To see Herbert Brenon's screen version of Rupert Hughes best seller is to SC what only years of news paper work can show. one of the mighty dramas of life in the worlds gl eatest human hive.
 No writer, even the late OHenry, had a more thorough understanding of metropolitan life than Mr. Hughes no director has eve: depicted that life as has IMr. Brennon in Empty Pockets"
 There are directors and directors most follow the beaten paths of adap- tation. A few-Brenon for instance have that rare creative genius which enables them to use actors aud accessories as, an artist uses his paints and canvas. With lis cam era for a brush he paints big sweep ing pictures pictures full of power feeling and pictures which make one love- hate and cry over 'he things they portray.
 Empty Pockets" is not a vehicle in which somn star nreens himself - or herself. While watching it one does not think of the players. for they do not seem to be actors. Ere non doesn't bother much about an actors pedisree: Types, Types are what l insist on,' he says-and Empty Pockets" proves him right. "MakeWp," says Brenon. wont make an aristocrat of plabian nor a gun man of wealilinG. The only thing insisted on when casting Empty Pockets was that my players be liv- inc types of Hughes characters.

But II should be remembered that tho
French commanders are showing dis
position to regard the action on this
part OF the front as practically over.
Now that he Is in his old positions
the enemy Is in shape to fight de-
fensive battle, and to Gust him would
cost US unnecessarily In men. The
French, therefore, are devoting them
selves to bringing up guns and to re.
pairing and rebuilding the roads back
of their present lines. At the same time
they are giving their infantry a rest.
The Germans had the advantage In the
respect that as they retreated they went
back to their guns. which were already
In position.
As q result OF their successes In this
region. which were achieved in the face
of machine gun nests scattered every
where through the woods. and in spite
of the fact that they were compelled
to wear gas masks for days at time,
the French can look forward to the next
battle with renewed confidence In their
