AMUSEM ENTS.

Capacity audiences witnessed the
latest Griffith picture, THE Great
Love- at the Strand Thursday night
In many respects the picture is very
interesting, altho it can not be termed
as wonderful a production. as that Of
the first Griffith spectacle, The Birth Of
Nation" The pretensions for the
latest offerings are not so great, and
the picture is only about half the
length of the bigger production.
The principal interest in THE Great
Love" lies in the fact that It is Brit
ish war picture, filmed by the consent
of the government, to teach the lesson
that the great love is one of service.
and that it places love OF country
above all else. This theme is under
lying in the climaxes Of the different
scenes. Some very realistic scenes in
the trenches are pictured, together
with supposed German machine gun
nests. Zeppelin raids over London are
pictured, together with the havoc
wrought.
The story of the play deals with
Jim Young, an Anrican who eniists
in a Canadian regiment and goes to
England Here he meets an innocent
| little Australian miss, Susie Broad
plains, and falls in love with her. Sir
Roger Brighton also seeks the hand
Of the girl, and especially after she
! falls heir to a small fortune. Young is
called to France and Brighton claims
Susie in marriage. Brighton becomes
involved with German spies and pro-
pagandists, with the result that he
aids in attempting TO signal Zeppelins
the location Of the British arsenal. Jim
illustrates his plan. and helps hunt
down Brighton, who ends his life.
Susie enters Red Cross work, and in
the end is shown to have found the
great love"
Worked into the picture as a very
! interesting feature are several OF
| Englands we'll known society women,
| and women Of rank, who are shown at
work in munition factories and in hos
pitfalls. Included among them is former
| Queen Alexandra, mother Of King
| George V.
Understanding some Of the leading
| roles are characters we'll known in
Griffith productions, four OF whom
appeared in THE Birth Of Nation.
Lillian Gish, as Susie, was Elsie
| Stoneman in THE Birth Of Nation.
Henry Walthall as Sir Roger played
| Col. Ben Cameron IN the first produc-
| ton: Robert Harron, as jim, was

FIT TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON
Shaft at National Capital ls One OF
the Most Remarkable Ever
Built by Man.

The foundation of the great shaft Of
the Washington monument is 80 feet
square and is set in solid rock eight
feet below the surface Of the earth.
The interior Is only 20 feet In diameter,
while the exterior diameter Is 90 feet.
This shows the tremendous thickness
of the walls, which are made Of per-
fectly fitted stones. No wonder that
this obelisk has been called "the best
piece of masonry In the world"
Many nations, as well as many cities
and states, wished to contribute to this
great cenotaph, and as the visitor en-
tiers the monument and takes his place
in the big elevator, he may see, as he
slowly mounts, various interesting
stones from all parts Of the world. He
may catch a glimpse of n stone from
"Braddock's field" one from the "bat-
tleneld OF Long Island" one from the
Alexandrian library In Egypt, one
from the tomb of Napoleon at st. Hell
ena, mosaic block from the ruins Of
Carthage, lava from Vesuvlus and
stones from Jerusalem and Mecca, be-
sides blocks contributed by 40 states,
10 cities and towns and A societies.
Ten foreign countries sent blocks of
stone, suitably inscribed. to testify to
their regard.-Mary V. Worstell In st.

EXPLAINING GODS OF EGYPT
Prof. Flinders PetrIe Has Thrown
Much Light on Sources Of Myth
olouy Of Ancient Land.

The question Of the character and
origin Of the local gods Of Egypt Is
still obscure; but paper by Prof.
Flinders Petrie. published In "Anclent
Egypt" part 3, 1917, does much to
clear 1t up. Professor Petrie collected
the original records OF these cults. and
by marking the headquarters of each
deity he arrived at important results.
RIA appears In only one southern city,
and his cult seems to have come from
the northeast. The distribution Of
Nut. the mother-goddess, is decidedly
eastern, while that OF Amen is west
ern. Set was certainly brought into
Egypt by the desert road. as he had
there two centers Of the first class. and
he was introduced by the Red sea way
to the eastern delta.
The distribution Of the Oslrlde triad
indicates a settlement 80 early In the
land that the worship was generally
diffused. Professor Petrle sums up
his article thus: 1.-THE geography Of
the worship Of the gods is thus seen
to have a considerable value hlstOrl-
cally, as bearing on their origin and
connections. When more complete re-
search into the localities OF various
uncertain names may extend our lden-
tiilcations, II will be possible to get
more light on the sources Of Egyptian

CANNOT MATCH THE BIBLE"
Stories in Sacred Volume Have. Never
Been Equaled, a Yale Pro-
fessor Says.

The bulk of the people-businesa
men, lawyers, doctors and others don't
read the Bible, but writer's universally
recognize 1t as the greatest book, Prof.
William Lyon Phelps of Yale unlver-
slty said In recent address.
Being serious book It Is weak In
humor," Professor Phelps said. "But
think Job intended a grim Joke when
he said: Would that mine adversary
had written a book
mo narrative writer's can match the
style of the Bibles Old, Testament
stories-Hume, Gibbon, Rose-they are
all inferior. This is the day of the
short-story writer, Kipling De Maupas-
SAINT, o. Henry, but their best efforts
fall short Of the stories Of the Bible.
So 1t is with Its poetry In the Psalms.
It's wisdom of the Proverbs is just as
up-to-date as the morning paper, and
there is no political economy equal to
the Book Of Gospels.
ut is impossible to overestimate the
Bibles influence on English literature.
Bunyan wrote great book because
he was saturated with the Bible, and
1t trickled out when he wrote.
"Lincoln knew only two books--the
Bible and Shakespeare, and yet he was
a splendldly educated man. To know
the Bible is to be educated. One Of
the finest metaphors In Keats ode to
Nightingale is taken directly from
the Bible; Nearer, My God, to Thee
Is simply a paraphrase Of the Bible"
