in the face. Smith has been conduct.
ing campaign to close the tender
loin districts.
Smith was confronted with a his

church and pleaded for a chance to
live. In an address, remarkable for
it's eloquence, Mrs. Anna Campbell,
leader Of the women. presented the

men is $500 or 500 a week. Most of
these girls are the daughters OF poor
families, and many Of them have
mothers and sisters depending upon
them. There is no more badness in
them than in other women. she said.
They have been forced to their posi-

WI. 5. HART

Virtually the entire second part OF
The Captive God" the Triangle-lnce
play in which William S. Hart Is
starred. is devoted to fighting, OF a
sort totally new to the screen drama
1t is nghting between the Tehuan and
Aztec armies, the story having to do
with a romance of the sixteenth cen
fury in America. Therefore, the war
fare is novel, for the. weapons, instead
of being guns and swords, are rocks
and spears. And to provide sumcient
ammunition" fifteen men we're kept
busy for several weeks moldinE the
rocks" and cutting the spears. Ap'
proximately 10000 OF each were man
ufactured, and an idea Of the labor
involved may be gained from the fact
that each rock had to be painted and
each spear decorated with feathers.
Most Of the fighting in the story takes
place in the open, although there are
several severe hand-to.hand encoun'
tiers in the interiors.
In the titular role, Hart is declared
to have rendered another fascinating
performance that will establish him
still more firmly in the popular favor.
He appears. it is true, sans Chaps
and sombrero and six-shooters, but
his magnetism is as powerful As ever.
"The Captive God" will be shown
at the Orpheum theatre tonight.
