Daniel Frohman presents Marguerite

SEVEN SISTERS"
"Seyen Sisters" deals with the efforts
of widow in typical Hungarian town
to marry off her seven daughters which
Is much more serious and ceremonious
matter In Hungary than 1t could ever be
In this country. Out of her struggles to
find them husbands, according to their
ages, to keep the younger ones out of
sight until the elder sisters are properly
disposed of, and assume the appearance
of adequate youth in all of them, arises
the fun of this excruciatingly humorous
photo-play.
Marguerite Clark as the principal of
the seven sisters is wholly captivating.
The originality of the idea and the at
tractiveness of its characters and situa.
tions combine to make photoplay which
every one will 60 to see, and which every
one will send his or her friends to go tt
see.
The five parts that make up the pro-
duction fill an evening with laughter

THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW"
Belonging to one of the finest families
in Virginia, the son of old Judge Kent of
the Circuit Court, and bethrothed to
beautiful Virginia Fairfax, young jack
son Kent had everything before him.
When the pearls stolen at Col. Monroe's
ball were found in his overcoat pocket
and he would make no explanation jack
sons future was blasted.
He left the county seat and was not
heard of again until his indictment in
Evansville for embezzlement from the
local bank. 1t did not help him any that
his father by the irony of fate should sit
on the case; rather made it harder.
Judge Kent imposed the maximum sent
ence, ten years. The spectacle Of the
father on the bench. forced by his sense
of honor and duty to sentence his owr
son was one of the saddest sights in the
history of Evans county.
The unravelling of the tangle and tn,
discovery of the real culprit gives thu
county seat chance for rejoicing. L

Dublin, September 2S.-(special Core.
spondence.)-No one doubts that as the
result Of the events of last spring a pow
erful demand has arisen, not only in
England and Ireland, but throughout the
British empire, for a real settlement OF
the Irish question. Here in Dublin, espe-
eially, the conviction of the necessity for
some programme which shall do more
than temporize with the situation is deep
and abiding.
The Dublin problem is extraordinary.
The Sim Fem rebellion directed against
England, harmed her, of course, for it
distracted her attention for the moment
from the greater war which she is wag-
ing, and made it necessary for her to
use in Ireland a certain number of fight
ing men whom she might well have used
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-10-15
DUBLIN RESENTS THE MOB

Dublin, think as whole, today re-
sents the entire Sim Fem movement
and the existence of the organization
There was something of reaction
gainst the government as a result OF
the executions. but the Dubliner, prone
to quick and emphatic first-thought
born of impulse, is as capable as any
one of calm aftcfthought, and his after
thought now is largely influenced by
the spectacle of his ruined city, and
the feel OF his empty pockets.
There was no high politics, but there
was a good deal of feeling in the words
Of the jaunting-ca driver who said
to me:
pom thin Shnn F-a-y-ners!
amt averagin' three-shillng's tn
da-a-a-ay since they exshploded."
The public house keepers, already
struck hard by the defense of the
realm liquor control regulations, find
themselves additionally handicapped by
the hard times following the riots and
n new mascularity in the hand of the
la v upon the throat of the bottle.
1t is doubtful if any public house
keeper in Dublin (they are known here
by the good old Biblical term of pub
licans") would stay his hand or fail
to have in it a good blackthorn shile-
lah if he found whispering indicating
now conspiracies going on within his
premises. DuDiln puDl1canS are IN al
most a fearful state, fearful that abb
stemous habits, born of European war
conditions and multiplied by civil war
conditions, may become permanent For
the first time in their history they
have become strict advocates of firm
police control of everything beneath
tile Irish sun.
CLERGY WORKING FOR PEACE
little higher in the scale of pros
perity and much lower in the scale OF
influence are the managers of
the big hotels. Imagine their
feelings as they scan the roster of
their rooms and see 80 per cent of them

/ talked with him one day for the bet
ter part of an hour having been intro
duced to him as the friend of a friend
and not as journalist. During that
hour he spoke more hopefully of the
Irish situation than any Irishman I
met in Dublin save Sir Horace Punk
EFT, and all his plans were for securing
to the Irish prosperity as the best
means of restoring tranquility in the
turbulent little land. Evidently the ex-
ecutions had been to him one of those
horrid details of military service which
men all over Europe in these days
accepting with a stolidity which be-
lies their real revolt against war and
all it's horrors
l have been astonished to dnd that in
Ireland-the real Ireland-the real Irish
are not without their British patriotism
There are evidences that the situation is
somewhat kin to that within family
which squabbles and even fights tooth
and nail in it's own private and comfor-
table little circle, but which intensely re-
sents and will stand together against
any outside interference. / believe the
fate of an intervening German military
force in Ireland would be like that which
so often has befallen New York po-
liceman who has tried to interfere in an
East Side family row. Both sides may
have shouted for his aid, but when he
comes both sides will turn on him to

at the front Many still are in Ireland
who were things more settled here,
might be in the trenches
But even at that the real loss of the
Dublin riots fell not upon England, but
upon Ireland. Practically all the prop
erty destroyed was Irish. l think only
one government building was seriously
damaged-the postoffice, occupied as a
fort by the rebels-and that merely needs
a new interior. So solid are the walls
that they stand practically unframed,
although they were raked by machine
gun fire and pounded, here and there, by
projectiles from weapons of larger cali
bre, and although they were baked by q
raging conflagration which utterly de-
streyed all parts of the structure save
them and some very firm and fine parti-
ton walls.
NOTHING OF REBUILDING DONE
That postonice building must have been
a perfect sample Of the honest solidity of
construction which marked British gov
ernmental work in the last generation.
1t would have withstood the San Fran
cisco earthquake.
Its superiority over ordinary construc
ton is indicated by the gaping holes and
tragic piles of ruins which still mark
the sites of other important, nongovern-
mental buildings in the mob-StrIcken
city.
Nothing of Importance anywhere has
been done to conceal or repair the
damage of the crazy days. A few OF
the buildings have been dressed up
by packing putty or some other com
position into the bullet holes which
mar their walls. this process making
these marks of combat little more
conspicuous than are the thousands
which have not been touched upon 9TH
err buildings.
In the Shelbourne hotel, where guests
hid some of them crouching under
beds for the greater part of the several
days of fighting, new windows have
been installed and everything is as OF
yore, save the character of the guests.
Now these are principally British
army officers, who stoically accept the
fate which has placed them in Ireland
instead of France during these great
war days, finding their unhappy plight
somewhat mitigated by the fact that
they may have with them in Ireland
wives, sisters and mothers who scarce
ly could be with them in the dug-outs
along the Somme.

These Irish soldiers in the British army
did not come entirely from one part OF

wonderful proportion of them. Their

mothers, their fathers, elder and younger

look askance upon movement which

Irish troops are fighting, and against the
civilization for which, in such gallant
numbers, they are bleeding and dying.

Another matter worthy of moments
comment is the attitude of Gen Sir

the more rabid of the Irish newspa-

cause to him fell the tragically I'M
pleasant duty of conducting the ex-
ecutions following the Sim Fein revolt,
but he doesn't mind that in the least,
for he thinks it does not represent tho

In England the women have been the

AS matter of fact, week in Dublin

OF the executions, which, of course, Ire

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-10-15

suggests that the Sim Fein movement
s(the first word is pronounced as if
1t were spelled Shinn, by the way) is
gaining in strength, rather than losing
but I venture to believe in spite of
this statement that this is not true in
Dublin. Here the wrath of the shop
keeper and householder class is in
tense against the rioters who started"
that which ended in such Shooting
up" as no western American town ever
received, even in the happy days of
real cowboys and undoubted gambling
bells. Not only was the revolution"
accompanied by looting entailing loss
not covered by any insurance policy,
but the city was given the name of
being dangerous.
This new reputation keeps what
little tourist traffic continues in these
war days away from Dublin. During
two weeks stay 1 saw not one Ameri-
can, although London is not bare of
them, and the large number of Eng
lish vacationists who, ordinarily, would
have turned to Ireland for their 1oii-
day. now that cannon and military
passport system, perhaps more dread
full than a sixty five" bar their prog
ress to the continent, have turned to
more peaceable and less risky Scotland
and Wales.
