ii such thing is remotely possible, in
the Famous Players Film Company's
four-part photo adaptation of Frances
Hodgson Burnett's great human drama

Paramount program at Alcazar to,

Miss Pickford delinaates this famous
character-study with all the sweetness

her greatest screen triumphs since

cleverly interviewer real pathos, sim
pie and beautiful sentiment and a
quaint originality and humor that will
reach both the heart and the soul of
people OF all ages and temperaments,
which the always charming and won
derful little star interprets in a man

drama confronts her. Not only be-
cause it is much unlike anything else
she has ever done before. but also be-
cause OF its humanness-its wonderful
-"Esmeralda" will be re
nembered as one Of Miss Pickford's
foremost character creations.
The story is so generally well known
that it is perhaps unnecessary to more
than briefly indicate its motif. This is
based upon the separation of the sim
PIE little Esmeralda and her sweet
heart by the unexpected finding of a
fortune in ore on the farm and the
suddenly developed ambitions Of her
mother who becomes uncontrollably
society-stricken when she learns Of her
wealth. Now Esmeralda is made to be-
heve that her lover is dead, so that
she con consent to marry designing
marquis, and how the sudden arrival
of her sweetheart interrupts the gor-
geous wedding. forms the climax of a

the people it depicts themselves.
Capably directed by James Kirk
wood and ably supported by Fuller
Nellish as Esmeraldas father; Ida
Waterman. the society-stricken
mother; Arthur Hoops and other
screen favorites, Mary Pickford sue
ceeds in making of "Esmeralda" such
a character that will finger in the
memory of her admirers as long as has
the other of her memorable fmperson-
atoms.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-That a
definite decision for action was reach.
ed by the cabinet was suggested in of.
fetal circles, but under orders from
the president the members declined to
talk when the session broke up. Three
propositions were passable, it was
pointed out
First, that the state department

that in view of the latest developments
In the situation, the United States
would, If the appendices enroute here
seemed to raise a serious question as
to the British methods of controlling
merchantmen, desire to discuss Just

Tense.
Second, that the United States con-
siders that the announcement Of a new
submarine warfare by Teutonic subma-
rines violates the implied pledges in
the cases of the Lusitania, the Arabic
and the Ancona.
Third, that the assurances in the
above cases are acceptable to the
United States, but that they cover
pledges of the past and that they must
be backed up by the performances of
the future.
Meanwhile the house and senate
leaders were sitting on the lid, de-
termined to prevent congress making
any move at this time that will seri-
ously embarrass the United States.

CHEERFUL news
IN Wasp CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The Inter
national situation SO far as the sub
marine issue was concerned continued
serious today Great Britain has al
ready indicated that she will deny EN-
phatically the German allegations that
the Allies have violated international
law in orders to merchant vessel com
manders.
Lansing felt constrained to make
denialS of optimistic reports widely
circulated in the morning papers that
the situation was such that the crisis
had been past The cabinet for more
than an hour discussed the latest Ger
man suggestion. 1t was explained by
Secretary Lansing that the position
assumed by German Ambassador Won
Bernstorff and Austria Charge Zweide-
neck at yesterdays conferences show
ed conclusively that Germany and Aus
tria will never agree that any vessel
carrying arms is immune from attack
without warning. This did not of
necessity mean the secretary is under
stood to have pointed that an immed-
late violation of American right was
contemplated but it added to the
gravity of the situation inasmuch as
at any time something might develop
which would force action by the
United States.

complete failure as to their aim, which
was to destroy British commerce and
cut England off from food supplies.
Great Britain knows that the admir-

policy which calls for the destruction
without warning of ships armed for
defense purposes These preparations
are complete. Because of their nature
it is impossible to make them known,
but il is possible to state that the plans
to meet the first submarine campaign
were no more carefully worked out
than those to counter the new attacks.
