 Mrs. Livingstone is an American. married to British officer and has been member and secretary of tho Government Committee on the Treatment by the enemy of the Brit ish prisoners since 1t was formed two years ago.
 In the early days of tho war Mrs. Livingstone used to do all the in terviewing of the sick and wounded prisoners who were returned per iodically and although this work Is now done largely by a large staff of volunteers, she still makes it point of personally interviewing all escaped prisoners of war

 People did seem surprised to find woman among the British representatives. I am sure I don't know why, because there is really nothing that women are not doing in England today. is there? I had no means of telling what the German representatives thought, because, of course. we didn't talk to each oth- er-not socially. mean. Indeed. it would be quite impossible to give you an adequate idea of the extreme formality of the proceedings. "I was there merely to assist Sir Robert Younger, our chairman. with 1 information which as secretary of the committee naturally have at command. It was real hard work all the time. and both parties were concerned solely with the welfare of the prisoners. Questions con corning them were the only ones discussed, and l think the agree ments concluded will be found to be very satisfactory"

 gripping drama with rapid action from the very opening scenes-laid in a Barbary Coast resort with over two hundred dance hall habitues as a back

GOOD OLD FASHIONED
 PLAY AT THE PALACE.


 There is a pretty little play at the Palace entitled "The Ninety and Nine" taken from the good old gospel hymn many of us perhaps have at some time in our life been familiar with. It is all about a city chap getting in q mix-up. losing the girl. going to q country town and taking to drink to drown his sor- row and being rescued by one of those good persons. a young lady. who really shows spark of Christianity in her makeup, regardless of the busy gos- sips. Lucille Lee Stewart plays the part of the good young lady and Will jam Courtenay is the city chap There are many good things about this play that takes one back to the farm and the country surroundings. It is a Vit- agraphm production but once the Vita graph has ia lien down in a big adver- tised thrill. The forest fire scene is not up to the standard. There are little thrills about it but the genuine thrill is missing. It's faking is too ap- parent and too flimsy. That is the only drawback to this production.
