LoeW's Columbia.

The Amazons," a photo production
of Sir Arthur Wing Pinero's famous
play. will be shown at Loew's Column
bia Theater from Sunday to Wednes-
day, inclusive. Marguerite Clark is
pictured In the part created in the stage
production by Billie Burke. The story.
it may be remembered, is built about
the experiments of an aristocratic
Englishwoman, who, disappointed that
none of her children are boys, deter
mines to bring up three very charming
girls as though they were of the sterner
sex. They are taught to ride. shoot,
swim and do all the things presumed
to be a part of the masculine carricu-
lum. The result is that the three young
women become perfect tomboys, as
athletic as they are fair to look upon.
The most energetic Of the three is i'm
personated by Miss Clark and her &C.
tfvities before the camera included
such strenuous stunts as entering a
prize ring to knock out a thug, leaping
from a second-story window to elude
the unwelcome attentions of an ad-
mirer and a transfer from the back of
a runaway horse to a speeding auto
mobile, all incidents limited at in the
original play, which the demand for
realism in movie dramas compelled Miss
Clark to visualize. THE Amazons" is
the first Of the "super-pictures" an
nounced by Loew's Columbia Theater
under the Nnew open-booking system.
The feature announced for the last half
Of the week is THE Law of the Land"
with Nine. Olga Petrova in the stellar
role.

House committee on expenditures in

he department was investigating Bos-
ton members of Congress because of

moval of the pneumatic tube service in

spector of the New England division
to look into an anonymous letter re-
ceived here at the department, vaguely
charging improper activities on the
part of persons interested in the pneu-
matte tube service.
He explained that the department
was interested in the pneumatic tube
fight and If responsible person had
written the anonymous letter the de-
partment would like to know on what
the charges were based.
Members Of the committee endeavored
to find out why the New England divi-
sion inspectors had not endeavored to
locate the writer of the anonymous
letter until four months after receiving
1t. but no answer was forthcoming to-
day.
The committee adjourned until Friday,
