German Minister Denies
Shortage of RaW Materials

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 4.-Fears that
Germany might possibly be unable to
continue fighting owing to the lack OF
raw materials have been answered by
Major General Schuech, the new MIN
ister of Munitions, who, according to a
dispatch from Berlin, says:
Regarding the supply of raw ma
terials, particularly those required for
the manufacture of guns and NUM-
tions, we are not dependent solely on
the stock in hand, which, moreover,
would be insufficient. We have to pro-
duce them, and this production is pro-
ceeding satisfactorily"
General Schuech admitted that pro-
duction was interrupted temporarily
last wear because Of transport diff
culties. Although these seem to have
been overcome, the Minister of NUM-
lions expects probable recurrence the
coming winter.

MARGUERITE CLARK STARS IN
.STILL WATERS"
Famous Players Feature Tells Dra-
matte Tale Of Circus and Canal
Boat Life.

Though there have been many
songs extolling life on the ocean
wave, and innumerable plays that
picture the deeds and misdeeds of
the socially elect, life on our inland
waterways has seldom aroused the in
terest of the playwright. Hence Still
Waters" the story of canal-boat life
and of the circus, in which Marguerite
Clark is featured by the Famous
Players Film Company on the Para
mount Program at the PLAZA will
prove of special interest.
A company of players spent three
weeks on the banks of one of our
great canals in order to get the
scenes which show little Nesta MAR
guerite Clark and her old grandfath-
err on the canal boat, which is their
home. An entire circus was leased
for the purpose of getting the action
which transpires in and around the
tent, when the ring-master, having
marked Nesta for his prey, attempts
to force his attentions upon her.
In this remarkable. combination Of
pastoral romance and gripping drama,
Marguerite has the best opportunity
yet afforded her of displaying her
wonderful versatility. Already ack-

nowledged as superb in the art of
screen coquetry and generally recog-
nized as one of the most winsOme lit
tie misses in motion pictures, Miss
Clark, by her tremendous powers as
dramatic actress, will add to her
laurels as photoplayer. 1t is seldom
that a young actress who gains popu-
larity as an ingenue rises to any
considerable heights in emotional ex-
preston. Therefore the performance
of Miss Clark in still Waters" is
one of the most notable of recent
screen achievements.
For the scenes which transpire in
and about the circus, an entire travel
ing show was leased by the Famous
Players and Harry La Pearl, one Of
the most celebrated clowns that ever
appeared at the New York Hippo
drome, was especially engaged to play
opposite Miss Clark. These circus
scenes, many of which combine dar-
ing performances with thrilling &C.
ton, are the best that have ever been
obtained in any tent show.
In support of the diminutive star.
there appear, besides Harry La Pearl,
Robert Broderick, Robert Vaughn, Ar
thur Evers and other well-known
stage and screen favorites.
