Patrons OF the Leader yesterday
saw one Of the powerful picture plays
OF the season in The Highway OF
Hope" in which KathIyn williams
and House Peters, two prime favorites
in Washington, are starring. and
which is the offering there for the
FIRST three days Of the week.
The story pictures a woman caught
in the swirl in the whirlwind growth
Of a Western mining town in Death
Valley. 1t is a thrilling narrative OF
how she SINKS from the heights to the
lowest depths. and how she wins her
way back. As the woman Miss VIII
Hams has opportunities of which she
takes fullest advantages.
For the latter half of the week
Louise Hun and Jack Pickford will

Stratton Porter's celebrated novel,

CrandaII's Apollo.

While frankly a melodrama IN
every sense of the word. The Hunt
ing of the Hawk" today's film at
traction at Crandalrs Apollo which
features William CouTtenay and Mar
guerite Snow, is none the less inter
esting. The story centers about an
attempt to steal a necklace. The
heroine Miss Snow) falls in love with
Desselway CMr. Courtney, then has
reason later to suspect him Of being
THE Hawk" q crook OF international
fame. To the end the audience is
kept in just as much doubt about
the matter as is the girl.
The program for the remainder of

Casino.

"The Sin Woman" the current
weeks attraction at the Casino
Theater, is interpreted by a cast
Of unusual merit, headed by
Irene Fenwich, Refine Davies and
Clifford Bruce. 1t visualizes the
theory of reincarnation, beginning
with the original sin in the Garden
of Eden. II is shown that the Of
Tending woman through the centuries
is one and the same reincarnated
maiden in direct lineage.
Each example is punctuated by a
spectral introduction OF a garrulouS
old witch, busy over a boiling caldror
OF woe.
The earlier episodes are sumptuous-
ly visualized, notably that OF the
Feast OF Belshazzar.
The central character in the mod
ern story is Grace Penrose, a DENT
zen OF the modern Bagdad of New
York city.
The Sin Woman" will hold the
screen at the Casino all week, and
will be accompanied at all showings
by the photoplayer. a novel musical
instrument that gives the effect of
full band.

THE TWO MOST DIFFICULT COM.
PANY MOVEMENTS.

We now come tG the two company
movements most difficult to master.
They are ION right Qeft) into line" and
fright Qeft) front into line" Both
movements must be executed from col
u1nn of squads.
To form the company line on the
right or left from the column of
squads, the command is ION right
Qeft) into line, MARCH. Com
pany, HALT. 'FRONT.'"
At the preparatory command from
the captain, the corporal of the first
squad gives his own men the command
Fright turn" the corporals of the re-
manning squads give Forward" At
MARCH" the command of execution,
the leading squad turns to the right
on a moving pivot-that is, it executes
fright turn" as taught in the school
Of the squad.
The command "Halt" is given when
the first squad has advanced the de-
sired distance in the new direction.
This command is from the captain,
and will halt the whole company squad
by squad as the successive squads
place themselves in line with the lead
ing squad. AS soon as the halt is ex-
ecuted by the first squad, the corporal
commands, fright Dress and the
squad continues to remain at the right
dress until the movement is completed

alignments.
The other squads, in obedience to
the command Forward" from their
corporals, continue to march straight
to the front until each is opposite the
right of its place in the line. 1t then
executes fright turn" at the command
of the corporal, and is halted on the
line at the command of its corporal.
He then gives, Fright Dress" Each
unit in succession dresses on the first
unit in line.

One-Sided Recognition.

They passed on the street without
speaking, but their eyes had mutual
recognition and challenge. She was
accompanied by female friend. and
he had male companion. When they
had passed the girl said:
THAT was poor Jack Jurgens. He
didn't speak, but you noticed his look,
didn't you? Poor boy, 1t hurts me to
think how he has never got over my
refusal to marry him. OF course he
was all broken up at the time, but l
thought he would soon get over it.
He's thinner, isn't he? / do hope that
he hasn't plunged into dissipation. He
couldn't trust himself to speak, could
he? Oh, dear!''
And the man was saying:

me the eye? l suppose l should have
spoken to her, because l can't help
thinking I've met her somewhere
face is familiar, but l can't place her"

cept the leader of the first squad, give
the command fright obliQue." If the
company is at halt, the corporal of
the first squad commands Forward"
Gle usually does this anyhow, for the
instruction of his men, although it is
not required by the regulations if the
column already is marching) At
"msrch," the command of execution
from the captain, the first squad moves
straight to the front, while the rear
squads each oblique as indicated.
When the leading squad has adj
vanced the desired distance, the com
mand halt" is given by the captain.
The squad halts, and the corporal gives
the command left dress" Each Of
the succeeding squads when, by
obliquing to the right, has reached a
point opposite its position in line,
marches forward" at the command OF
it's corporal; by this command it is
also halted and executes the cleft
dress" All dress on the first unit in
line.
In this movement it will be observed
that there is a variation from the
usual series of commands. For exam
pie, although we have fright front into
line" followed by right oblique," this
is not brought to a conclusion with
right Dress" but with LEFT
DRESS" Yet the reason is obvious
to the new soldier when he has once
seen the movement executed. The lead
ing squad, remember marches straight
to the front and the other squads
oblique to the right. This causes them
to form on the right of the first squad
when they reach the line. The first
squad, therefore-the squad upon
which all the others are to dresS-is
now established at their left. 1t is
necessary, then to give cleft dress
