WINERY few months some photo
 N. play director manages to get
 - hold of a simple human story and he is clever enough to adhere to requirements of common everyday in- cidents. The result is an artistic creation. This is what happened when Plain Jane" was filmed with Miss Bessie Barriscale in the title role.
 Plain Jane" is the kind of a pie ture that will be enjoyed by every one. It is one of those homeIy tales of simple affection between the male and the female of the species, and 1t is picturized in such captivating man. ner that the audience will live with its characters to a lovable conclusion.
 Plain Jane" is the slavey at a cheap boarding house. serious and the "orphint" immediately be- comes his patient, adoring slave. The student, however, takes himself very seriously and he handles 'Plain Jane" with much plainness. Well, as the result of various practical jokes played on the student by his comrades, Plain Jane' wins a beauty contest and a rich old bachelor adopts and sends her along to the co-ed institu- ton. Months then pass and finally while on 8 picnic the student, still in tow of serious, straight-laced sis ter,' gets glimpse of Plain Jane" in all her beauteous charms with the result that he jumps over the traces. The picture ends with the student and her Prince Charming enjoying an apple together.
 Nothing very dramatic about that. It is after all just an everyday story, but think how superior such pie ture is over the shoddy stuff of two men and vampire, with which the screens are glutted from day to day. Plain Jane' is a photoplay that will please everyone and the acting of Miss Barriscale will complete the Joy of seeing the picture.
 Incidentally there is a Keystone comedy at the Triangle theatre today in which Miss Gloria Swanson and Bobby Vernon are featured that is well worth seeing. Try it.

 Much grumbling exists among users of electric lights over the recent in- crease in price of light. Recently there was so-called effort to reduce the rates before the public utility commis- sion. The Alabama Power company was charging 15 cents per kilowatt in Talla- dega and only 12 cents to adjoining towne. varying, according to amount used. The public utility commission heard, and needed the joker petition, and reduced the rate to l2 cents per lSilowatt, and the company at Talladesa then proceeded to so change the discounts that it will result in increased costs to all con- sumers over 35 kilowatts, and add greatly to the revenue of the Alabama Power company.

THE FALL OF A NATION.


 Thomas Dixon and Victor Herbert's dramatic spectacle with music, "rhe Fall of q Nation," which opens a weeks engagement at the Strand theatre next Monday, presents a great argument for preparedness.
 It's peculiar distinction among the great war films is it's imaginative prophecy of Americas future against the background of the European struggle and in the full view of all the besetting national problems. The author faces the welter of all the forces working in our national life liberty, foreign ties. peace propa- ganda, militarism, suffrage. imperial ism-and pictures their combination Is world-shaking cataclysm. The outcome forms a surprising denoue- ment. in which women assume lead ing part in the country's emancipa- ton.

By HUGH ". ROBERTS

It is probably true that the average American is in sympathy with the effort of the English and French allies to con- quer and destroy the militant German empire.
 Nevertheless, the heart of this coun- try pulsates, beyond all question, with admiration for the deyiltry of Paul Koe- nig, the gallant captain of the Deutch- land. It is very probably true that at the present time. practically every man and woman on this side of the ocean is expressing the hope that the big sub- mersible will again escape the prepared shot of enemy vessels--dark and formid- able shapes floating just beyond the three-mile limit.
 Will Koenig again accomplish the seem- ingly impossible? Were someone to pro- pound this query to the captain, the an- swer would be monosyllabic:

MAN OF MYSTERY"

The pilot of the Deutschland is one of the most interesting men who has with in recent years visited Washington, Some months ago, as is recalled, he anchored his ship at Baltimore. In landing his cargo and taking aboard in exchange articles necessary for the welfare of the German empire-and, incidentally, in awaiting moment in which the chance of escaping allied cruisers just beyond the three-rnile limit, seemed fair-several weeks were required. During those 20-odd days, the people of the east lost no op- portunity to see Captain Koenig or in some signal manner, to do him honor.
 His conduct was peculiar. In the first place, immediately on landing, he screen ed his vessel in order that no eye could perfectly master it's symmetry. In the second place, he admitted aboard no man save certain officials of the government. He even denied the wife of the quaran- tine officer the right to stand upon the gaLgplank which extended from the pier to the deck of his vessel. He spoke no word. He declined even to shake hands with newspaper reDorters
