Nine Petrova in q powerful picturi-
cation of George Broadhurst's great
stage success 1.-THE Law of the Land. y
"A story of human experience thst
burns the whole gamut of human emo
tion is Nine. Petrova's latest and best
Paramount Picture 1.-The Law of the
Land. I" The prologue shows how a
sensitive girl is forced into loveless
marriage by her dissipsted mother.
The latter knows that the only witness
to q cheating episode at cards which if
known would bring down a food Of
scandal about her own and her daugh-
ter's ears. is Richard Harding. When
she learns that he wishes to marry her
daughter, she does everything in her
power to further his purpose. Thus
the loveless match is accomplished and
the daughter forced to jilt her real
fiance, Godfrey Morton A space of
five years elapses, and this is on the
eve of the return of Geoffrey Morton
from abroad where he went at the
time of Margaret's marriage. The
Hardings are outwardly happy, but no
one realizes what Margaret has had to
undergo at the hands of her husband
who is brute and fond of beating the
four-year-old child merely to hurt his
wife. After one particularly trying
scene Margaret, desperate, tells her
husband that the boy is the son of
Jeoffrey Morton. The husband furi-
ously tries to vent all his rage on the
boy with cruelty heavy quirt he holds
in his hands while Margaret, hardly
knowing what she does picks up re.
volver from the table and shoots him.
There is seemingly no way out al
though all conspire to help Margaret
for everyone who knows her adcres
her. An inspector is sent tn look into
the matter and he too, realizes what
conditions had been. A sudden turn of
fate in the shape of a wee bundle of
humanity wrapped in soft blankets at
the INSPECTORS house appears just at
this time and intervenes.

AT The Rennhlic Monday.

Anita Stewart, whose latest vehicle.
the Greater Vtiagraph's 'Clover's
Rebellion" appears at the Republic
Theater on Monday. came to the films
absolutely without experience on the
dramatic stage.
Miss Stewart was born in Brooklyn
on February II, 1897. While attend
ing Erasmus High School, she studied
vocal and pino music under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Mary Ginning, mother
and teacher of Louis Cunning, the
operaticstar. Under Mrs. Cummings
direction Miss Stewart appeared in
several amateur operas, taking small
parts with decided success.
Miss Stewards unusual type of
beauty had already started to attract
attention. She was frequently en-
ployed by artists as subject for cal
endars and pictorial photography. In
private life Miss Stewart is the
sister-in-law of Ralph Ince, then a
Vitagraph director. 1t was Though
him that she secured her first screen
opportunity.
For six months she learned the rudi-
ments Of screen acting, playing maids
and subordinate characters. Finally
came her first opportunity in 1.-THE
Wood Violet" still remembered by
film fans. Indeed. her performance
created profond impression, so great
that advancement came rapidly.
"The Lost Millionaire" came next
and Miss Stewart repeated her success.
Her first big hit was won in "A
Million Bid" an early Vitagraph five
reeler, since released as a de Luxe
edition. Since that production the
young stars hits have come thick and
fast. She established an attendance
record ct the Rislto Theater in New
York in 1.-THE Girl Philippe" visual
lied from the Robert Chambers novel.
At that time Mr.. Chambers pronounced
Miss Stewart an ideal heroine.
"Clover's Rebellion marks the sec
ond.appearance of Rudolph Cameron
opposite Miss Stewart.
The young leading man came to
the Yitsgraph from the Legitimate
stage, where he had won favorable
attention in a number of Broadway
plays. One of the last New York pro-
auctions in which Mr.. Cmeroan ap-
peared was "Rich Man, Poor Man. -
Mr.. Cameron scored personal nit of
bis own in this drama.
Mr.. Cameron came to the Vitagraph
company short time ago and made
his first appearance, playing opposite
Anita Stewart, iu 1.-THE More Excel
lent Way" His work won the favor
able..comments of the New York mo-
tion picture reviewers, who pronounced
Mr.. Cameron one of the film finds of
the year.

To Whitewash Culverts As
Precaution Against Accidents.

To apply coat of whitewash is
usually synonomous with some investi-
cation either financial. political or
legal. In this case, however, this
term means entirely different thing.
Chairman Zouck of the Good Roads
Commission, has issued an order that
a liberal dose of whitewash shall be
applied to all the culverts crossing
the good roads system within the
state. This is not intended to cover
up anything, but rather to bring into
full light these stone archways which
have proved menace, especially to
the motorists throughout the state.
In addition to applying the white
wash all underground and shrubbery
tending to obscure the presence of
these culverts is to be removed in or
der that they can be more readily seen
by all drivers.

NAVY LEAGUE REGRETS
RECENT CONTROVERSY
Apologies For Statements That Caused
Secretary Daniels To Sever
Relations.

The Navy League has issued a state
ment in which it announces the ac-
ceptance of the report of the Naval
Board on the Mare Island explosion,
and expressed regret that in a former
statement is gave currency to an opin-
ion that the investigation was being
hampered by the Navy Department
under the influence of powerful labor
interests.
The Leagues statement also regrets
that, in referring to labor influence, it
was not made clear that it did not re-
fer to the standard labor unions, but
to the Germanized Industrial Work
ers of the World" The statement,
issued with the approval of Col Rob-
ert NJ Thompson, president of the
League, says the organization is con-
WINGED there were no "hampering in
structions or restrictive direction as
TO the method of investigation"
While the Navy Department was
investigating the explosion, which
killed and injured more than 30, in
July, the League issued a statement
declaring a reliable informant had
told it that a time fuse leading to the
black powder magazine had been
found, but that the investigation was
being blocked by powerful labor
influences.
The issuance of the statement
caused bitter controversy with
Secretary Daniels, who at once cut all
connections with the Navy League,
ordered all of its members excluded
from naval ships or stations and re-
fused to accept for, the navy contribu-
lions of comforts being made for sea-
men by thousands of women through
out the country.
The official report of the Mare Is
land disaster. made public a little
later, confirmed the finding of the
time fuse. charged a criminal con
spiracy by persons unknown. but de-
MED that the investigators worked
under any restrictions
The Leagues acknowledgment and
expression of regrets now is expected
TO lead to a resumption of relations
with the navy.
