and purchase Of vessels.
During meeting of railroad execu-
tives here today the question was TAX
en- up making arrangements so that
ships now on the great lakes and in
the coastwise trade. can be utilized
for ocean-g going commerce. Under
such a plan to be put into effect only
as rapidly as the railroads can provide
facilities to take the place OF the lakes
and coastwise shipping, it is estimated
that the present transatlantic tonnage
Of the United States possibly can be
trebled.

Nelson Has Petrova Feature.

'The Undying Flame" is an idylic
romance OF two epochs based on the
theory OF reincarnation. The object has
heen to show the same pair OF lovers
attracted from the same sense OF at.
Unity in A. D. that they felt in B. c.
and under the same stars. The first
incarnation OF this immortal pair is
staged in Egypt where the heroine is
the daughter Of the Pharaoh and the
hero is simple shepherd who charms
by his reed music. For them loves
young dream is brief and tragic, for
the shepherd is entombed alive for his
temerity and the Pharaoh's daughter
because OF her grief is changed to
stone by Isis. Here the action skips
numerous centuries and brings the
pair to modern Egypt where the girl is
the. daughter to an English army Off
Ger and the man an English captain.
They recognize at once an unusual and
haunting affinity between them, but
fail to understand its origin until the
discovery Of two halves of a sacred
scarab bring back dim memories of
another and less happy union.
Madame Petrova in this, her final
Lasky picture, is a statuesque and
mystic figure, both as the Egyptian
princess and as her reincarnatiop in
the person Of a young English girl.
Mahlon Hamilton is equally effective
ss the young shepherd and the English
officer and the remainder Of the cast
Is satisfactory. The ancient setting is
iavishly furnished with local color in
the form OF peacocks, dancing girls
and elaborate costumes while the mod.
ern scenes in the Soudan make an ar.
tistic and appropriate background.
The play has the additional adyan.
tage of presenting Nine. Petroya in
two widely different but equally char
acteristic roles and thus finds double
favor in the eyes OF her admirers.
Tense Drama Of Human Passions,
"Panthea" at the Princess today and
tomorrow is an intense and sombre
drama which is reminiscent of the Sar.
dou regime and which has touches sug.
costing la Tosca." 1t is the life.
story OF two musicians shown against
a black and sinister background of
Russian intrigue. Panthea is a bril-
liant young Russian pianiste who mar.
rtes an English composer. Her hus.
band is losing his sanity because he
has failed to produce an opera he has
written and the sight OF his sufferings
forces Panthea to sacrifice herself to
an elderly Baron on condition that the
opera be produced. When her hus
hand learns of tho cost at which his
success has boon gained, he at first
tevolted but with understanding comes
