The friends of Temperance will be

prevail upon The Enemy" the seven
reel photoplay made by the Vitagraph
company from story written by Geo
Randolph Chester and Lillian Chester
1t assails the liquor question with the
same vigor and uncompromising con-
vlction as to its iniQuity that is to be
found in that celebrated old classic.
Ten Nights in a Barroom" In the
main. the author has made his char
acters convincing and handled his
theme with strict regard for truth. The
scenario writer has not been equally
successful with his part of the work
The drama needs condensing. and
would be the gamer if reduced to five
reels. The finish is logical and pos
sesses great power. but is not lead up
with skill. After giving every indi-
cation that the usual happy ending is
to be employed. the utmost finesse
should have been used in showing the
man who had once been the slave OF
the liquor habit and who. apparently
had conquered his enemy and regain
ed the love of his family and the re-
spect of his fellows. again giving way
to his appetite and sending a bullet
into his brain when overwhelmed by
despair. One of the irritating Incl
dents is the pouring of the liquor into
the bowl of punch by the young wo-
man who is anxious to take the hero
| away from the heroine and who does
not hesitate to tempt the thirst which
the young chap has promised shall
: never again get the better of him
The device is old and its use by the
girl does not seem in keeping with her
! character. There is also a superb
bundance of embracing in the drama

of those familiar with the treaties and
law that unless such
war lasted long time there would be
but little interference with the ordi-
nary course Of the business conducted
by the German companies.
Actually the companies operating In
this country are more German in name
than in fact. There are very few OF
them that are operated from home
offices. They are all under the I'M
mediate control OF Americans and
under the laws Of New York and the
other states to which they are ad-
mitted to business they are required
to keep special funds In the hands OF
American trustees, which In efrect
amounts to the same thing az the
capital and surplus Of an American
company. Insofar as security as con-
cerned a German or any other for
eign company operating In tn Q coun
try is just as safe as any company.
