1.-The Hidden Scar" big, modern
story of a great love stained by a
previous misstep.s s,.
No one ever passes through life
scarless. Sometimes as we journey
on, conditions for which we are not
always responsible mark US, SO to
speak, with scars that we would hide
from our friends. Some call it Fate,
others call it Destiny, while the big,
broad d-shouldered man or the level
headed little woman call it lmaglna-
ton.
Again, there are a few, who look
upon these scars with feeling Of
horror. These few may be in the
minority, but the power of their opin-
ions, often makes mountain of a
mole-hill. There is a scorching path
i'll life, and there are many who travel
it IN search of happiness. AS result
there comes time; when they seek to
hide the scar.
All things considered, "The Hidden
Scar" is one of the most interesting
pictures produced in long time. It
has that touch of nature that makes
the whole world kin. 49,.

"Witchcraft."

In "Witchcraft, to be seen at the
Grand Wednesday, Director Frank
Reicher has given studious, unexag-
gerated portrayal of the days of
witchcraft in New England.
Fanny Ward charms as the Hugue-
mot girl who with her mother comes
to the settlement to escape the mesh
of superstition which gradually had
been closing about them. The por-
trayal of the mother, too, is skillful,
compelling. Jack Dean is the young
ster who falls in love with the new
conner, only to be euchred by his mi
serly uncle. Paul Weigel is that un-
Gle, who compels Suzette to become
his wife under threats of delivering
her mother to the mob clamoring for
her blood. Lillian Leighton is No
komis, the Indian woman who be-
friends Suzette, and is in turn be-
friended. 1t is a fine Interpretation
OF strong character, one that bulks
IN the story. Then, too, there is an
unnamed child. who, with uncanny
CONTINGENCIES, describes to the jury,
as she has to the neighborhood, what
the witch has done.
"Witchcraft" will be liked. 1t is a
story revelatory of conditions in a
oiaek page of New England history,

Campaign Against Tuberculosis.

From now on a statewide cam
paign against tuberculosis will be ac-
lively pushed in Louisiana. Many
states have recognized the danger of
permitting consumption to menace
the community, swell the death
records and otherwise damage the
status of certain localities. Boards of
trade are assisting to stamp out the
disease. Press associations are ear
nestly endeavoring to impart through
the newspapers the necessary inform
alton to prevent and to cure consu1np-
ton. Louisiana will do all in her
power to make the state a clean and
healthy place for all her people. You
are invited to help. AS the various
districts and parishes are organized
in this anti-tuberculosis campaign,
you will be advised of the part you
are to take. Literature and inform
alton are available now at the head
quarters, Alt Camp street, New Or
leans. Every man, woman and child
will be an important factor in the
"stamp out consumption" crusade.

vampire" characterizations, and
Charles Ray, the popular juvenile, are
presented by Thomas H. Ince as CO.
stars III forceful Triangle drama,
"The Wolf Woman" which will be the
Sunday offering at the Gem. The pro-
duction serves to introduce Miss
Glaur1 as a full-fedged star, the story
having been written expressly to suit
her peculiar talents, and that she has
more than succeeded in justifying her
promotion is the unqualified statement
Of Producer Ince and his associates.
''The Wolf Woman" tells the pitiful
story of a sirens fall, fall that car
ried her far into the depths of de-
prayity, but not until she had been
robbed, by d trick of fate, of her one
potent. weapon, beauty. Author, Sui
livan names his character. Leila
Aradelle, and describes her as ga .liv-
ing proof of the triumph OF. the flesh,
in whose creed the lure of the pdysi-
cal was placed above moral, spiritual
or mental worth, and in whose in
cense-laden apartments the idol of
sensuality replaced the crucifix or
family Bible" This is the role un-
dertaken BY Miss Glaum, and in her
portrayal of it she is said to have far
exceeded all her previous perform
ances as an adventures.
To Ray falls the role of Rex Wald-
en-, character which ends before the
story has. seen half told, yet which is
sufficienW important. to offer the
young aietor uhequalled opportunities
for powerful acting. Ray has handled
the part, it is said, with skill that
surpasses that of his work in "The
Coward, ;" and justly earns the right
to share stellar honors with Miss
Glaum.

A Valuable Citizen.

The silver loving cAp which the New
Orleans Times-Picay9hne annually of
fers for presentation to the resident
of that city who may be adjudged to
have rendered the most conspicuous
public service during the year, was
awarded for 1915 to W. B. Thomp-
son, city commissioner of public utili-
ties, because of his having projected
and been chiefly instrumental in Sc
curing the construction of the great
cotton warehouse that is now classed
among the most important commercial
assets of the Louisiana metropolis.
Mr.. Thompson, who declined re-elec-
ton as city commissioner and wished
to retire from official life, has con-
sented to accept the presidency of the
board of port commissioners, COM
monty called the book board, when
President Adolph Dumser carries out
his announced intention of retiring
from that position, and DIR. Thompson
cites this circumstance in contradic-
ton Of the rumor that he is to be
named and has consented to serve as
a member of the new state board of
affairs. It does not fall to the lot of
many men in community to achieve
such marked distinction for promoting
the general welfare as Mr.. Thompson
has done, and the people of the state
and it's chief city are to be eongratu-
lated that he has been prevailed upon
to continue the exercise of his great
abilities in the public service.

Inside for the Home.

The number of women in England
working outside the home" is over
three millions. ] The demand for wo-
men in the munitions factories has
caused a dearthfof women as domestic
servents. When England finds it nec7
essary almost to conscript women as
war agencies, it would be but fair
exchange of labor to draw upon men
as: house servants. Not alone buffers
and chefs, but for the many services
now performed by maids, many of
which require more expenditure of
physical force than for so-called mem S
occupations.

Major Harry, regimental surgeon

The next episode shows the Majors

Lieutenant Horne, one Of Haryey's
brother officers.
The next movefin the drama brings
into view highwayn1an named Sandy

The girl is young, beautiful and un-
sophisticated. She discovers the love
affair between Mrs. Harvey and
Horne. She also attracts the atten-
ton of the Lieutenant, and,, during
a struggle with him, learns the truth
about her father. Sandy promises
never to commit another robbery. He
does not keep his promise, however

this, Jeanne, who has made friends

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? It is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is q dan
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. It is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack Of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
