Story and dlrrctlon BY William NlEh.

story ana direction by Wtiiam NlEh'
The movies have often and worthily
set forth the oddities Of the small town. but
never with more acumen than In this case
Indeed. the picture resolves itself into that
rare bird. n play in which the animating
force Is character, and not melodramatlc
power, The person who drives the tale TO
its climax is lawyer, who has taken to
the bottle as the result OF an unhappy love
affair (played by the directory and he almost
uncannily grips the role and shakes little
real ties out OF IT, Additional strength Is
given his playing by such scenes as the bu-
collie tag-day and the strange and exciting
fight between the lawyer and the villain In
shadowy barn. Mr.. Nigh is man OF
weird and mordant talents Che has been
everything from Keystone comedian to
an Inc4 JRp). and Il II well; otherwise IL
would he hard to excuse the photography
and lighting In 'Life's Shadows" Nothing
worse In either line has been seen for years.

Evening star., 1916-08-06

shells are very familiar to the eastern
coast. They are globular and ashen
In color. with no adornment on their
smooth surface.
one of the most interesting of the
american shells is the ear shell or the
abalone of California. 1t is really
shaped like an ear and one is tempted
TO ask where it's other half is, so
closely does it resemble one of the
sections of a bivalve. But it is a uni
valve. despite its shallowness, and the
great scar on the inside shows the
place where the body grows fast. The
living mollusk thrusts it's head out
from under the edge of the shell,
where ends the row of conspicuous
holes through which it thrusts its
feelers. The abalone shell is beauti-
full. 1t is iridescent and lustrous in
side and is shipped in great quanti-
ties to Paris, where 1t is used for
inlay work. ornamental buttons. knife
handles and jewelry.
The limpet is the broadly conical mol
lusk included in every child's shell
collection. One of its varieties is
called volcano because 1t looks like
an ash crater. In passing the univalves
one might mention the snails and slugs,
but their species are too numerous to
give In detail.
The living bivalves may be studied
by slipping a knife blade under the
left valve and breaking the ligament.

officers and ranks of fighting Tommies.
An introduction by Joseph H. Choate
gives a synopsis of these letters. and,
better even than that. 1t expresses in
whole-hearted appreciation, not only his
own gratitude to Mrs. Ward for this
thoroughly competent and authoritative
summary, but he speaks also for the
many on this side who love England
and take pride in her men and women
