Marguerite Clark will be seen at Loew's
Columbia for Christmas week, beginning
Sunday, in Snow White" an adaptation
by the Famous Players Film Company.
Snow White will be remembered as
the heroine of the beloved fairy tale by
the Brothers Grimm. Those who are
blessed with good memories will recall
that there is much magic wrought In the
picture by the witch Hex.
Whereas the theater is restricted in its
ability to reproduce these magic spells
and incantations, 1t is easy for the mo-
tion picture producer to depict anything
that he wishes through trick photography.
Therefore Miss Clark, who scored a sue
cess in the stage version of Snow
White, will have an opportunity of do
ing II in films.

LIVE LIKE ADAM AND EVE
Spend TWO Months in Maine Woods
TO Prove Man Can Survive
In Wilderness.

Boston.-The weather sometimes
gets cold in the Maine woods. In fact,
it is said the mercury hibernates in
the thermometer bulbs when the
spruce trees start popping. And there
are wild animals there. too-deer, por-
cupine, rabbits and even bears. There
is no steam heat and there is not a
delicatessen about the place.
But all these things did not prevent
Walter F. Estes and his 114-pound wife
from proving to their friends that they
could live in the woods for two
months, kill their own food and pro.
vide their own clothing, and come out
in better health than when they went
in.
The lives of Omg and his mate TX
of the paleozoic age we're copied by
the Estes couple. in the warmer
weather when they first entered the
forest their clothing was made of
leaves and vines Then came winters

was responsible for the first deer cap
ture. One had run afoul of their trap
and, when she discovered it, the ami
NAL was about to escape. Mrs. Estes
flung her arms about its neck in true
primitive style and hung on, too. until
her mate arrived.
The flesh of the animals they
trapped, with fish, nuts and herbs,
made up their menu for the two
months. Mrs. Estes came back to civil

HITS POLAND HARD
Land of Graves Shows Wars
Greatest DeSOlation.
More Depressing Than Belgium or
East Prussia Is Picture of Ruin
and Destruction over Vast
Area of Country.

Warsaw-Even more depressing
than parts of Belgium and East Prus
sia, the worst parts is Poland-a
land Of graves and trenches, of ruin
and destruction on a scale that has
been wrought nowhere else by the
war. The conflict has been wSged
back and forth across the ancient
kingdom so long that agriculture has
had but little chance, and, except in
those sections where the German
forces have been in control for some
time, the fields are barren and un'
titled, SCARED by miles upon miles OF
earthworks
From the East PTussian boundary
to approximately the old Rawka posi-.
tions there is visible the maximum
amount of order and peaceful quiet
At the Rawka, however, the interTuin-
able graves with their helmet adorneI
crosses, the deep slashes in the earth
that once were trenches but now are
the temporary homes" of countless
refugees, the maze Of partly destroyed
barbed wire entanglements and the
succession Of burned and ruined vii
lagos begin.
For miles, between AlexandrovO on
the boundary and Warsaw, and be-
tween Warsaw and Lodz, the old
trenches line the railroad, while
graves, individual and common, line
the trenches Eastward of Warsaw
however, the trenches virtually stop
for the Russians moved fast once 2hey
abandoned the capital of Poland The
trenches stop, but the devastated viii
lagos do not. Rather they increase in
number, and there is scarcely rail
road 3tation-and no bridges--left
standing.
The Poles from time immemorial
have been accustomed to building
their thatched cottages-huts would
be a better word-close together. Ac.
cordingly, it was necessary only to set
fire 10 one structure in order to burn
them all In consequence, countless
villages have been reduced to fOrlorn
rows Of chimneys which, being of
brick and stoutly built. resisted the
flames.
Unlike the cities of Poland, the
country seems to have been stripped
of young men. One sees little else
than peasant women, barefoot, i'll
clad, who struggle under bundles of
wood through the mud, and who gen
orally avert their eyes as strangers
pass.
The Germans, partly for their own
benefit, partly to give employment to
the Poles, have dole much to put the
bad roads in shape. They
have also altered the railroad from the
Russian to the German gauge-a stu
pendous work, for all the main lines
are now double track, and at impor-
tant points huge yards have had to be
built to conform to military needs.
The destruction in many parts of
Poland is so general that village after
village has no single house standing
Both soldiers and the civil population
have had to rely on their inventive
hess to obtain shelter, and all along
the railroad lines freight cars, Russian
and German, are being used as houses |
In the case of the Russian cars the
wheels have been removed, the cars
have been set fiat on the ground and |
the interiors fitted up with some de- |
gree of comfort.
