FOX'S CARMEN with
ThEDA BARA AT THE
MAJESTIC TWO DAYS

Eimar Linden plays the part of Don
Jose and Theda Bara the title role in
the Fox companys filming of Car
men," which will be at the Majestic
Monday and Tuesday. The William
Fox photoplay bears little relation to
the dramatic content and course of the
like named opera and scarcely more to
the tale of Merlmee, whence Meilhac
and Halevy drew their text and Incl
dents for music. 1t shows the SNUG
glers landing goods upon the shore and
planning to convey them illicitly in
land to the town. II visualzes their
failure to turn Jose, on guard at the
wall, from his duty, and the proposal
of Carmen to WOO and win him. The
films then unroll scenes of seduction
between Carmen and Jose in the tav-
ern. in the course of which the ar
rival of the bull-fighter and his sub
sequent amorous interchanges with
the girl are pictured. Scenes of work
in the cigarette factory next traverse
the screen making way for the scene
at the wall in which the smugglers bear
their goods through the breach while
Carmen and Jose, hard by, toy amor
ously. Next a fight among the cigar
cite girls is represented in which Car
men is a lusty participant and into
which the soldiery came to take her
into turbulent custody
After brief and relatively tranquil
interlude. a second fight is pictured
this time in the tavern, between Jose
and another soldier, with Carmen as
an excited and pleased spectator on an
oVerhanging staircase. A few more
length of the films suffice to show
. her WEAKNESS of Jose. her reading Of
impending death on the cards, and her
journey into the town with the DULL
fighter. A street before the ring with
the crowd that fills it then appears on
the screen and the remaining pictures
cut hack and forth between the course
of the bull-fight within; the haggard
waiting of Jose without; and the death
of Carmen at his hands.
This country is indebted to the Eu-
ropean war for the welcome presence
of Eimar Linden in the role of Don
Jose. He was in Berlin, where in
opera he had created one big part after
another for three years, and had made
so splendid a success in Ernst Dohn-
ange's pantomime, Der Schleier der
Pierette," that he was called the best
mimic in Germany.

NEMyNOTESS 71MpQIELAND
S 6yDAISY DEAN ~

TIN Jeanne Dore," the first Of the
Blue Bird Photoplays, Sarah
Bernhard appears as the
| n mother of youth whose
father committed suicide after
ruin at the gaming tables. The widow
and her son keep a small shop in
small town, and live happily together
until vampire appears and infatuates
the young man. The unhappy mother
sees her son drawn further away from
her; finds her agonized prayers un-
answered. Finally the boy, trying to
gain money to aid his heartless mis-
tress, murders his uncle. His mother
helps him to escape. But it is in vain.
The youth returns. not to see his
mother, but to visit the woman who
caused his downfall. While on this
visit he is captured; he is brought to
trial and is condemned to death. The
real tragedy for the mother is yet to
come. In his extremity, the youth
thinks only of the vampire-who has
already come TO regard him as a thing
of the past; and the mother sacrifices
her opportunity of a last word with
her son in order to give him comfort
She impersonates the other woman, and
then she witnesses, alone in her grief,
the execution.
1t is a somber story. dependent for
its effect on the emphasization of its
sheer tragedy. The tragedy centers in
the figure Of Bernhard in her role of
Jeanne. One feels that the atmosphere
which pervades every scene emanates
directly from her. Always she incar-
mates the spirit of the play; and in the
last scene. as the film darkens, all its
woe seems to be summed up in her ex-
preston as she gazes across the fatal
courtyard.

and capable engineer. Backed by the
reform element, he obtains the con-
tract fo- a large dam to be construct

ciates feel that their graft will be eX-
posed if the younger man successfully
completes the work at a much lower
Ggure than their own. They invite
Harding to dinner at Walton's house

not succeed. He meets Masha again,
and a bond is established anew be-

UNPLEDGED SLATE
EXPECTED IN MASS.
Primary Campaign Ends With
Much Bitterness in Re-

BIRD UNDER CRITICISM

BosroN, April 2<.-Massachusetts will
choose tomorrow four delegates At large
and t%hirty.two district delegates to the
Republican national convention and ar
equal number to the Democratic national
convention. with a%lternates for each.
There is no contest over the Demo-
cratic delegates, but the Republican prim-
AIRY campatsn, which closed tonight
with scattered rallies by both Roosevelt
and unpledged forces. has been extremely
bitter. Those who predicted that a con-
test In the Republican ranks would be a
great thing for the Oarty have been
disappointed.
Much III feeling has been created and
split of four years ago, which seemed AL
most healed. has been %reopened.
The conduct OF Charles Sumner Bird,
a recent convert from the Progressive
fold, has incensed the Republicans who
stood by the party o u years ago They
resent his efforts to run things and
they propose to show him that he is only
a private in the ranks and not a field
marshal.
