Hopper and Tincher
Chased by a Lion

When De Wolfe Hopper and Fay
Tincher appear in the scenes with a
lion in Sunshine Dad" the offering
at the Rohlf thcater today, they were
not acting. 1t was mighty serious
business with them. 1t required
weeks OF patient, nerve-racking effort
to get the lion to do the things he had
to do in this picture. He wasn't a
loveable lion at all, and he hated bath
tubs. When you have seen the won-
derful mystery of this play and have
grasped its cleverness and tingling
quality, you'll begin to realize that
it stands out as one OF the big motion
picture features Of the year.
For the balance OF the week the
offerings are as follows: Monday,
seventeenth chapter OF 1.-THE Iron
Claw" Tuesday and Wednesday,
William M. Thompson and Anna Lehr
in Civilizations Child" Thursday,

To show the growth Of any industry
it is necessary to go back number
Of years. With the moving picture
industry it is only necessary to look
back about ten years, as that really
is the beginning, although moving
pictures were exhibited before then.
Ten years ago the exhibitor was not
supposed to know anything about this
picture or that He simply went to
the exchange and took whatever was
handed to him, and he was happy
enough to take whatever he got. To-
day 1t is changed. The exhibitor is
business man who does his shop
ping with intelligence. He first
learns the class of pictures his patrons
like and goes about the task of finding
as near as possible that kind of a
picture or picture service.
A year or so back there was q
clamor for the big production, and
at present we find great many ex-
elusive programs on the market.
Some are very successful and some
are not; however, on the whole the
average merit Of the pictures are OF
a high order.
Many houses which have failed on
the large productions have come back
to their own by running the regular
programs and vice versa. 1t is not
always the fault Of the service, but
the district in which the theater may
be located.
The motion picture industry today
represents the outlay OF many millions

chapel of the monastery, and over the
steep rcd.tiled roofs of the quadrangle
peep the snow-covered peaks of the
Ria range, Of which the Stag and
King SUBMITS, $500 feet above sea
level, are the highest.
Not all the Turkish sultans were
the friends of the monastery. Thus
it happened that the seclusion which
Ivan Risky had sought became time
and again the only protection Bulgars
from the vicinity had against the
perils Of war and misrule. The mon
astery may be reached over a pass
from Samokoff, but its principal ap-
proach lies through a fourteen-mile
gorge from.the village of Ria. These
two approaches could be easily de-
Tended by small number of men.
|. On just one occasion was the
monastery overcome by military
force-in 1885 the Serbian fuedal lord,
Chrl, entered il. The tower of the
monastery is the monument Of his
conversion. 1t was he who erected it.
Three decades ago Risky monastery
often became the refuge of the Bull
garian comitadjes, who had their
headquarters in the Ria forests. Even
today the monastery is nearly seventy,
miles from the railroad, as inacces-
sible as ever, and far removed from
the beaten trail.
The institution owns approximately
$4,000 acres Of land, of which about
7,400 acres are under cultivation, the
labor being done by hired men.
"All you see here is. ours" said
Father Eugenius, pointing to the
fields in the gorge, the splendid beech
and oak forests, and the mountain
glades still covered with snow. 1--WE
have about $500 sheep, 100 cows and
more than 100 horses"
Asked what was done with the rev.
enue from the forests and the fields,
the superior said part Of it went to
the traditional custom of lodging
apd feeding free all charges, and, for
three days, all strangers passing that
way, and that the remainder was given
to schools and .seminaries.
I'VE know little of the war here"
he said, though we get mail regu-
larly. We follow our devotiohs and
hope and pray that the strife will
soon be over. The good monks of
Risky were reminded of the war,
however, last night when your auto
mobile snorted its way up the gorge"
The chauffeur had negotiated the
ninety-horse power machine through
desolation of water-washed boulders,
along the impetuous mountain torrent,
and then, through dense forest Of
beeches and conifers. The monastery
was reached about 8 o'clock in the
evening, and as the machine rumbled
through the great courtyard most of
the thirty-five monks rushed from
their cells to witness the unusual
event of an automobile invading the
holy precincts of Ria.
The superior had already retired,
as he was to celebrate mass at 3
o'clock in the morning, SO Brother
Nicofer welcomed the guests, served
a meal of cold beans favored with
mint, cold prunes, and bread, and
then assigned the Associated Press
correspondent the best but one apart
ment in the monastery-that one be-
ing the quarters reserved for the king.
Brother Nicofer said that never be-
fore had an American journalist been
in Risky monastery, and he ex-
planned the simple fare by stating it
was week of fasting at the institu-
ton, and hoped that the visitor would
sleep well.

Journeys With
Photo Players

Bessie barrfScale, the Nymp star,
is taking advantage Of the opportunity
to show us what capital little come
dienne she is. In the five reeler now
under way at Culver City, Miss Bar
riscale has part full Of light touches
which she knows just how to put oyer.
Remember her parts in Bullets and
Brown Eyes" and 1.-THE Mating'"
We'll, this part'will give the same sort
q quiet enjoyment they did and what
more could anyone ask Charles Ray
will support Miss Barriscale in this
feature.
Cleo Madison has had her little
holiday, just few days to rest up.
She spent it with her sister, Helen, at
home. They are good companions,
these two, and finds lots Of comfort
in each others society. Helen is more
OF less of an invalid, but keeps house,
and they manage to get lots of fun out
of life.
Miss Madison will direct and take
the lead in a West Indian drama,
starting towards the end of the week
In this she will impersonate little
slave girl and the photoplay is full
of pathetic interest. She is at her best
in these character studies and loves
to play them.
Henry B. Walthall is expected to
pay q visit to California some time in
the near future to take look at some
of his investments near the sea shore.
Possibly the friend who circulated the
rumor of his visit had the wish in
mind and indeed his many friends on
the coast would be delighted to have
him among them if only for few
days. 1t S doubtful if any actor in
the profession has more honest-to-
goodness friends than this same
Henry Walthall.
Grace Cunard and Francis Ford
have been taking a good rest, the first
they have enjoyed for long time.
Since leaving the University company,
they have received several good Of
fers, but are making their choice with
great care. Several capitalists in Los
Angeles offered to put up a good sum
Of money to exploit this very popular
pair, but the offer has not, so far, been
accepted. Both aver they intend to
have some recreation before starting
anything at all, although it looks as
though their plans would be made
within the next few days.

RUSSIANS SUFFER
SEVERE REPULSE
TWO HUNDRED THOU AND
TURKS THROWN AGAINST
NICHOLAS ARMY.
Desperate Attempt to Regain Lost
Positions Followed by Retreat. -
French Positions Violently
Bombarded at Night.

London.-The Russian army in Asia
Minor has suffered a severe repulse
at the hands of the Turks. Constan-
tinople claims it; Petrograd admits it.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen has
apparently concentrated the main part
OF his reputed army of 100000 Turks
against the center of Grand Duke
Nicholas's army. The Russian line
runs from Trebizond, on the Black
sea, to Bitlis, 1S0 miles south. The
center has advanced about sixty miles
from ErZerum, captured February 15,
with Erzingan as it's objective.
1t is here that the Turks are max
ing their great fight.
The Turks have been massed on
the kope mountains, northwest of En-
zerum, and on the 18th drove the
Russians from their positions on the
eastern slopes of this range A series
OF attempts of the Russians to regain
these positions have been repulsed, ac-
cording to the Turkish reports, with
heavy losses to the grand duke.
This repulse was followed by an ac-
tion in which the Turks took the Of
fensive. The battle was of a most
desperate character and lasted the
whole day and the Petrograd official
report announces that at it's close the
Russians were compelled to retire.
French positions near Dead Man hill
on the Verdun front were bombarded
violently Sunday night, but there was
no infantry attack. A German thrust
south of Roye was repulsed, the war
office statement announced.

FRANCE UNWILLING
TO PROPOSE PEACE
POINCAlRE SAYS FIGHT WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL GERMANS
SUE FOR PEACE.
Declares That France Does Not Want
Germany to Tender Peace, But
Wants Her Adversary to Ask
for Peace.

Nancy.-President Poincaire, In an
address here Sunday, responded to
Germanyis declaration regarding peace
contained in the German reply to the
American note.
France does not want Germany to
tender peace" said the president, but
wants her adversary to ask for peace"
The president then made known
clearly the only kind of peace accept
able to France. The address was de-
livered at the Moltitor garrison be-
fore large number of Lorraine refu-
gees, to whom the president, after ex-
pressing his sympathies and renewing
promises of solicitude and protection,
said:
France will not expose her sons to
the dangers of new aggressions. The
central empires, haunted by remorse
for having brought on the war, are
terrified by the Indignation and hatred
they have stirred up in mankind, are
trying today to make the world be,
lieve that the entente allies alone are
responsible for the prolongation of
hostilities-a dull irony which will de-
ceive none.
Neither directly nor indirectly have
our enemies offered us peace. But we
do not want them to offer 1t to US;
we want them to ask 1t of us. We do
not want to submit to their condi-
tions. we want to impose ours on them.
We do not want a peace which would
leave imperial Germany with the
power to recommence the war and
keep Europe eternally menaced. We
want peace which receives from re-
stored rights serious guarantees OF
equilibrium and stability.
so long as that peace is not as,
sured to us; so long as our enemies
will not recognize themselves as van
quished we will not cease to fight"

THE REPUBLICAN
SITUATION.

No matter how loud may be
the Claims OF any particular can
didate with reference to the
Republican presidential nominai- :
ion. it is certain that several
ballots will be required before a
selection is made. Within the
past two weeks it has been made
clear that the attempt to stamp
ede the convention by the Roose
welt faction has hopelessly failed
New York State with it's 81 votes
largely pledged to Mr.. Root and
Justice Hug hes; and Pennsylvania
with 76 votes-likelv for Mr..
Knox, are units that may become
the determining factors in the
hnal control OF the convention.
The convention will face the
necessity OF solving it's own pro-
blems III making a nomination.
AS matters HOW Standard the
position is likely to be intensified
there are three real factors among
Republican presidential possibili
ties. There is Colonel Roosevelt
whose qualities need not be dis
cussed-but whose nomina ton
would be sure to accentuate
tactional differences in the Repub
lican party. Then there is Justice
Hug hes, who is Just being
urged, y much in the same manner
as in he case of Senator Root, in
the hopes that he may be the
means OF defeat ting the Roosevelt
ambitions.
Outside of the supporters as
well as the direct opposition to
Colonel Roosevelt, Theodore E
Burton commands more support
ON his own account than any
other candidate in the field He
has a public record around which
progressives and conservatives
have rallied in the past.
