The fluctuations of the great bat tie have now developed to stage where the resisting power of the Italians has been demonstrated to be sufficient to retard, if not to prevent, any sudden rush through the passes leading to the Venetian plains. This was regarded as serious menace six days ago. but as each day has shown the Italian lines holding against re- peated attacks and their defenders ready even to take the aggressive against heavy odds, the feeling Of gravity that then prevailed is chang ing to one of restored confidence, coupled with spirit of buoyancy which pervades all ranks of the army and civilian life.
 ALLIED SUPPORT ENCOURAGES
 There is also the feeling that friendly allied support is near at timely moment and that the mingled ranks will combine to form the barrier Italy has sustained alone until now.
 Many British officers were at head quarters today. The Prince of Wales renewed his earlier visit, going about the streets and mingling with the of- ficers at public restaurants in the most democratic fashion.
 It is reported from the Friuli region, occupied by the enemy, that the civil population has been required to turn over all copper articles, grease and oils in it's possession within five days. Emperor Charles is said to have made another visit to the invaded region, going to the coast cities of Grado and Monfalcone.

Memory once interrupted is not to be recalled, but writ ten record is a fixed lumin- ary, a faithful repository, which everlastingly preserves events in their proper sta tions.

The Sound-Spelling Method of teaching French presents first the English word; then its French equivalent and then, spelled in English syllables, comes the French word as it sounds to English ears. Ex- haustive tests prove this meth cd so simple that even a child readily acquires French with correct pronunciation. This is the easiest and most effec- tive means of language teach ing ever invented.

thing of a sensation at the falace yes
terday afternoon and evening. MISS
La Mar. in addition to possessing the
acute sense for lost jewelry which APP
parentlv is part and parcel Oh all
mind readers, goes beyond that point,
and rliblv tells names, draft numbers,
homo towns and other secrets. Not
even the certainty that they we're pe-
ing tricked could keep yesterdays au-
diences from marvelling, for the new
comer's exhibition is by far the most
amazing of a long line Of vaudeville
telepathists. .J
Elsie Janis, present for second
week, altered her repertory to lncIuue
two new impersonaJions and one or
two revivals. Frances White ana
Emma Carus are Miss Janlss !atesI

On the Screen
Jack and the Beanstalk, at
the Globe, Best Fox
Has Ever Done

"Jack and the Beanstalk' is the most
artistic picture William Fox ever has
produced, and this is said with due
apologies to "Neptune's Daughter" "A
Daughter Of the Gods" and "The Honor
System"
The heat, which was so intense as to
be almost tragic, did not keep people
away from the opening, which took
place last night at the Globe Theatre
and every seat was filled.
The kiddies all think that Jack and
the Beanstalk" was produced especially
for them, and so il was-one angie OF
il at least-but it is filled with such
delicious. subtle humor that the theatre
rang with applause. Two marvellous
children, Francis Carpenter and Slr-
giuia Lee Corbin, play the leads; N0t
only are they the most beautiful emil
dren on the screen, but they are 'he
most talented. n.
The acting of Virginia, as the PrLh-
cess. in her love scenes with JACK, VINO
has came to slay the giant, IS simply
awav ahead Of anything that any
other child ever has accomplished
Virginia is four and a half, and Fran
cis is a wear older. But they are Dy
no roeans the only clever children IN
the picture. There is Violet Radcllne,
Who gives the cutest impersonatlon OF
prince Rudolpho, the villain, who up
braids Jack in a frenzy of Jealousy
and there is Carmen De Rue, whose
King of Cornwall should make history.
"Jack and the Beanstalk' is MADE
nerfectly plausible by having a mod
ern prologue where Jack and the Prin-
cess appear as Francis and Virginia
something after the manner OF the
beautiful drama "The Road to iester-
day"
Francis and Virginia have nurse
who reads them fairy stories, but their
fayorite is Jack and the Beansta!k !;
so il is not unnatural that when their
mammas 20 to tea and leave them
alone thew should set out in search OF
the enchanted forest.
Francis tells Virginia TO meet MN
at the crossroads at 3 o'clock, and
womanlike, she arrives trst. She Is
fearfully agitated, and finally eX-
claims: "If Francis does not come,
dare not return home, and | an
ruined" But Francis finally appears,
driving his little motor car, and the
two children start off on the road to
adventure.
The adventures of Jack and the
Princess make the story, which is more
beautifully produced than one would
believe possible. Nothing has been
left out which might contribute TO the
perfection of the picture. But, in
spite of the fact that the settings arc
magnificent. the photography marvel
and the children beautiful, it is the
wonderful humor of the production
which has the greatest appeal. The
titles contribute not q little 10 this
humor.
One of the titles says, "And Jack
climbed up and up and up. and thare
il was dark and COOL" and oh how
the spectator longed 10 follow Jack
into the clouds. II. I.
