Peace Advocate Believes Plays
Like "War's Women" Have
Excellent Effect.
HELP CREATE DISCUSSION
Also Aid Preparedness With
Vivid Scenes Of Wars Dark
est Side.

The motion picture producers In
all sections of the world are begin
ming to build picture plays about
the stories that have come out re-
sarding the lights and shadows of
the great European war with even
u. more fervor than they showed at
the beginning of the struggle.
Within the past few months there
have been several spectacular pro-
auctions on a broad scale telling Of
the horrors Of war, produced with a
faithfulness of detail and q wealth
OF local color that led many pic
ture patrons to think the films had
actually been produced within the
war zone. A prominent peace adj
vocate has stated that hlm plays
will do much toward making war
impossible in the future.
Few of these pictures gave more
than single episode or developed
q big theme, however. 1t has re-
manned for Thomas II. Ince, the
Triangle magnate, and producer. OF
the big spectacle play, "Civiiiza-
tion," soon to be seen here, TO de-
velop a war story In film that Is
based on a big general theme, the
horrors of war as they are felt by
women. The play is called Wars
Women" and Washingtonians will
be given their first opportunity to
see Il at the Strand Theater next
week.
Directed by Ince.
This play Is not generally adver-
tised as a production of Mr.. Ince,
as Il was not desired that 1t should
compete with the Triangle produc-
angle program. 1t Is an open secret,
however, that It was produced I'M
der the personal supervision OF the
director OF great spectacle plays
and that he gave II his personal d.
rection in many OF Its scenes.
To tell the complete story OF the
play would be to destroy its Velue
to the motion picture patron. II Is
q story of daring character, now
ever. II was suggested by the
press reports of some OF the crimes
that were said to have been commit
ted in Belgium In the carry days OF
the war. Z. Gardner sullivan, who
wrote the scenario. utilized the
meager facts that were gwen him.
and built up a most dramatic story
that is full of genuine thrills.
The big features of the play. aside
from the unusual settings that nave
been given II, are the actins OF
Frank keenan,. who has the chiet
part, and of Enid Marley. who APP
pears in the leading womans role;
Film critics declare the work OF
both these artists Is the best they
have ever dore in films, and Mr..
Keenan's work approaches the best
thing he has ever done on the stage.
Like war Brides" the film YER
sion of which with Nasimova In the
principal part will also be seen here
shortly, WARS Women" Is essentially
an argument for peace It preoents
such a vivid picture of the darker
side of war that 1t makes a strong
argument.

PENN STATE TEAM
SHARPENS ATTACK
. FOR PITT ELEVEN

State College, Penn. Nov. 22.-Penn
States eleven sharpened its attack for
the Pittsburgh struggle in long secret
scrimmage practice to-day. Coach Her
mann and his freshman pupils worked
against patched-up varsity team
until long after nightfall.
Harlow's new plays, which were
oiven to the men yesterday and learned
in signal practice to-day, were tried
out in scrmmage. Although the new
offence looked fairly good, there was
considerable raggedness in the back
field. This was attributed to ne alb.
sence of Captain Clark and Beck and
to the fact that their substitutes have
not vet mastered the new plays.
Beck came back from Pittsburgh to-
day and announced that he would be
in shape for the Thanksgiving Day
game. An injury received last season
and regarded as cured has been the
cause of Becks poor condition all faii,
according to the specialist who treated
him.
Cubbage played left end to-day and
Thorpe, Robb, Hess and Gross made
IN the backfeld.

SCRUBS PERFECT
COLGATE PLAYS
FOR BROWN TEAM

Providence, R. T., Nov. 22.-The
Brown football men were given an
other light practice by the coaches
this afternoon. No scrimmage was
held, the squad being simply given an
hours snappy signal drill. Thirty-two
men reported.
The major part of the afternoon was
spent in drilling in various formations,
the two opposing elevens being changed
often. The varsity lineup was some
what changed from that which went
against Harvard and Yale. Captain
Farnum and Devitalis and Williams did
not break into the lineup, merely jog
ging around the field.
Pollard was on the field, but did not
practice, while Purdy, Weeks and
Ormsby did not report at all. Brace
filled in at centre and Ray Ward got
back into his old place at left tackle
with Spagna working alongside. Teets
was at right tackle and Donovan al
right end
Murphy did all of the work at quar-
terback. with Jemail and Amman as
halfbacks and Hillhouse at fullback
Conroy is fast coming around all rlgnI
and will be used against Colgate, in all
probability.
The seconds continued using Colgate
formations under the coaching of Buck
Whittemore, who saw Colgate play LAST
Saturday, and either tomorrow or FRI
day the seconds will use these plays
against the varsity,
The coaches are especially anxious
to see what the varsity will do against
the Colgate style Of play.

JACK WEINHEIMER
STARS IN DRILL
OF N. Y. u. TEAM

A special corps Of student scntinels
kept Ohio Field and It's environs clear
Of spectators yesterday afternoon while
the varsity and second team worked
through long scrimmage. The plays
that will be used in the game against
Columbia were worked, and the scrub
was unable to stop them. Jack Wein-
heimer broke away for q couple Of long
runs that might have resulted In touch
downs, but once . man cleared the last
tackler Eustis called him back Tho
first string men had no difficulty in
clearing the line.
Captain Bernstein rejoined the team,
but did not attempt to don his football
toys. His leg has not fully recovered,
and he leaned upon q cane as he fol-
lowed the plays. He is the only one OF
the varsity that is not in condition to
start on Saturday. Hard work will end
to-day, and tomorrow the team will DO
put through the customary signal drill
and then will attend The hnai oiack-
board lecture Of the year.
Ebcrhard worked at fullback for
long time, and did well. This boy is a
big, strong chap, who develops world
Of power in hitting the line. He wades
along, il would seem, for he obeys none
Of the rules of football in his rushing.
He comes In standing up almost
straight, but he manages to go right
along. He probably will get into ths
game, but Tedford Cam will doubtless
start at fullback. -,
The lineup against Columbia viii
probably be: "a
Carroll, left end; Buchsbaum, lefs
tackle: Ponterey, left guard; Brin,
centre; Jordan, right guard; Sokolower,
right tackle; Egan, right end; Mac
Kenzie, quarterback; Weinheimer. rishs
halfback; Howard Cam, left halfback;
Tedford Cam, fullback.

HOCKEY SEvENS
GETTING READY
FOR BIG SEASON
New York A. c. Said To Be
Planning to Have Team
in League
By FRED HAWTHORNE

The St. Nicholas Skating Rink is all
ready for the opening Of the regular
season Of the Amateur Hockey League.
The persons who do their own skst-
ing on the ice have been thronging the
rink for several weeks now, and tSey
have found numerous improvements
installed since the close of last season.
For one thing. the surface of the ice
is scraped after each skating session,
a real. live horse drawing the scraper.
Joe Hoblitz, head instructor AZ the
rink. sits on the seat and handles the
reins over his spirited charger with the
skill OF Pop" Geers. The new dec
orations are artistic, many colored Lam
terms shedding their light over the ice.
At the western end of the rink, where
the skaters sit on the platform to rest,
a forty-foot cushion has been placed.
But below stairs the greatest trans
formation has been wrought. The en-
tire interior has been made over and
the ST. Nicholas, the Hockey Club Of
New York and the Irish-Amerlcan
teams have their own private club
rooms. Two new organizations, the
Brokers' Skating Club and the Artists
Skating Club. composed OF members OF
those professions, also have private
rooms there, and then for the generai
public, of the masculine sex, there is
an ample locker room, with shower
baths.
Above the rink proper, on the mez-
amin. door at the western end Of the
building. there are rest and locker
rooms FOR women, and comfort Is car
ried almost to the extremes. In TACT,
for such a strenuous sport as hockey,
some of the veteran players are apt 10
consider the new arrangement as
tending to coddling.
The new Kinks opened in New York
City this season are but another evil
dence of the tremendous hold skating
has taken upon the American people.
The movement is nationwide and
shows signs of increasing indefinitely.
John f. Davidson, the professional en-
ployed at the st. Nicholas Rink, re-
turned from Europe last week and re-
ported that the craze had even struck
London, in spite of the war.
Although the British War Depart
ment has taken over nearly every ice
rink in the country for army and navy
uses, the English people skate when
and where they can. mostly at the
aires that have miniature Kinks. Even
members of the nobility have taken up
the sport, and Davidson believes that
as soon as the last shot has been fired in
the war, everybody who has saved two
good legs out of the melee will take to
the steel runners.
In the United States, according to
Davidson, there is hardly a city of
more than 10000 population that has
not its own ice skating rink, all built
within the laat year.
