION STANDS
 ALONE WITH ITS RECORD

D. w. Gri1fith's wonder spectacle. The Birth of a Nation," has just closed at the Liberty theater the most remarkable run ever known in the his tory of the American drama and which also sets new high record for long runs in New York City. The great production was presented in New York for S04 consecutive performances to a great attendance of SIP, ,000 people. James Mctcalf. the master critic of Life, estimates from these figures that one in every four of the available the aterSoers of the metropolis saw Grif- fiths masterpiece before it's New York run ended.
 Thc former record of the New York stage was held by Hoyts "A Trip to Chinatown" which ended a run of 670 performances in August, 1892. Prior to that Henry F. DiXey in "Adonis' held the record for 654 per formances. The nearest approach to this was the record of Laurette Fay ior in Peg O My Heart" who ran for Goi performances in 1912-14.
 The prices of the Griffith spectacle, which was the first combination of the photo drama and musical spectacle ever given to the world ranged from 25 cents to S200 The average paiG attendance was about 7S cents per capita, making total gross receipts for the New York run of over $600.- coo. This is the greatest take fo" this space of time ever known by any the atrical offering in the world, as these figures have been amplified by record breaking runs simultaneously in Chi cago, Boston. Philadelphia Pittsburg, St. Louis and Atlantic City, x. J. About this time and since twelve companies have been touring the cen tral and eastern states under the Grif- fith direction to enormous business, and gross weekly receipts often eX- ceeding $125, 5,000 In addition the spectacle has run 22 weeks in Los Angeles and T. weeks in San Francis co to it's credit and has turned its Tooth performance in London, England. over 5,000,000 people have seen the production.

In his workout with Heracl last

trick in the game to bring John to his
real fghting temper But Heracl did
not mind these edgings and, keeping
cool. forced most of the fighting, while
at the same time he paid particular
attention 10 his defensive work.
