MOVING PICTURE FEATURES

"The Victory of Conscience" Lou
Tellegen's latest photoplay, seen here
yesterday, is quite out Of the ordinary.
The story will not bear analysis. 1t
is absurd. But throughout the pic
ture there is very ingenious play of
things typifying evil against things
IMPLYING good, and the result is eff
fective and intensely interesting. Tel
legen, as the priest and again as the
priest-soldier, is really at times a
heroic figure. His acting is superb.
Cleo Ridgely, as Rosette, does not
measure up to him at all. Her dane
ing is ridiculous. The photography is
wonderfully fine, and contributes a
great deal to the effectiveness of the
picture The advance notices of this
picture, as with many others, are
misleading.

ment of the Strand theater, New

Need Unusual Amount Of oiI.

For some time past, according to
reports, international trains arriving
in Holland from Germany were found
to- run very noisily and to be in need
of more lubricant. Investigation by
the Dutch railroad officials revealed
the fact, it is said, that the lubricant
containers on the trains from across
the border had been emptied Of oil
and grease before leaving Germany,
where lubricants are now scarce, or
else were provided with just about
enough to carry them into Holland.
After this discovery the Dutch guards
saw to 1t that they did not supply
more than enough oil and grease to
carry the trains back over the bound
