The CRISIS" WORTH
While, FARGO VERDICT
Big Screen Production at the orphe-
um This Week Spectacular and
Accordingly Interesting.

Scenario writer's have found a
wealth of good material in The Girls
is, Winston Churchilrs novel. which
IS being presented in photoplay forlA
at the Orpheum this week, and Fargo
movie patrons will find it an absorb
ingly interesting story as well as a
spectacular production.
Most big productions sacrifice the
story element for the spectacular. but
n-The Crisis the production features
are not given undue prominence.
The fact that hundreds and perhaps
thousands of men are employed in
making a stirring battle scene of
civil war times, is not unduly empha-
sized at the expense OF the story, but
the spectator cannot but be convinced
at the vast scale on which the scenes
were staged.
The story is a charming southern
romance beginning in the period be-
fore the war and ending with the
conclusion of peace. Many historical
incidents are faithfully reproduced
Among them is the famous Lincoln
Douglas debate. The difficult task of
poptraying Lincoln on the screen is
handled with rare dignity and good
taste.
Whether II is considered just as en-
teEtainment, or as a spectacular
screen production, or as an interest
ing historical study, The Crisis is well
worth while.

out OF the fact that on Feb; is, 1917,
an infant boy was brought one even
ing to a Fargo boarding house for
infants, by a mother who told the
keeper the plausible story Of assud-
den change Of residence and the
necessity OF having her child board
ed for a few weeks until she could
establish a proper home for herself
and the child in another state.
Blind Child Abandoned.
She appeared to have great ma
ternal affection for the child and
appeared willing to pay in advance
for his care, which tended to disarm
the suspicion as to her real object
which was disclosed when upon
medical examination IL was discover
ed that the child was stone blind.
Efforts to find the mother carried
the executive officers of Cass county
into three states before the mother
was finally apprehended and lodged
in the Cass county jail. This ac-
complished, IL became matter Of
comparative ease to. properly and
suitably arrange for the care of this
child by those responsible for the
care as we'll as reimburse Cass coun-
,ty for its outlay in connection with
the boys care and apprehension Of
the mother. . 49,. -e-, s. ~ ...

I Judge Guptill stated this morning
that the juvenile court is continual
.ly required to consider problems of
this kind and TO devise ways and
means to minimize the evil results
therefrom. ,.-r. ...
He stated that in this particular
case il is estimated that the saving
to the taxpayers Of Cass county Is
not less than. 81, 900 based upon a
conservative estimate. -s e.. ,-
when one stops to consider" said
Judge Guptill in commenting on the
case, that the care OF this child in
an institution would cost the county
$3.50 annually, the average length OF
time in such cases being twenty
years and had this child been so
placed and lived the full twenty
years, the cost to the people Of Cass
county would have been $3,600, II
will be seen that the estimate of ST.
600 is very conservative" j.

Even the throbbing brain of an
Edgar Allen Poe or a Guy de Maui
| PEASANT could not conceive a drama
| staged on the oceans floor, with
fantastic marine fiora and fauna as
settings. with men in uncanny diving
suits as actors and with blinking
deep sea monsters as the audience.
This reversal of dramatic tradi-
| tions was brought about by Jules
| Verne in his 10000 Leagues Under
the Sea-" which has been made into
a photoplay and will be presented at
the Orpheum theater in Fargo on
Nov. 10, 20, 21 and %.
1t was only by making use of the
famous Williamson camera that it
was possible to produce this spec
tacle that has astounded great
| audiences wherever shown.
| Through 5000 feet of the most
amazing film that was ever unreeIed,
audiences are led for miles through
the cradle of the deep to witness
| sights that human eye has never be-
fore gazed upon. To preclude all
danger of monotony, the action is
also continued on the surface of the
water, on land and in the sky. The
| torpedoing of a ship and four mems
| dizzying plunge from a balloon, are
two Of the thrills that IRE staged
out of the depths.
The climax of the narrative is also
one that outdoes the most fervid
romancing of a Poe or a Maupas-
SAINT. 1t is the last stage in the career
of Captain Nemo-his funeral down
in the habitat of the deep sea fish.
It is a scene that never can be for
gotten, when six faithful friends
bear the body of their commander
through the trackless wastes of the
ocean and lay him away for his last,
long sleep in a bed of coral. ~
A problem Of vital Importance to
| progressive men and women is pre-
scented in More Truth Than Poetry,
| the five-act Metro wonderplay star

seen at the Isis theater today and
| Thursday. This is whether a man
has the moral right, when he

In More Truth Than Poetry, Ash

frankly that he is tired of her, and
no longer needs her. The way in
which this crisis is met in the Metro
wonderfully furnishes q highly dra-
matte climax to an absorbing screen

PICK BRONKIE
Indianapolis Third sacker Boosted to
Succeed Hendricks.
CIV AssoeIated Preas.l

indianapolis. Nov. 14.-Should Jack
Hendricks, manager of the Indianapo-
lis club which won the 1917 American
association pennant, be selected to
succeed Miller Higgins as pilot OF the
ST. Louis National league team, Her
man Bronkie, third baseman Of the
locals, will be named playing manag-
er to succeed Hendricks, according 20
the stove-league critics.
Bronlxie has been field captain of
the Indians for the last two seasons.
He had some managerial experience
in 1913 when he finished the season
as pilot OF the Toledo association
club after Topsy Hartsel had been de-
posed. Those who are so sure Bronkie
will succeed Hendricks in the event
of the latter leaving Indianapolis,
point to the fact that such an APP
pointment would be a good wartime
measure, as Bronkie would be a play
ing manager and thus would save the
salary Of one man. Bronkie came to
indianapolis in 1914, when J. G. Nc
Gill purchased the club.
