 The story of the picture tells about the adventures of a young girl re- porter in New York. In this way a number of splendid views of this great city are obtained. We find Lillian Walker, who plays the title role, photographing views of the busy thoroughfare from the tops of high office buildings-from the 'bus'ses which travel up and down the wonder full avenues and all sorts of other places.
 A remarkable view of lower New York is seen with the bridges span ming the waters--the crowds far be- low in the street and the river traffic The Statue of Liberty can also be seen in tho distance.
 Another excellent view is afforded in bus ride up Fifth avenue. The large new library, which cost thou sands of dollars, is shown from every angle.
 Other sights, also, form a part oi

Enoch Arden,

Briefly stated" we explained, "the story of Enoch Arden was about as fol- lows: He went to sea and was ship wrecked on an uninhabited island where he remained for several years. When at last he was rescued MT. Ar den put out for home with consider able rapidity, only to find that during his absence Mrs. Arden had married again. What do you suppose was his subsequent action?" "Hard to figger," replied MT. Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, who had listened with deep interest to the recital. You can't tell which way toad will jump when you poke him, and folks is just peculiar, Prob'ly he either took a shot at his wife's second husband or else borrowed enough money off'n him to get back to his uninhabited island, and I wouldn't bet Q nickel on either horn of what d'ye-caN t!"-Exchange.

BEST THEATRE.

Today and Saturday, Marguerite Clark in Babes Burglar, will be the feature at the Bent theatre.
 We print the following review by Agnes Smith, which appeared in the New York telegraph:
 Babes Burglar, which relates to the further adventures of the sub-deb, is even funnier than it's predecessor, Babes Diary In fact, as comedy of youth, it one of the best thinsg that the screen has seen. It made the audience at the Strand fairly shout with laughter.
 "The story tells of the way of a maid with an allowance, or why, wealthy and imposed-upon fathers cannot understand the sense in giv- ing women the vote. The bare synop. sis won't stand retelling. It has been to we'll done by Mrs. Rinhart in the Saturday Evening Post and by MT. Dawley of the screen.
 "The farcical complications are many and the picture has a real plot, aside from it's amusing characteriza' tion. The scent which made the aud fence laugh hardest was the one in which Bab's first suitor steals one of her fathers cigars and gets deathly sick. Bab thinks that he parents have poisoned him., and has all the thrills of being the central figure in darg tragedy. sr y
 "As for Bab's experience with her automobile, which she buys with her allowance, and when poverty pinches turns into "jitney," they are. only equalled by those enjoyed by thelate Keystone police force.
 Altogether, the picture is real comedy, built for eral enjoyment. It is put in film form with excellent taste and with all it's opportunities for funny situations fully realized. Mar rsuerite Clark is wonderful Bab, a human girl ands no sawdust in- genue. Besides making her an anus 1 ing person to be laughed at, she man ages to bring sincerity and uncon- i scious charm to her characterization.
 Frank Losee, Nigel Barrie and Helen Greene are again seen in Miss Clark's support"

TARTAR WOMEN
 WIN FREEDOM

London, Dec. 18.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Tartar women in the far Russian provinces have dropped the veil and are freed from sex tyranny as result of the Russian Revolution. In the elections for the local Zemstoves they are vot' ing along with the men.
 A letter from KanZan says; "The women's movement here started in the revolution of 1905 as result of which the women began to go about unveiled. By 1910 a yelled woman was unknown in Kanzan. After the revolution in which the Emperor was deposed the Moslem women formed society and sent delegates to the first. All-Russia conference. Here they presented demands for the aboli- tion of polygamy and the Moslem inheritance law according to which female heirs receive smaller portions than male. A separate day is sci apart for the Tartar women to vote to satisfy the mullahs and old fash toned women. About forty percent of the women went to the polls or the last election.
 Tn Kanzan one has only to walk through the streets to see what Mos lem women are socially the equals oi men and have, shaken off. the shackles of centuries of sex tyranny"

It was authoritively stated that American representatives in Russia, diplomatic, economic and others, will carefully avoid any interference with the in- ternal politics, of tie, countl's.. and will he guided in their conduct by the strictest rules of neutrality as between Russian factions.

Their arrival fol. lows close upon that of. the ten mili- tary officers who came to attend the autumn manoeuvres and shows that at last China is waking up to the need of knowing Japan better. The newcomers will study Japanese affairs in general, but their special object is to become acquainted with newspaper business in the large cities of Japan. Much is being paid them by Chambers of Commerce and kind red institutions.
