pieces of photograph realization pro-
duced recently. He will give another
exhibition of that ability to enact
Western roles, that has justly made

vorably with Birth of Nation

MASS MEETING
DEMANDS THAT
mitchell RUNS
Gotham Citizens Endorse
His Candidacy On indie
epedent Ticket

New York, Oct. IA mass meeting
of citizens in the City Hall park to-
day, designed to convince Mayor Nit
chel that there is a genuinely sub
staneial demand on the part oe the
voters that he rum for reelection on
an independent ticket, marked the
opening of what promises to be one OF
the most bitterly fought mayoralty
campaigns in the history of New
York. Among the announced speak
ers were Charles e. Hughes, Alton B.
Parker and Henry Morgenthau, for
mer~ ambassador to Turkey. Colonel
Roosevelt also was expected to speak.
Added to the confusion arising from
the Republican primaries, in which
William M. Bennett, former state sem
ator, won the mayora1ty nomination
over Mayor Mitchell after the latter
apparently had been nominated, lead
ers of the various factions profess
concern about the socialist strength
and the probable effect it will have on
the result next month. This strength,
it is expected, will come largely from
peace advocates and others not IN
sympathy with the entrance of the
United States to the war.

LYRIC

How great a demand can one make
In the name of lover
This is the question which Charles
Sumner author Of 1.-THE Natural
Law this weeks attraction at the
Lyric theatre, has tried to. solve in
one of the most sensational dramas of
sex ever produced.
In offering this play, however,
which deals in an outspoken manner
some OF the facts of life which are
usually never mentioned, the man
agement Of the Lyric, has not put into
the hands of the Poll Players a ques-
tionable offering. 49,.
In spite OF its theme. "The Natural
Law has been so deftly written, that
1t instructs, without offending, and
unfo1ds atgreat problem, without sac
riicing for one instant the demands
of decepcy and conventionality.
Not 9only the church, but, the press,
ana eminent professors have united
in their. praise of the offering.
A young girl. who is engaged to
marry a physician, embarks upon a

by the inepftable caIl OF youth for

When the girl finds herself about to
become mother, she goes to the one
