1.-THE Witehing Hour
Successful on Screen.

Augustus Thomas can have no COM
plant to make of the manner in which
his play. "The Witching Hour" has
been adapted for screen purposes.
AS "A six-part protodrama "The Witch
ing Hour was presented at the EN-
press theater yesterday before large
crowds. 1t deserves good patronage
today.
The spirit and. to a large extent, the
form of the play have been retained
and are strengthened by the vigOr
which the screen alone can give. In
the first reel the action reaches a high
tension which never slackens. The
plot is based on the telepathic power
of Jack Brookfield a Louisville
gambler, which enables him to sway
weaker intellects around him. I'm
consciously he suggests through his
psychic power the method by which a
political aspirant may kill the gov
ernor. and 1t Is done. Clay Whipple,
the son of an old friend of Jacks. is
a boy who has inherited un unreason-
ing and uncomfortable fear of Il cats
eye. In an insane moment Clay COM
mits murder and Is later brought to
trial. A political aspirant who Is pros
ecutins the boy has all but won his
case when BroOkfield again brings his
telepathic power to work on 4 member
of the jury to hold out for verdict
Of mot guilty" This juror succeeds
in hanging the jury long enough for
the exposure of the lawyer as the man
responsible for the governors death

ST LOUIS BOARDS !,
HAVE MANY VIEWS
Some Exempt War Grooms,
Others Grab EN-.

st. Louis, Mo.-A widely divergent
policy Of the various war boards in
refusing claims Of war brides" rs de.
pendents was discovered when repre-,
sentatives Of IL wards and one county
district met at the city hall to discuss
unity Of action in handling exemption
cases.
It was found that, while some
boards frown upon marriages con-
tracted after war was declared. others
consider May Is. the day the selective
draft act was approved. as the dead
line" while still others go no further
into the candidates matrimonial his.
tory than June S. registration day.
Judge Seldcn p. Spencer. chairman
of the meeting, declared it the policy
Of the district board not to consider
any wife a dependent who was mar
ried after the day war was declared.
The status of the local boards in the
case Of men examined in other cities
was considered at length. Judge
Spencer stated that in his opinion the
local boards retain control of men OK
amined In other cities unless they
specifically waive their rights. and
that exemption claims therefore should
be made before the local boards.

HURRICANE DAMAGE
RELATIVELY SMALL
Tropical Storm Sweeps
States Along Gulf Coast.

New Orleans, Sept. 2S.-Although
the wind at places attained velocity
as high as 100 miles an hour. the hur-
ricane-swept section of the gulf coast
from the Mississippi river to the west
Of Florida escaped serious damage to-
day. unless there was great loss at
Pensacola. the only city which tonight
was cut off from communication.
For hours this afternoon and tonight
the entire coast was isolated. all tele-
graph and telephone wires being down,
and great anxiety was felt.
With communication restored to-
night to Mobile, Gulfport. Biloxi, and
other gulf towns there were no reports
of loss of life and the property loss
apparently was comparatively small.
Railroad bridges along the gulf were
damaged and at Mobile and other
cities some buildings were unroofed.
The slight damage done along the
coast was attributed to the fact that
the shore and averting the beach wash
to the north, blowing the water from
the short and averting the beach wash
which heretofore has caused great
damage.

most any play would he sure of well
come in Missoula after this long, play
less summer; the fact that Henrietta
Crosman is to inaugurate the theatrical
season should be q guarantee Of a
crowded house.
Miss Crosman will be seen tonight
in an atmosphere made use of on the
stage for the first time. "Erstwhile
Susan" adapted by Marian de Forest
from Helen r. Martins novel, Barn
abetta," is a pretty story of Pennsyl-
vania Dutch life, and the quaint at
nosphere has been transferred from
book to theater with remarkable sue
cess. Miss Crosman has found in her
present role an unusually delightful
opportunity and has used it as only an
actress with her command OF def,
light comedy could.
Answering an advertisement placed
in a Pennsylvania newspaper for a
wife by tight listed, surly Barnady
Dreary, Susan Miller, an affected pos
ing lady, high-flown in speech and
'individual' in dress, finds herself the
wife of a most bigoted and narrow
Pennsylvania Dutchman, and the step
mother of two grown young men and
a girl in her teens, Barnabetta. The
miserable existance of this little step
daughter appeals to Susan's heart and
awakens the world old note of mother
love. So she sets to work to win
Barnabetta her freedom and the man
she loves. How despite her super
fetal airs and graces Susan accom-
plishes this. forms an amusing and
interesting story.

His Return.
JUDGE ENTHUSIASTIC
Trip Flock Good as Any,
Poultry Expert Tells
Breeder.

While Missoula county did not win
q county prize, 1t was SO we'll repre-
scented in the matter of quality, that
quantity was out distanced in so far as
the attractive features Of the poultry
display at the Montana state fair was
concerned. according to w. L. Perry,
who had charge Of the poultry exhibit.
Mr.. Perry returned from Helena yes
terday.
Ravalli county easily won first county
display prize, as each specimen count
ed for one point. However, Ravalli
county made wonderful showing in
some Of the classes.
Missoula's prize winners were the
property Of Henry Trip and Charles
Reardon. the former entering Barred
Plymouth Rocks and the latter Part
ridge wyandottes. Mr.. Trips birds
captured all OF the first prizes and the
great majority OF the balance, only a
few Of the minor honors going to other
exhibitors.
In the Partridge wvandotte class,
Mr. Reardon won all firsts from A. D.
A. Parchen Of Helena. an exhibitor
who has been having things his own
way for some years.
Tucker Praise Trip Flock.
The awards were placed by Judge ].
A. Tucker Of Royal Oak Mich, a man
who has placed awards at nearly all
OF the big shows Of the country and
has handled the best poultry raised in
America. In commenting on Mis-
soula's birds. he was loud in his praises
OF the quality shown from here. Mr..
Perry says. In the Barred Rock class
ne stated that some of Mr.. Trips
birds were equal to any he had ever
seen In the Coliseum show at Chicago,
and strongly advised Mr.. Trip to ex-
hibit at this show this winter. He
was greatly taken with these birds and
pronounced the breeder one of the best
In the country today.
Rsardon Birds Good.
In going over Mr.. Reardon's birds
after the Judging was done, he stated
that the females were the very best he
nad ever had the pleasure of judging
N all the years he has been in the
business.
when two entries from one county
can win all the first prizes in thei,
class at the Montana state fair it must
be assumed that Missoula county has
some birds and some men who know
their business in the poultry breeding
game" said Mr.. Perry yesterday.
