Dear Sir: This bank subscribed for
$4,000 stock of the North American

the stock would not prove satisfac-
tory investment.

On the Screen
Tragedy, The Fated Hour,
Shown Here, Turns Out
To Be a Comedy

The Cines Film Corporation showed
a picture called "The Fated Hour" TO
an invited audience at the New York
Roof yesterday afternoon. 1.-THE Fated
Hour" is supposedly a melodrama, or
a tragedy. but one soon reaches a state
Of mind where it is impossible TO take
il seriously. The audience yesterday
was rather undecided, but they soon
settled down TO enjoy the offering in
their own way.
The picture abounded in such titles
as "Blanche's jilterl Good Heavens,
Has God or the devil sent him 10 me ?"
While some Of the outdoor scenes
were rather attractive. there was a
total lack Of attention TO details and
slipshod titles which the present day
perfection will not permit.
Marie. the heroine, was played by a
young woman who evidently believed
that temper is portrayed by biting the
corner of ones handkerchief and that
all adyenturesses hold their chins in
the air at all times and smoke long
cigarettes.
The picture was introduced by say
ing: "Do you recognize the star!
Some people say she is Nazimovs.
Others believe she is Olga Petrova."
One wondered by what process Of
elimination any one had reached such
conjecture.
Up to the seventh reel the identity
of the star had not been disclosed, nor
was the name of any member of the
east given. Discretion is, indeed, the
better part of valor.

Chicago Man Pledges This
Amount if Committee
Raises $1O,0O0,000
.$1,274,839 in Hand
Gift Is To Be Forwarded for
Work Abroad in install
ments of 100000

A new impetus was given yesterday
TO the national campaign Of the Amer
lean Jewish Relief Committee TO raise
$40 10000 in 1917, when julius Rosen-
wald, Of Chicago, telegraphed the COM
mittee a conditional pledge Of $1,000,
900.
Mr.. Rosenwald said that he would
give 100000 for every 100000
raised by the committee until his total
reached 100000.
Committees are at work in every
large city collecting funds, but Felix
NJ. Warburg indicated yesterday that
reorganization might be needed 10
drive the $l0,000,000 campaign through
as fast as possible. He said there was
no doubt that the fund would be
raised. Whatever new plans will be
decided on by the central committees
here will be announced early next
week, according to Mr.. Warburg.
A total Of s1,274,S39 having already
been collected this year, the American
Jewish Relief Committee has qualified
TO receive the first 100000 instalment
Of Mr.. Rosenwald's pledge. A check
for this is probably on the way from
Chicago.
Mr.. Rosenwald in his telegram said
that thousands of Jewish men, women
and children were dying in Europe
from cold and starvation, and that this
colossal tragedy constituted an obliga-
ton upon American Jewry that must
be met to the point Of sacrifice.
"The Russian revolution" his mes
sage continued, affords our people the
channel for which they have waited
long centuries"
The Peoples Relief and the Central
Relief committees have been organized
since the war started, to collect funds
for the suffering Jews, in addition TO
the American Jewish Relief Commit
tee. All three distribute their funds
through joint clearing house. Through
this organization there passed S6,261,-
422 from August. 1914. to December
81, 1916. About S2,250000 of this has
gone TO The Jews Of Russia, an equal
amount TO Polish territory occupied by
the Germans, and S1,000,000 TO Austria
and territory occupied by the Aus
