THEATRES
MANY ENJOY "WAR BRIDES ,,


The most artistic and finished film
production ever seen in this city was
disclosed at the Ditmas theatre yes
terday, when Herbert Brennon's pro-
duction of War Brides" with Nazi-
nova in the stellar role was presented
for the first two of the six perform
ances billed. War Brides" was writ
ten by Marion Craig Wentworth and
enjoyed two years of tremendous pop
ularity on the stage and in making
it into screen play Herbert Brennon
has handed down to posterity q really
sublime achievement which years
from now, when a worlds peace re-
turns will be the strongest argument
against war that man has ever devils
ed. Many in yesterdays audience
expressed the belief that the screen
form exceeded the stage version, due
to the fact that Nazimova's English
was not always understandable, while
In the picture play every scene, action
and situation Is easily understood
without the aid of even the subtitles.
Nazimova is seen in the role of
Joan, q peasant girl, who marries at
the outbreak of the war, her husband
is torn from her arms and she rebels
against war thrust upon peace and
home loving spirit. How she defies
the king In the most unusual manner
is the basis of the more than unus-
ual story.

Youth Was Too Prevloua

An excellent story is told by Walter
Passmore, the comedian, with reference
to a friend Of his who was studying
In order to pass an examination. The
father had promised the young man
that If he passed successfully he
should have sufficient money to defray
the expenses Of a trip to the continent.
The student was so certain he would
pass that, directly the examination was
over, he rushed off to make the prep.
arations for his journey, leaving Mr..
Passmore instructions to wire him the
result next morning. However, In spite
Of his confidence, the young fellow
failed to pass. and SO Mr.. Passmore
wired as follows:
"Trip off-Passmore."
''He thought I meant him to trip
off, says Mr.. Passmore, so he did
trip off with his fathers money in his
pocket, and did not find out that he
had failed until he met his angry pa
rent on his return. Explanations fol-
lowed, but next time he stayed to get
the result for himself"

HOLIDAY CROWDS THRONG CITY
THEATRE.

Four immense audiences yesterday
welcomed the new bill for the first
three days of the week at the City
theatre. Featuring the holiday bill or
pictures and vaudeville was Virginia
Pearson in the five part photo drama,
THE Writing on the WALL" and Friz-
20, comedy magician and illusionist.
The photo play is solidly interesting
in its well selected story and in its
enactment largely because of the
presence of the locally popular vir-
ginia Pearson.
In the vaudeville the human end of
the entertainment, there were offered
four unusually well selected and
highly graded offerings. Two attrac-
tive lasses, La Belle and Lillian, pro-
vided one of the cleverest of musical
entertainments through their skill on
the violin and banjo; Charles Douglas
and Company of three people added
a quarter of an hour of clean comedy
by-play in their amusing playlet. "The
Rubber Man." Stone and Sheldon a
character comedy pair of dancers,
singers and biologists, stole the
laughing end of the show, and Frizzo,
smooth sleight of hand man and
illusion worker, closed the bill in a

BITS ABOUT BABIES
INTERESTING FACTS ELucIpAT-
ED BY WOMAN MEpico.
Infants Smile, She Says, Is 4 Much
Misunderstood Thing - Jealousy
and Sympathy Manifest Them
selves In the Second Year.

In the course of lecture distin.
guished woman physician said that the
inability of baby to hold up its head
was not due to the weakness of the
neck, but to the lack of development
of it's will power, an exchange remarks
The act of standing was instructive
and initiative, while facial expression
and gesture were due almost wholly tu
imitation.
A baby's smile, she said. was the
most misunderstood thing In infancy.
A real smile must have an idea behind
1t, but the expression resembling a
smile which is SO often seen on q very
young baby's face was without an idea
and was due to the easy condition Of
the stomach or to some other physical
satisfaction.
The smile with an idea does not ap-
pear earlier than the fourth week. So,
too, with the crying Of baby. The
contortion Of the features Is due to
physical causes. The baby sheds no
tears, because the lachrymal glands
are not developed for several weeks
after birth.
The chief pleasure of all children Is
to change from one condition to an
other by their own effort. This is the
beginning of the development Of the
will power and is often attested In
what has been called the imperative
intention of tears" This is not dis
closed until after the second or third
month.
A baby tests everything by Its mouth.
its sense Of taste being the surest and
most reliable guide 1t has.
The attention Of all young children
is difficult to. attract, and they must at
tain considerable age before they begin
to notice. Then colors and sounds are
most potential. Fear has been known
to be manifested by baby only three
weeks old, and in all cases the sensa-
tion is produced by sound more than
by sight.
Children Of luxurious and carefully
guarded homes are almost wholly with
out fear, but the children Of poor and
exposed parents always manifest it.
Jealousy and sympathy begin to-
manifest themselves in the second year.
Curiosity also begins to develop here,
and proves to be self-feeder through
out childhood. A little later the ego
begins to appear and the baby has thu
first consciousness Of itself.
The ego first appears as a muscular
sense, and the infant gradually learns
to distinguish itself from surrounding
objects. 1t Is first the hand that Is dis.
tinguished, and then the foot, and final
ly the whole body.
Memory does not appear before the
child Is two years Of age. All the rea.
sonlng Of children Is primitive and ele-
mentary and develops slowly. Darwin
noted an association Of ideas In the
mind of his child when 1t was only five
months Of age.
The lecturer related experiences Of
babies with the. first view Of mirrori
and showed that their actions under
the new conditions were similar to
those of anthropoid apes and dogs u4.
der like conditions.
