New York In Evidence.

New York presents three names to
the convention-Hughes, Root and
Roosevelt, with Wadsworh and Whit
man In the dark horse stables. 1t has
often been said that New York does
not want the presidency. 1t may be
truthfully said hat a lot OF New York
ers do not want any Of the men before
the convention. The delegation is not
expected to unite on any OF them.
What makes this New York situation
more peculiar Is that neither Hughes,
Root. Roosevelt, Whitman o Wads-
worth is an avowed candidate for the
nomination.
r. r. ~ q Second Choice.
Scratch a Hughes man and you will
find he Is for Roosevelt II you go deep
enough" That was heard during the
time the delegates were being elected.
1t is now claimed that many men elect
ed ostensibly for Hughes will vote for
Roosevelt at an early opportunity.

EMPIRE

- The first of the new B1uebird fea-
ture films will be shown at the Empire
theatre tomorrow. The title of the re-
lease is Jeanne Dore'' with the df-
vine Sarah Bernhard in the title role.
The worlds greatest actress is sup
ported by an all star cast of leading
French artistes and the production
was adapted to the screen from the
last stage play in which the divine
Sarah appeared previous to her SER
ious illness.
The story unfolded in the Eve reels
is one of unusual dramatic power,
even tragedy, in fact several of the
scenes are SO intensely tragic that no
less an artist than Bernhard could
portray the mother! role; no less a
mistress of pantomine and facial ex-
preston could depict before the cam
era the ful1ness of the manifold posi-
bi1ities in photop1aying which the role
exacts.
Today. the eighth episode of the I'm
iversa1 master serial, Graft will be
shown headed by an all feature photo
play program Of features that will

PLAZA

Telling an absorbing story that
dates back to the reign of Louis Kill,
the Triangle's f1lnization of Alexan-
DIRE Dumas famous masterpiece,
sD'Artagan,'' is creating much COM
ment among patrons of the Plaza
theatre the first half of the week.
The role of D'Artagnans the young
adventurer, is portrayed by Orrin
Johnson and he displays remarkable
skill at fencing in the many thrilling
duels that take place in the picture.
D'Artagnan is one of the kings mus
keteers and his feats of valor ex-
cite, the admiration of that sovereign
and also the queen, whose selection
of him for very perilous mission,
forms the foundation Of the story. The
play is in FIVE chapters and is elab-
orate1y staged while this characters are
garbed in the proper costumes of
those days.

Peace in Baseball? Nix!
We Still Have Heinie Zin1

Thirty years ago, come tomorrow,
a stork 5hovered over a certain domi-
Gle in that bucolic section of New
ork known as the Bronx. There are
to be found a number of weak-eyed
ard osseouszdoned persons whose ad-
died intellectuals have doubtless con-
jured up a vision of the said stork sud-
denly going loco and flying off to the
exact center of the Atlantic ocean,
where, from a height of ten miles, it
drops its burden into the bound1ess
briny, ker-pIunk.
Nothing like that happened, as a
matter of fact. The bird was safe
and sane. and made its delivery as per
way bill to the party addressed, this
being the Zimmerman family. The
shipment consisted of one small ami
NAL of the human species and the
masculine gender, who was forthwith
tagged Henry. He grew up into a
sturdy, two listed manhood, and ever
