The infinite variety of Mae Marsh has often been commented upon. The appealing Goldwyn star delights in greeting her admirers as a different
 girl in her successive photoplays. Inis is simply. borne out in her newest Go1dwyn production, "Au Woman,

 young lawyer and politician of the
 town, to abandon it and be content
 with the meagre profits. This Susan
 will not do. There are many children
 in the neighborhood, ignorant and
 neglected. and the girl determines to
 stay and mother them and rehabili-
 tate the place.

Blinded Soldiers Relief Work

Following is the foreword of a
publication on this work:
One of the greatest, as it is one of
the most pitiful tragedies of the
world-war is the large number of
soldiers and sailors who have been
blinded. In many instances not only
is the sight of these men completely
lost, but they suffer also the amputa-
tion of both hands or both arms, or
an arm and leg, and in many cases
are rendered deaf as we'll.
In France alone there are to-day
nearly two hundred blinded men
with these additional mutilations.
There are in England, France and
Belgium over three thousand totally
blinded men, and nearly twenty-five
thousand men blinded in one eye,
many of whom will eventually lose
the sight of the other eye. How many
more will there be?
Thousands of blinded men cannot
be taken care of, and their wants re-
lieved, in the same manner as an
army of soldiers, or thousands of or
phans or thousands of mutilated men.
1t is impossible to solve the problem
thru the ordinary channels of relief
or by ordinary means Each case
must be handled separately, with
personal devotion, in order to uplift,
encourage and rehabilitate these
brave martyrs who have given their
best for their countries sake. This
must be done primarily by voluntary
helpers with funds furnished by pri-
vate subscription.
The founders of this American
British French Belgian Permanent
Blind Relief War Fund and their vol
untary staff are devoting their own
money, time and lives solely and ex-
clusively to those blinded in this
war, and they will continue to do
so until the end. Needless to say
that any American soldiers blinded
will benefit to the fullest extent and
be re-educated to fit them for any
walk in life to which they are adapt
able by inclination, knowledge or
previous occupation; for the purpose
OF the Fund is not to dole with a
word of undesired pity an obolus to
meet the need Of the passing hour.
but to lead the stricken victim up
from hopeless despair to renewed
hope, and send him forth into his
new world of darkness firm of tread
and resolution, equipped to do
mans work and provided with tools
and materials to enable him to hold
his own again.
Does this constructive work appeal
to you?
