1.-THE DAWN OF FREEDOM" A 1T PA LA CE 1RE.

The Nitagraph feature. "The Dawn of Freedom" now showing at the Palace. has it's strong drawing power in its nddity. There are plots and plots. but this one is really odd. The opening goes back to the revolution of '76 and the days of George Washington with all of the old styles; the Indian days of Pennsylvania. A man is buried. to escape death at the hands of the In- dians. it being expected that he would be awakened within five hours. But he sleeps, under the powerful drug ad- mnistered for 100 years and is then jared loose by a dynamite explosion The day is then of the present and the good he accomplishes is manifest.
 One of the strong arguments of this Vitagraph production is the plea for arbitration in wage disputes or in any other kind of labor trouble.
 Charles Richman is the principal character in this production and he has associated with him those who eX tremely good Airline Pretty, and the old veteran Edward Elkas. are in the cast.
 "The Dawn of Freedom" will be re- peated again tonight and tomorrow, the bill not being changed until next We'd ncsday night.

JAPANESE WOMAN STAR
 APPEARS AT THE DREAM.

Alien Souls at the Dream pre- sents a most remarkable Japanese wo- man actress, Tsuru Aoki, who makes her first appearance in Juneau. While Sessue Hayakawa is starred in this play the woman is the real star. She does some mighty clever acting. her part is the one around which interest eenters. The story is about Japan csc girl. whose betrothment. when young. to Japanese in the Flowery kingdom comes to America to be edu- cated She falls in love with a man supposedly so. The Japanese she was betrothed to. is her guardian in Ameri- ca and he warns her that no good of marriage with an American will re- suit. The story leads up to an exciting finish, an unusual one, which would be spoiled by telling it. The plot of the play reveals the impossibility of Oriental and Occidental marriages.
 Sessue Hayakawa. while disliked by ter in "The Cheat" appeals to all in this production. He Is right in his pur- poses. his ideas and his attainments. He stays with his own race of people and wants the American to stay with his. There are only four prominent characters but they are strong ones.
 Temples and Mitchell. musicians. also give pleasing turn.
 Alien Souls will be given tonight and tomorrow, the latter night for the benefit of Red Cross

Figuring out when the shooter
PHONE FOUR ONE FOUR


 Figuring out when the shooter misses" has become quite a game in Atlantic City and everyone Is playing. You cannot help but en- thuse and get into the game after watching the electrical display. It is only human to try and solve the puzzle-and ascertaining just when the shooter misses is puzzle. Thousands check up the misses each night, keeping tabs by the hour, but on no two nights thus far has the rotation of misses been the same.
 It took five months to perfect the scheme of having the shooters miss and the changes had to be made so as not to affect the operation of the sign. The iron work was extended 10 feet and several hundred addi- tional lights are now in operation.
 This is the second change that has been made in the working of the great sign since 1t was first shown to public view-January 1. 1916 The original shooter was man. Then the idea was suggested to have a woman alternate with the the man in firing at the targets. This wonderful accomplishment was perfected and the fair Diana began alternating with the male shooter several months after the first oper- ation of the sign.
 There are 4000 lights in the en- tire sign which is 50 by 100 feet. The figures of the shooters are 21 feet high. The trap puller is IS feet inches tall. The target is IS inches in diameter. The sign cost upwards of $100.000.
 There are six operators to the sign, each one taking about one second. First the green lights come on, producing lawn effect. and then in order appears the trap shooter, who places his gun to his shoulder and aims as the trap butler raises behind him. The butler throws the lever, which releases the target. You soon learn whether the target is hit or missed. When hit the target bursts into hundreds of small lights, looking for all the world like the fragments of a tar get When the target is missed it travels the length of the sign and disappears into the night.
 It is most interesting display and has proved the only means so far of graphically depicting the actual sport of trapshooting by me- chanical effects.

GETS g., AND JUNEAU }
 PLAYING BALL
Juneau Regulars Not in Game and Hard Playing by Thane Cops Off
 the Big End.

By to 3, Thane yesterday admin ball grounds in Last Chance Basin. The game was ragged on the part of the Juneau team all the way through accounted for by the fact that only five of the regulars were in the line up Fry, Juneau's pitcher, being one of the missing regulars. Thane play ed a good, consistent game of base ball, considering the fact that they had everything their own way, and the only wonder is that the score was not larger.
 The Juneau pitcher made five wild pitches and the Juneau catcher let ten balls get past him. in the sec ond inning Thane made four scores and every one was made on wild pitch or a passed ball Two scores Thane in the same way, and another in the fifth In the eighth inning Thane made two runs which were earned, the only earned runs of the day, made by them. Heinkle got first on a passed third strike and stole second. He was brought home by Miller who placed one over the fence into the creek.
 Juneau's two runs were directly traceable to errors on the part of the Thane players, one due to a dropped fly and the other to a wild throw to first base.
 The teams lined up as follows:
 Thane Wells of, Van Wrinkle If, Heinkle If, Gamorra 1st, Miller End. Hodgkins ss, Kearney 3b, Sonnet C., Ford D.
 Juneau-Fossas End, Vincent ss, c. coleman Bob Herrick. catchers, Cloudy 3b.. Kesselring. p, Sewers cf, Coleman 1st, Gray If, Pullen and Brotherton If

"puRITY" AN INTERESTING
 PRODUCTION AT COLISEUM.

Reauty-the kind that makes artists rave and that has the universal appeal that touches all classes-was at the Coliseum last night and on account of the worthiness of the production will be given three more nights. This beau ty" is the art film sensation Purity.
 Thus unusual film shows the re- nowned Audrey Munson. the artists model who won world wide fame by her posing for statutes that adorned the Panama Pacific Exposition and who has been seen in other films and who will pose for Humanity when the present war Is ever
 Audrey Munson's figure has been de- clared by sculptors as the most perfect ever presented in art. She is slender and ehaste in type- and her inteiiec- tua1 face removes any suggestion or vciuptuousness on the display of her entire figure. She stands for art su- preine and that is why the display of this remarkable and daring film has passed unchailenged and why critics have pronounced the production a splendid display of art. There is noth- ing that any child, man or woman can take exception to-if right minded. No
