THE STRAND

Within the Law" Bayard Veillers' sohderful drama, screened by. Great CT Vitagraph, now being presented at me Strand Theatre, answers the ques- ton so often asked by the average layman: How does he do it and keep out of jail?''
 The answer is plain! A clever lawyer can outline some procedure ordinarily criminal, but when sur rounded by legal technique, absolute ly proof against criminal procedure.
 Alice Joyce, the Vitagraph star, in the role of Mary Turner, the shop girl, proves the case. She had been sent to prison for a term of three years for department store theft of which she was innocent. While serving her sentence she, studies law. She discovers that she can do many things, absolutely criminal if she hides behind the skirt of legal pro- cedure.
 When she is r. eased Mary needs money. She reads the advertise nent of a crooked real estate firm seeking money for investment. First obtaining the advise of lawyer, she

She signs partnership papers and as one of the partners obtains the right to check against the firms bank account. She withdraws $50, ,00O from the firn's account tells the sharpers that they are pair of crooks seeking to swindle her, and keeps the money without fear of prosecu- ton.
 One of her friends ensnares veal thy man and keeps his "mushy' notes. The girl friend decides to sell the notes back to the aged admirer. "No," advises Mary, That would be blackmail. Instead, we will start a breach of promise suit. That is le-al blackmail.p Ten thousand dollars is the reward for threatening to start the suit. f
 These are things that prove a per son may be without the law and at the same time remain out of jail.

 Why were Grade dollars" issued by the United States after the civil war7 What is the value of one today?
 The trade dollar of 1873 was issued for export to the far east to facilitate trade with China and Japan. It was not for circulation in the United States. The coin weighed APO grains and was just trif1e heavier than the Mexican dollar. The issue was suspended in 1887. A trade dollar is worth today about 50 cents.

 The autonomous republic of Mores- net, on the boundary between Ger many and Belgium. Moresnet has an area of barely one and one-quar- ter miles and a population of 3,5G0. A boundary commission, settling from tiers after the fan of Napoleon in 1914, was unable to agree on the ownership of this tiny piece of land and finally left the question for future settlement. Meanwhile it was to be administered Jointly by the two states. The joint administration soon resulted ip an ad- ministration by neither state, and the community became self governing un- der the protection of Prussia and Bel gium. In 1S41 the two guaranteeing countries gave the district its own in dependent administration. On reach ing the military age the youth of Nor esnet has the choice of serving either Belgium or Germany.

"MExIcO AND HER PROBLEM

| On first thought one naturally
thinks that DR.. Kendall, who speaks
in this city at the city hall on this
subject Jan. 26th, at the invitation
of the Civic League, will treat it in
political light, but as a matter Of
fact he will only touch indirectly
upon the political condition of our
neighboring country.
Frederick Palmer said: "Their
ways are not ours, and they like
their ways because they are theirs"
1t is on 'Their Way" that DR..
Kendall will talk.
DR.. Kendall, whose father was one
of the best known men among the
builders of the first Mexican rail-
roads, lived in Mexico when a child
and has several times visited the
country since then.
He lived in Celaya at a
time when that country was full Of
bandits and revolutionists and saw
conditions. there in the early days
when President Diaz was just bring
ing the country'out of chaos into a
state or order.
This lecture will be illustrated by
pictures Of the country, showing
the picturesqueness Of the land and
it's people.
Those who have had the pleas
ure of hearing DR.. Kendall, know
what a treat there is in store for
those who attend this free lecture.

TWO FAVORITES
IN ONE PHOTOPLAY

Producers of motion pictures, in
a large majority of instances, de-
pend upon the transient glory of
"stars" or the fleeing value of
"big names" to make attractive
their productions. Bluebird Photo
plays, Inc, is one Of the firms that
constitutes an exception to the rule
for Bluebird believes, with Shakes
pear, that "The Plays the Thing"
Having selected the play however,
Bluebird producers give the next
greatest care to casting" the play
selecting the artists who shall in
terpret the various roles. Not being
dependent upon the peculiarities of
any one individuals artistry, Blue
bird selects the best players, best
suited to best interpret the various
roles.
Occasionally "stars" enter into
the scheme of casting" Bluedird
but only because they are suited
to the roles, and not because they
have a "name." There is an instance
Of this in "The Social Buccaneer" to
be exhibited at the Evangeline to-
night in Bluebird Photoplays.t When
this producing firm started in bust
ness the "name" practice was fol-
lowed in advertising Bluebird's pro-
duct.
J. Warren Kerrigan will be read
lily recalled as the star Of "A Son Of
the Immortals" by those who have
followed the fortunes of Bluebird
on the screen. In the same series he
also portrayed "The Gay Lord War
ing" and likewise fought s'The Sill
ent Battle; all in the extreme artis-
try. Louise Lovely was exclusively a
Bluebird star, never having appear
ed upon the screen, either in this
country or her own Australia before
she played the leading role in "The
Grip Of Jealousy" Latter she was
seen as the star Of Tangled Hearts"
"The Gilded Spider" Bobby of the
Ballot" "The Grasp of Creed" and
was one Of the two beautiful girls
in 'Bettina Loved Soldier" play
ing Bettini--all Bluebirds.
I'm Social Buccaneer" both Mr..
Kerrigan and Miss Lovely will be the
leaders, in the presentation Of two
star photoplay Of gripping interest.
Frederic s. Isham's widely popular
novel formed the basis for the seem
ario. It's q "Best Seller" and now
it's Bluebird.
