Rose Brett, prepared either for sur render or war from Cora and David Temple, waited for him to declare which it was to be. David handed her Cora's letter, in which she refused to back down into oblivion and become the nonentity Mrs. Brett desired her to be, yet promising not to use wom- ans keenest weapon-sex-in keeping Carter Bretts sympathy and business support. Rose read the letter imper- turbably and returned it to David.
 That means" she said quietly, that it will be difficult for you to re- main with us as architect. I'm sorry, David"
 David walked over, holding Roses attention by the sternness of his man. ner. You surprise me anu--' he hesitated little.
 "Y-e-s-go on,' challenged Mrs. Brett.
 and disappoint me-disillusion me-" he finished firmly.
 Really! Oh, David Temple, what an ordinary thing to say!"
 Tt is you who are ordinary in this situation, Rose," he answered gravely. Here you are, a woman exceptional in ability and force and in the power at your command. Yet the first mo- ment an opponent confront you, you do the commonplace thing, the ordi- nary thing, the most disappointing thing. You use your power not to face the fight, but to have the opponent re- moved. And how? By an appeal to your husband to dismiss me as archi- tect because my wife insists on man. aging her own life and having a hand in the development plans of the place we all live in. I thought you wom- man who needed no man to come to her rescue. That is why I am disap- pointed
 Rose Brett, for all her executive force, was very much woman. It was hard to have man she liked ex- press disappointment in her. She flushed and walked to the window. Spare yourself and me your disap- pointment," she said. Whatever I do to combat your wife's interference I shall do myself not through my hus- band"
 
 you said-that Cora must yield to you or I must resign my place here," David challenged. Cora will not re- treat and IT, Rose, will not resign unless your husband orders me to do it."
 Mrs. Brett was silent moment. David took advantage of her indecis- ion. You're too big woman, Rose, to fight in petty way" he said in a lower, more intimate tone. "It is not retreat for you to take back your ulti- matum. It is advance. You abandon a smaller field of battle for a larger one. You will fight, not through your husband, but through your own strength"
 1T notice your wife does not stoop to fight through my husband" Rose said, delicate scorn in her voice, which did not disguise the touch of concern in it. It was David's turn to feel flicked.
 "She has promised she will not fight through him. he said. That is, as a woman"
 Let her use whatever weapons she has," said Rose proudly, ''she will find me an interesting opponent"
 "There!" David exclaimed in tone of ardent, spontaneous admiration which surprised them both. There speaks the woman I took you to be- big, able, courageous creative and"
 And very much a womanw Rose added softly, giving back look for look.

crashing crescendos, wherein are heard the booming of great guns, the screaming of shells and the droning of bullets, mn- gled with cries of the wounded and shouts of triumph and despair.
 So great an artist of tonal technique is MT. Herbert, and so intense Is the inter- est in the play that a rare combination is afforded by composer and author to show it's real beauty that exists between these two kindred arts
 THE ACTORS.
 The work of Miss Flora Macdonald as Angela, the Italian woman, stands out re- markedly. Her emotional acrlng is per- fectly done Miss Lorraine Hulng as Vir- ginia sustains difficult role admirably and Arthur Shirley as Vassar is a com manding figure at all times. Percy Standing does adequate work as the traitor. Waldron, and splendid bit of character acting is supplied by Phillip Castrock Temasso. Angela's husband Paul Willis is good as Billy, Virginia's s brother, and Leila Frost as Zonia his child sweetheart, is appealing. The other characters are we'll sustained.
 "The Fall of Nation" is beyond doubt a great advance in the art of the photo drama. Many will of course compare it with it's predecessor, "The Birth of a Ma tion, but they should remember in doing so that the great MT. Shakespeare had warned us that comparisons are odious," and in this case very unfair, as the latter picture held closely to purely historical happenings, while "The Fall of a Nation" is imaginative to a degree.
 "The Fall of a Nation is big picture, marvelously presented and should be wit messed by everybody, everywhere.
 It is superbly produced on a magnificent scale and is one of the really 'big" pie lures of the day.

In other words, it pictures in films how lacking we are in proper defense against an alien foe. a foreign country and later in the hands New Workers have been deaf to the warn ings of preparedness, the invaders have crept into the city in the dark of the night and have demanded that everybody salute their Emperor. Patriots, because of re- fusal to comply with the demand, are shot down like cattle. However, body of patriots all fired with their love for in dependence and the Stars and Stripes start revolution that ultimately rescues the city from the hands of the foreign in vaders and peace and happiness again reign supreme
 During the evolution of the story many thrilling battle scenes are enacted with such realism that one would imagine they were on the actual field of battle rather than in comfortable theatre chair. Many of the implements of modern war fare are also brought into the great fea- ture in a most interesting way.
 The series of events is cleverly woven together by a pretty love story which ar rests interest from the very beginning and sustains it until the final reel.
 Mechanically speaking, the film is prob- ably more elaborate than anything that has gone before. The workings of the big guns the battlefield scenes, with shells bursting in the trenches are realistic in the extreme One marvels that there were not actual fatalities in the making of the picture.

@ NE of the things that impressed the II y Movie" fans at the premier per S> formance in Birmingham at the Strand yesterday of MT. Thomas Dixon's much heralded photoplay, "The Fall of a Nation" was the absence of any familiar names on the programme to play the .'big" parts in the great preparedness-or should it be said "unpreparedness" spectacle.
 This was a surprise, of course; but a much more pleasanter surprise occurred before many reels had been run off. when the vast audience realized that MT. Dixon had proved himself a good judge when he selected his players, showing that in 'The Fall of Nation" the tendency which many producers have of attempt ing to foist on the public big names with poor material, which is the bane of the moving picture industry today, has been reversed, and that good material was first provided and then players equally as good as those with "big' names had been employed to interpret the story.
 The same thing happened in "The Birth of a Nation" for, who knew Henry w.. Walthall or Lillian Gish, or Mary Alden, or Ralph Lewis or the rest until this greatest of all photoplays was shown?
 THE PLAY.
 The film play, enhanced by wonderful musical setting by Victor Herbert, is one of the most realistic things of it's kind that has yet been done upon the screen. It adds another laurel to the wreath of it's creator, whose previous triumph, 'The Birth of a Nation," has already made him popular with film fans throughout the country.
 ''The Fall of a Nation,' as perhaps suggested by the title, breaches prepared ness. It differs from other attempts along these lines in that it brings it's story and action right to the doors of New.Y Yorkers.

Let the Republicans also
Nominate Wilson.

Were Woodrow Wilson n Republican
President, with record of achievement
identical with his record as Demo
cratic President, the Republicans
would renominate him by a6elimation
They would point to the revision Of
the tariff under his admission as the
fulfillment of Mckinley dying pledge
which Roosevelt shirled and in which
Taft failed.
They would point to the banking
and currency law as the greatest piece
off financial legislation yet enacted--a
law which has made it possible for the
United States not only To weather sue
cessfully the most dcvasting war in
human history, but to aspire to the
financial mastery of the world.
They would point to the income-tax
law which as n just and equitable means
of making wealth bear its due proper
ton of the cost of government, for
which the Republican Party was en-
titled to a double share of credit be
cause a Republican Congress had sub
mitted the amendment to the Constitu-
ton which made the levying of an in
come tax possible.
They would point TO the corporation
tax as the extension of an act which
the Republican Party originated and
which helped TO transfer to organized
capital some of the burdens of govern
ment previously borne by poverty and
labor.
They would point TO the repeal of the
coastwise provision of the Panama
Canal tolls act as proof that the United
States is faithful to its treaty pledges,
and cannot be swayed from the ways
of international honor and justice bv
the mercenary greed of special interests
They would point TO the Federal
Trade Board as progressive measure
of constructive legislation by which
honest and law abiding business was
protected from indiscriminate prose
sution and enabled to work in harmony
with the Sherman antitrust act, in
fairness to competitors and in fairness
TO the public.
They would point to the record of
the Department of Justice as proof
that business had been emancipated
from political blackmail and that in
dustrial organizations were no longer
prosecuted from motives of partisan
advantage or private revenge.
They would point to the Presidents
Mexican policy, Identical as it is vith
Lrncoln's MexicsA policy, as evidence
that the American people were no less
determined than ever TO give the back
ward nations of this hemisphere the
fullest opportunity TO work out their
destiny, and finally achieve that liber-
ty under law which even the most en-
lightened of peoples have had to gain
by struggle and sacrifice.
They would point to our new rela-
tions with Latin-America as the reali-
cation of James q. Blaine's dream of
Pan-Americaaism-a dream thar be-
came reality only through the far
sighted craftsmanship of Woodrow
Wilson.
