At the Theatres

A phase of life which is little real
lied and which has seldom, if ever,
comprised the basis of a dramatic
production, is shown in Henry B. Wal
thalls second Paralta play, Hum
drum Brown" which will be shown
at the Classic tonight 1t is the dis
couraging feeling which brands the
life of an ambitious, aspiring man
who finds that there is nothing with
in the world in which he is living to
feed the hunger Of his ambition. Mr..
Walthall in the part of "Humdrum,"
IS but an ordinary plOdding man
whose opportunities are confined by
domestic obligations, to the narrow
limits of an unprogressive, unproduc-
tive small town." The story in a
stirring, interesting manner, pictur-
ICES the struggle for freedom and
success of man bound to a mediocre
existence by chains of misfOrtune's
making, which he is powerless to cast
off. Mr.. Walthall's work in this Par
alta play is superb and he is ably sup
ported in the principal feminine role
by Miss Mary Charleson. Miss Char
Lesson will be happily recalled by the
public for her pleasing impersonation
in Mr.. Walthalps robe of Honor"
which was shown at the Classic some
time ago.
julie Verne's 100000 Leagues I'm
der the Sea" will be the screen at
traction at the Classic Thursday and
Friday. It is thrilling, amazing,
sensational spectacle, produced under
the sea, on the sea, in the air, on the
land. There are a million and one
strange sights to see Nowhere else in
the wide, wide world can a submarine
be seen, sleeping peacefully on the
bottom of the ocean, diving suddenly
into unfathomed depths, speeding
beneath the waves and sinking a ship.
1t is accredited the most daring, SEN
satiOnal achievement of the cinema
drama of all times. Two thousand
people are in the enormous produc-
ton costing over half million and
requiring over two and a half years
in making.
Dorothy Dalton will be introduced
to patrons Of Paramount at the Ma
jestic on Thursday and Friday when
Thomas H. Ince presents THE Price
Mark" an appealing photodrama in
five parts. The early scenes are laid
in Cairo, Egypt, where full advantage
OF the exceptional opportunities for
picturesque photography has been
taken by Mr.. Ince. From the land of
the Nile the story shifts to New York
City, to the always interesting life of
the artists studio. 1t is as a model for
a celebrated painter that Miss Dalton
is introduced in The Price Mark"
The settings erected for "The
Legion of DEATH" at the Majestic to-
night, are spacious and elaborate. One
represents the salon and library of a
Russian Grand Duke. The furniture
and draperies show the severity of the
Russian art. For the realistic battle
scenes trenches were dug in the San
Fernando valley, California. In this
section the photography resembles
the country lover there" It was es-
timafed that twenty-eight thousand
cubic yards of earth were removed in
digging these trenches.

Across the Seas They Call
= CROSS the seas from every war-torn
4 nation in the Allied cause there comes
90 the call for Red Cross help
It comes from soldiers who have grmly
faced the cleaning bayonet steel and poison
gas and screaming shells, and who lie with
parching threats and throbbing wounds
It comes from soldiers sick with fever, pneu-
mOnia, tuberculosis
It comes from soldiers crippled, mutilated,
blinded, who can no longer fight and must
be taught and trained for useful occupations.
It comes from little children, orphaned, home
less, slowly starving day by day, by tens
and tens of thousands.
It comes from mothers in the pillaged zones
OF war whose hearts and souls have been
made numb with horror
From all these millions of suffering human
beings there comes across the seas the call
for help---help that because of the frightful
burdens placed upon our Allies cannot be
green unless 1t be pr0v1ded by The american Red
Cross.
Another hundred million is needed to "carry
on"
What will Watertown's answer be?
Two hundred and wenty-eght Waterown in
countrys uniform
Every Of proud these and deeply
their safety and welfare
Because Of the wonderful work the Cross is doing for
these boys OF we'll for the other American Sailors
and Soders everyone of should contribute and contribute
literally toward the Red Cross Fund.
