NANCE O'NEIL TALKS OF HER
PHOTOPLAY WORK.

Nance O'Neill, she of the vital per-
~sonality and compelling magnetism,
is a notable recruit to the motion
picture stage, and like dozens OF 9TH
err great and w~ell-known dramatic
stars she has chosen to enter the pho
todramatic field under the banner OF
William Fox.
The new vehicle in which Miss
O'Neil is seen under the William o
management and which is more pow
erful and thriliingly dramatic than
even other successes, Krutzer Sonata
Princess Romanoff. etc. is produced
by Frank Powell and has been named
"A Woman's Past" In discussing
her art recently Miss 0'Neill said:
Il believe it is possible to make
people feel and suffer with you on the
screen just as 1t is possible upon the
speaking stage. This wonderful art
for it is new-appeals to me with
singular power. 1t appeals for this
reason: that dramatic artists now
have a medium of expression differ
ent and far broader than the so-called
legitimate stage. So intensely do |
live every moment that 1 work for
the screen that it became a saying
in the William Fox studios that
Nance O'Neil has lost her voice play
ing for the pictures Seriously speak
ing. though" continued Miss O'Neil.
Il think l may lay claim to being the
first actress to discover that sincerity
is the most important thing upon the
screen just as it is in real life and
upon the stage. The screen. however.
is quicker to detect hypocrisy and
what | may term, for want of a bet
ter word, taking than is the speak
ing stage"
"A Woman's Past" is the attrac-
ton at the Ely Theatre tomorrow
night.

MAY LIGHT CITY
WITH WATER FUND
Council So Advised by Assist
ant Solicitor. Snavely and
Gross Clash

After providing for all expenses of
the Water Department, including op-
GRAFTON, reserve funds, extensions, bond
ed indebtedness, etc, Harrisburg may
very properly spend the balance of it's
water departmental earnings "in the
same manner as other revenues of the
city"-that is, the electric lighting of
the city's streets.
In brief, that is the opinion Council
was furnished day by Assistant City
Solicitor e. Bruce Taylor.
The question of whether or not the
City Commissioners could use $65, 1000
to $6S,000 of the water earnings to pay
for the lighting bill and thus lop that
sum from the general revenue ordi-
nance with its consequent reduction of
the city tax rate by mill and a quar-
ter was referred to the legal depart
ment following the suggestion of
Mayor L. S. Meals.
Other Solicitors Views
In addition to his own views on the
subject Mr. Taylor Incorporates an
opinion by eX-City Solicitor Thomas
S. Hargest and eX-Judge NJ. w. Jacobs.
All the solicitors discuss the applica-
ton of the old city and borough acts
and their relation to the Clark act.

perpetrated fraud in connection with
his contract with the Pension Mutual
and demanding that 1 revoke his IL
cense to do business In connection with
other companies Wood has developed
into quite voluminous letter writer
but he fails to reclte the fact that he
signed the contract with Whitley which
he now declares TO have been fraud
ulent. The fact is that Wood is simp-

Pittsburgh Plants Are
Considering Closing Plants
Because of Car Shortage

Pittsburgh, Pa. Dec. 12. - Import
ant manufacturing interests in the
Pittsburgh district were to-day con-
sidering the advisability of shutting
down their plants December 23 and
allowing them to remain idle until
January for the two-fold purpose
of giving their employees a rest and
to enable the railroads to clear tracks
east and west of the vast quantities
of freight daily being offered. 1t was
said that machinery also needs over
hauling, it having been in almost con-
tinuous operation for almost a year,
much longer time than usual.
In spite of heroic measures adopted
by the railroads freight continues to
pile up at terminals. All freight de-
pots in Pittsburgh are now being
operated at night to allow consignees
to remove freight, and yesterday the
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis railroad placed an embargo
upon all freight except such as shall
originate on and is destined to points
along it's own tracks.

manner to discuss the situation, and
this it was expected, would lead to a
basis for peace.
In German quarters the crisis in
the British Cabinet, the coming of
winter and the lull in the fighting are
given as reasons for making the peace
proposals at this time. 1t is declared
that the successes of the Teutonic
arms in Rumania should convince the
allied powers that the offer is not
made because of any military weak
ness. BY making the offer now, it ia
said, the German powers feel that all
