feature film PURITY
GETS PRIVATE SHOWING.
Invited Audience Witnesses Allesorical
Spectacle at Moore's Strand.

A favored few. consisting of news
paper men, motion picture exhibitors,
and artists. were the guests of Tom
Moore at the Strand Theater last night
at a private showing of a six-part film
allegory, Purity" featuring Audrey
Munson, the famous artists model and
international beauty. This production,
Theater for a two weeks run, marks a
new era in the presentation OF artistic
film spectacles.
Many of the scenes were taken in a
natural amphitheater on the Pacific
coast, and the grandeur of the exterior
scenes have never been excelled in
screen production.
Miss Munson, the star. has posed for
many of the greatest modern works
OF art. Among the poses in which she
Is seen are Descending Night" which
attracted widespread attention at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, the Run
ming Diana" and "L'Allegro," famous
bronze. by Henry Herring
The story itself is taken from Greek
mythology. Purity wanders over the
earth exerting a good influence on
everything. She is wooed by and in
return loves a struggling poet with
whom marriage is impossible because
OF an inability to sell his poetry and
consequent poverty. Her wonderful
beauty and grace of body is admired
by an artist for whom she poses for
an allegorical painting and thus she
secures money that her sweethearts
poems may be published.
The scenic effects are startling, and
the subject of considerable comment
by Washington artists. as well as those
of other cities where private exhibit
tions have heretofore been given The
screening OF the picture occupied
nearly two hours. The play will be
shown publicly at the Strand during
the week beginning October l.

Of the Mexican border question by the
Mexican peace commission today. The

cerning the bandits attack on Chihuahua

Although the Mexican envoys still in
sist that Carranza troops are able to
handle Villa and should therefore replace
Gen. Pershing's army in Mexico, they
appeared visibly disturbed by the bri-
gands activities.
They would not deny the report that
Villa forces were able to penetrate into
the center Of Chihuahua because Of a
formidable mutiny in Gen. Trevino's s
army.

Charges have been made here that Car

banks into bankruptcy by DEGREES with
which they cannot possibly comply.
At the present time few banks are able
TO carry a large metallic reserve because
OF Mexico's chaotic financial condition.

THROWN BY aged MAN
Paterson Police Believe He Wore
Beard to Hide His Youth.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Paterson, n. j.. Sept. 1s.-Police are
searching the town tonight for a man
with a long gray beard who last evening
drenched Mathida Sarlour, q years. with
Carbohc acid as she was on her way to
her home, in Hawthorne. The acid was
dashed at her face, but she lodged and It
ate into her left shoulder, arm and side.
Miss SarlOuT said she never had seen
the man before. She noticed him as she
approached Arch street. and as she re-
membered the most striking features
about him were his age, apparently 70
years, and his long beard. He wore, she
aid. a long black alpaca coat and a
black derby hat. He reached into his
pocket and next she saw him aim a bot
tie in her direction.
As she felt the burning Of the acid
she ran to the home of a friend. where
she was attended by DR.. Albert Van
Erde.
Despite the girls assertion that she
has no enemies. one of the police theories
is that the man who threw the acid was
young man who wore the beard as =
disguise. They have not made any prog
ress toward capturing the assailant.

u. S. LOAN TO MEXICO
UNLIKELY, IS OPINION
Officials Believe Carranza Could Not
Meet Terms Demanded.

The greatest obstacle to an early de-
cision by the American Mexican conr1nis-
sion which would solve the difficulties
between the two countries, lies in the
suggestion OF the Mexican members that
this government assist Mexico in obtain
ing large loan
The conditions which the United States
would lay down before acquiescing, 1t was
stated on high authority yesterday are
such that Gen. Carranza probably will not
accept 1t was declared that possible
failure Of the commission plan for set
Ting the Mexican question is confronted
by the administration.
The Mexican objections to assuming the
obligations Of making the promises de-
sired by the United States were said to
be II the fact that they infringed upon
the sovereignty OF Mexico. They relate
to constitutional and other internal re-
forms and to the return Of Mexican fed
eral administration to constitutional gov
ernment.
Reports have reached the State Depart
ment that the economic condition of
Mexico is not improving and that finan-
cial rehabilitation is necessary II Car
rama is to make his regime permanent.
The opposition to him, it was asserted,
is not confined to Nilistas. Zapatistas
and Legallsts, but his unpopularity is
common among all classes in the country.
