MAXIM APPEARS IN
GREAT PICTURE PLAY
Famous Inventor Will Be Seen in "The
Battle Cry Of Peace" at Pa
vilion Theatre.

One Of the most interesting characters
in "The Battle Cry OF Peace" which is
to be shown at Pavilion Theatre to-day
and Saturday, is that of Hudson Maxim,
the famous inventor, who appears in the
! early part of the picture, and by means
of small models, illustrates ON the screen
the crying need of preparedness.
He shows in sort of prologue how the
United States is fatally inferior to all
other first-class powers in naval equip
ment, in army forces, in coast defense,
and in possibilities for meeting a sudden
conflict.
He shows how in his opinion the city
of New York and its environs fall an in
evitable victim to the bombardment of
the enemy's ships and makes the point
that all the ammunition manufacturing
plants of the United States are within
a 200-mile radius of New York City.
The dramatic portion of THE Battle
Cry of Peace" is enacted by such distin-
guished stars as Charles Richman, Nor
ma Talmadge, Louise Beaudet, Belle
Bruce, Mary Maurice, L. Rogers Lytton,
James Morrison, Joseph kilgour and
Evart 0verton.
Not one of these renowned motion pic
ture stars is more impressive than the
aged, kindly-faced inventor whose brain
gave the world the most destructive
death implement ever known-the ma
chine gun.-adv.

Congressman Dale may have been
swept by wave OF home state patriot
ism when, in addressing the national
House of Representatives about Admiral
Dewey, he declared that "the superlative
fact" stands forth that Vermont gave
him to the nation" but it was more or
less of provincial point of view to take
in the matter. The superlative fact
about Dewey's life and achievements was
not that he was Vermont born, much as
we Vermonters may like to pride our
selves in the association of his name with
Vermont; the fact that Dewey was born
in Vermont is merely incidental to those
far, far greater considerations which
have to do with his life work 1t is all
well and good for Vermont people to
of the state, but it lays us open to the
charge of being blinded and self-centered
when we magnify the incident of birth
beyond the value of the man himself.
So with all due Difference to Congress.
man Dale, we feel constrained to say
that the fact that Vermont gave Dewey
to the nation is not the "superlative
fact" to be brought out in connection
with the life of the famous admiral. At
the same time, We are willing to grant
that Congressman Dale had a perfect
right to call attention to the fact that
Dewey came from Vermont and to glory
in that contemplation. But the super
lative fact"-no.
