"Tbe Prison Without Walls. )"

Dealing with prison grafters and re-
formers, 1.-THE Prison Without Walls, y
which comes to the Grand Monday, is
well-made picture telling good
story. Wallace Reid has the male
lead, that of a prison reform expert
who dons prison garb la Tom Brown
of Auburn, as Thomas Mott Osborne
was known when he made his ia
nous weeks sojourn behind the bars
in Sing Sing penitentiary. Mr.. Reid
| does splendid work-restralned, con-
vincing, the antithesis of the meEo-
dramatic. Opposite him is Myrtle
Stedman, in the role of Helen Aims
worth, a Lady Bountiful, with lean
ings to prison reform, too. Her char
acterization is a worthy one.
The course of the intrigue is clear
ly established-the forces of order OF
one side seeking for the one individu-
al who most profits from the crooked
contracts, and on the other the imam.
higher up" and his numerous subordi,
mates. There is woven into the fabric
pretty love story and many mo-
ments of strong drama.
Envy" First of "Seven Deadly Sins"
Everybody in Donaldsonville has
heard about the "iSeven Deadly Sins"
either of the temptations them
selves, or of the wonderful five-reel
Mcclure pictures grouped under That
title. Manager Bloomenstiel an
nounces that he has booked these
splendid plays, and that the first Of
the series, Ann Murdoch in Envy"
will be shown at the Grand next Tues
day. Each is complete production,
entirely different in theme and treat
ment from the others, but the seven
are connected by the love story of two
young folk, impersonated by Shirley
Mason and George LeGuere. In each,
Miss Mason, growing into womanhood,
is tempted by one Of the seven sins,
until at the end-well, Manager
Bloomenstiel won't tell what happens
in the end.
The seven features and their stars
are: Envy" Ann Murdoch; "Pride,"
Holbrook Blinn; Passion" Shirley
Mason; Wrath" III. B. Warner;
Greed" Nance O'Eeil;" Sloth, Char
lotte Walker; "The Seventh Sin, !"
George LeGuere.
The name Of the seventh sin is not
being announced. You are at liberty
to guess. Just think over the sins you
are particularly fond of committing
and one of the twenty or twenty-five
is sure to be the right one.

"The Man of Mystery"

In the five-part Vitagraph Blue Rib
bon feature, 'The Man Of Mystery
which the Grand will present as its
Friday attraction, E. I'll. sothern, who
plays the title role, makes a most re-
markable Transformation in his APP
pearance.
In the first part of the production,
Mr.. Sothern is seen as an elderly and
somewhat pompous gentleman with a
great growth of beard, crooked neck
and baggy eyes. His appearance is
anything but attractive and forms a
goal for the small, petty remarks of
Madame Brunchart, his mother-in-law
and a foreign spy.

Washington. Aug. 15.-The suf-

White House gained in violence to-
day when four women were roughly
handled by the crowd of more than
5000, which surged to and fro be-
tween the White House gates and the
suffragist headquarters in Cameron
house, fro mnoon until after 8 ocfock
this evening. Fifty banners were torn
to shreds, and Virginia Arnold, one
of the militants. was struck by an
over-ripe egg.
AS fast as the banners were torn
returned to their headquarters for
more. At one time when the new
banners were not coming out fast
enough, part OF the crowd attempted
to storm Cameron house from the
rear, with the intention of getting the
reserve supply of banners all at once,
They were repulsed by four stalwart
militants. who barred the rear door
and screamed for the police.
Later sailor attempted to scale a
fire escape to the second floor where
banner was hung. but was detected
and driven back. One man climbed
to the roof of the Cosmos club, ad-
joining in an attempt to get a banner
which the sufragists had depending

and tore banners and shirtwaists to
pieces.
Miss Stuyvesant accused a man Of
striking her, and hit at him with a
fagpole. She was arrested. but later
was released without any charge be-
ing placed against her. This was tho
