Theatre News
nITMAS.


In this day Of stirring patriotic
plays, q production must be of para
mount excellence to vii the aileg-
glance of motion picture audiences,
but in over There" the new Select
production starring Charles Rtchman
and Anna Q. Nilsson exhibitors feel
that they ave a sure-fire winner. In
1t Charles Rtchman plays the part OF
a Stacker, who enormously believes
himself a coward, and his lead is
cleverly supplemented by Anna O..
Nilsson, who wins sympathy as his
hancee. The picture. which was made
by the Charles Richman Picture Cor
poration. is being distributed by Select
and will be the Offering at the Dftmas
today and tomorrow.
Monte Jackson. from earliest recol-
.lections, has had an unreasoning hor-
ror OF blood n violence. His
mother, shortly before his birth, had
witnessed a murder and the shock
had left its imprint on her unborn
child. Monte guards his secret care
fully, and not even his most intimate
friends gain his confidence. When
the wal breaks out he IS faced with
the duty of enlistment, n funks.
With continued inactivity on hts part,
friends begin to fall away: he is
blacklisted at hts club; his partners
ask him to resign and even his sweet
heart, Betty. loses faith and breaks
their engagement
In the end he effects his own re-
generation, proves his mettie. and
wins back his place IN the sun- There
Is a great lesson In "Over There" n
one that Mr.. Richman makes the most
Of. His picture of Monte Jackson,
misunderstood and ~unjustly Judged, is
one of the finest things he has done
and will appeal to the sympathies of
every audience.

Centres in Milan
viii Distribute Service

The Bureau of Nursing of the At
|Iantic Division of the Red Cross has
received advfces announcing the or
.|Knnfxafion of an American Red Cross
Nurses Center at Milan, Italy. for the
purpose OF providing nursing care for
American and Italian forces.
The center will serve as a place OF
mobilization for all American nurses
in Italy. Each nurse arriving from
the United States will be placed in
the field for which she is most fitted
and where she is most needed
The nurses who arrive each day ] n
Milan to take up their duties in diff
ferent parts of italy have all had DIFF
-ferent degrees and kinds of expert
ence. To some the care of the wound
ed is the most practicable field;
others are specialists in the care of
delicate babies and children; others
are best fitted for service amongst the
refugee families of soldiers.
One of the great purposes of the
Nurses Center is educational. Sur
gical nurses will be prepared for
their service at important dressing
stations or supply rooms near enough
to the scene of action to make this
work imperative. In this way the
NURSES wfff-be actually ministering to
the crying needs of the wounded at
rear line distributing stations and
permanent hospitals in the rear, at
the same time that they are prepar-
ing themselves for even more difficult
and responsible tasks.
The Center is equipped to teach all
necessary branches of h work:
preparation of dressings. demonstra-
ton of their use, hospital social serT-
ice work, district nursing and public
health work. :
A small but perfectly equipped hos
pital Is in operation in Milan to care
for the needs of those Americans
who have been serving in Italy up to
this tfme-aviators and Red Cross
representatives. But with the arrival
of American regulars at the italian
front 1t has become necessary to
greatly enlarge the nursing service
and to extend the hospital arrange
ments Plans are already under way
to meet this situation. A modern
hospital will be established in Genoa
by the American Red Cross and there
VIII be Red Cross hospitals In other
centexg.
Each of the American Red Cross
homes, d~tspensaries, health ~centers,
dressing stations and all other posts
requiring nurses services long and
ever increasing list covering Italy
from end to end and coa to coast
each of these posts is served by an
American Red Cross. This is the daily
task of the Milan center: to regulate
and maintain this supply of expert
workers.

TO OUR STRAW HAT.
(By Walter Creep


Dear old top-piece, stiff and light
You are sacred in our sight,
For in summer days gone by,
How you sat so bonnily
On our bean, uplifting now,
While our fast perspiring brow
Poured liquid streams into each
eye;
But the summer days are gone,
Frosty winters creeping on,
And dear old straw, we'll have to
say goodbye!
Alas, it seems but yesterday
When we wore you the live-long
day,
Nor ever thought the birds would
fee,
Or wind sting like a bumble-bee ;
Our b. V. DIS we now deride,
Our low-cuts we have thrown
aside,
The mournful tale is sad to tell;
But dear old straw, our last to
lose
OF summer wear the right to use,
viii have to say to you long
farewell!
A massive felt in color brown,
In fiber soft as eider-dOwn,
Now crowns the brow, once flush
ed and bold,
Now pale as Santa Claus with cold; ;
And high upon the garnet shelf,
Where rests our books and kind
red pelf,
We lay the old straw with this
song;
And now with many sobs and signs
And tear-drops swimming in our
eyes,
We breathe at last, dear old straw
hat, so long!
Now rest in peace, until the spring
With buds and flowers comes
whispering
Unless we wear upon our head
A regulation hat instead,
A gas-mask and helmet too
Dear old straw-hat Wen call for
you,
Wen brush the ribbon, clean the
straw,
Then place you jaunty on our
knot
And wander round the grassy lot,
And tell our friends, "See my
new panama"
