Miss Kane was given two widely di- vergent characters to portray in both Cohan productions, Seven Keys to Baldpate" and The Miracle Man." and her remarkable performances attracted widespread attention and comment When asked how she constructed the two "villainess" roles so that both would be equally villainous, yet great ly different in temperament, physical characteristics and attractiveness, she replied:
 Tn Seven Keys to Baldpate' I simp- ly closed one eye, spoke in soft tones, handled the revolver that played such an important role in a delft, hard ex- perienced manner. In The Miracle Man l used my villainy in an unso- phisticated, inexperienced manner en- deavoring to impress upon the audi ence that l was a beginner, only re- gently gone wrong There is d vasl difference between a villain who is bad at heart and villain who must reform before the curtain goes down on the last act-and the two, whole villains, are greatly different in type mode of acting and temperament"
 In Paying the Price" Miss Kane is more charming and more pleasant to see than she was ever when at her best on the speaking stage and there is nc doubt but that William A. Brady made wise and judicious stroke when he signed her to appear exclusively in Brady Made" World pictures.

 wide admirers, and at the same time would leave in comparatively perman- ent form. his Sherlock Holmes for the delight of future generations. I did not ask whether it had been done or not, but I hope that Essanay took two good
 negatives of this subject, so that the
 period of future time during which
 positive reproductions can be success

 classic limit.
 Mir Gillette acts like an old timer
 before the camera, and is just as na-

 on the stage. The scene in Edelweiss

 Alice Faulkner a prisoner, shows Mir
 Gillette as the Sherlock Holmes of
 years ago. The seeming lapses into a
 sleepiness of manner and action sud- denly resolve into a display of im-
 performances and oyerpowering mental itv and will. The greatest scene in the photoplay, as it was in the drama, is that showing the test of wit and cum ming and masterful resourceful ability between the detective and Professor Moriarity (the Emperor of Crooks). in the home of the former.

 Gail Kane. who plays the star role of Judith Corbin in Burton E. Stevenson's story of army and navy life, Paying the Price" makes her debut on the World Film program and incidentally, only her second appearance on the screen. She is a product of the legiti- mate stage, where she attained a high degree of popularity as an actress of no mean ability and of pleasing per sonality.
 She is now in her twenty fourth year, and one of the youngest stars on Broadway. She created the greatest | impression in her dramatic career in George NJ Cohan's top-notch comedy Seven Keys to Baldpate" in which she had one of the most important parts. The hig success she made in 1 the play induced Mir.

EXPLAINS WHY MEN ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald every day and don't know the reason why. Many of them never expect to save even what hair is left.
 This Is indeed a pity, says a hair specialist who claims that badness usually comes from carelessness and that anyone who gives the hair just a little occasional attention should al- ways have an abundance of good, healthy hair. Dust and dirt help to cause badness by c1ogging the pores in the scalp and giving the germs of dandruff fertile ground for prolific breeding.
 The treatment is very simple; wash out the dust and dirt with any pure soap at least once In ten days and destroy the dandruff germs by apply ing every other night Parisian Sage, delightfully."- efficient preparation that hundreds of druggists recommend as the surest treatment to stop hair from falling, to remove dandruf and to re- fresh and invigorate the hair roots.
 Of course, like all successful dis coveries, Parisian Sage has been greatly flattered by limitations which makes 1t necessary to ask for it by name. The cost of a generous bottle is very little, and to supply the steady demand. The Lee G Osgood Co., al- ways have an abundant supply on hand.

MYSTIC SHRINERS ARE
 PLANNIN GPILGRIMAGE.
Will Hold This Years Convention at
 Buffalo in July.

Preparations for what the Shriners claim will be the biggest convention in the United States on the 1916 call endar, are now being made. The con vention is to be held July II, 12 and 13 in Buffalo.
 Preparedness is the watchword and 'Tsmailia will hail ye." is the slogan of the Buffalo nobles and as an in- dication that the hailing will mean something more than a cheerful hello they have raised 8 fund of $I00, 900 to do it right and have started months ahead to make their plans to give the visitors the most the money can provide.
 Indications that close on to 100000 Shriners will attend the 1916 imperial council session and that means pilgrimages in formidable great bulk of attendance naturally will come from the thickly populated country near Buffalo and the Niagara frontier, but large delegations already are assured from distant cities, from Honolulu, the Panama canal zone and even from the Philippine Islands.
 Sphinx temple of Hartford will send one of the largest delegations it has had at any Shrine convention in years.
 In addition to the extensive enter tainment program that is being ar ranged by the Buffalo Shrine pilgrims will be taken on short journeys to spots of interest on the Niagara from tier, Niagara Falls with its natural wonders and the immense electric power generating plants, the whirlpool and nearby Canada with it's historic battlefie1ds near Brooks monument Other journeys will be made to Fra Ebert Hubbard's Roycroft plant, the great steel mills at Lackawanna and to summer resorts on Lake Erie. The plans for giving visiting members of the order lively time are very com prehensive.
 Many of the visiting caravans will have elaborate special trains. One such will come from California tenn pie which will bring a large number of persons and which has a war chest of s1e5,000 to foot travel and sus- tenance bills. A Canadian caravan will carry with it several real buffaloes from one of the few surviving herds which happens to be near the tenn ples home in Alberta. Another from the desert region of the southward will bring camels. Others will have lions, tigers and grizzley bears as mascots. They won't be used in Shrine ceremonia1s, merely in the big parade in which upwards of 50,000 wearers of the fez are to participate.

TRoLLEYMEN TO DEMAND
 MORE MONEY SOON.
Result of Conference in New Haven
 Last Week.

That increased wages and better working conditions for motormen and conductors in the employ of the Con- necticut company and tue Shore Line Electric railway throughout the state will be demanded on June 1, when the present agreement with the company expires, has become generally known for the first time. The demand will he made as a result of a confer ence of the state board of the trolley mems union last Tuesday in New Ha- ven.
 Just what is meant by better work ing conditions is not clear, and dele gates to the conference who have been questioned with regard to this decline to discuss the matter.
 The sub committee selected from the different locals of the state met in New Haven to draw up a set of resolutions which will be turned over to the members of the state board at it's meeting, April 13, for approval, be- fore presenting them to the company.
 The present agreement in operation between the company and the men was made June l. 1914. and calls for an hourly rating from q 2-4 cents with a maximum rate of 2S 1-2 cents an hour after five years service.
 It is understood that the demands for the increased wages will conform with the rates paid throughout New England, calling for a maximum of 30 cents an hour.
 The men employed on the Shore Line Electric say that the recent in- crease of fares, or the installation of copper zones, calls for extra work and they have decided to ask for more pay. The present working agreement, it is stated. will soon expire and the men say they will endeavor to get a sligt increase in wages.
 At the present time the wage scale Of the Connecticut cOmDanV ranges from a minimum of 22 1-2 cents an hour to a maximum of 2S 1-2 cents The minimum wage on the Shore Line is the anne as that of the Connecticut company, and the maximum is 29 cents an hour, or half a cent higher.

TWO COMPENSATION HEARINGS
Testimony Taken Before Commissions Donohue on Monday
 Awards Made in Both Cases.

There was a hearing before Dr. James J. Donohue, compensation com- missioner for the Second congressional 1 district. at his office in the Central | building on Monday morning at Il o'clock on the case of Peter Ryan, for merly of Pomfret, now of Providence, R. I.9 against Charles J. Higginson of Pomfret.
 The claimant appeared in person and the insurer of Ghe respondent, the Aetna Life Insurance company, was represented by E. A. Farwell of Provi- dence.
 On the sth day of April, 1914, Peter Ryan ran & silver into the palm of the right hand. which injury resulted in blood poisoning, and caused a lengthy disability. A voluntary agreement was entered into by employer and employe on the 9th day of September, 1914, by the terms of which the employe was to receive the maximum amount allowed for compensation, namely, $10 weekly, during total disability. The claimant was a mason and earned in excess of $20 weekly prior to his injury. Com pensation was paid on the above men toned basis up to May 11th, 1915, at which time the respondent claimed that total disability had ceased, and a hearing for the purpose of determining the exact amount of disability was held on July 7th, 1915, and on July 18th, 1915, the compensation commits
  ability benefits to date of the hearing and partial disability benefits at the rate of $4.50 weekly thereafter, being half the difference between what he did earn and what 1t was judged he was then able to earn.
 At the present hearing 1t was found that payments for partial disability have been paid up to Jan. 11th. 1916, and that the claimant has already re- ceived a total of $735, besides the med fcal, surgical and hospital services pro- vided in Section of Part B of the act The present hearing was called for the purpose of determining wheth- CT or not at this time any disability whatever existed and that a lump sum settlement might be made to definitely close the case.
 Dr. Charles c. Gildersleeve was call ed in as a medical witness and after an examination of the claimant had been completed he testified that, con sidering the claimants age (65 years) and the seriousness of the injury, he
