Just before Fannie Ward went out
her thanking US for favorable men
ton made Of her in review Of "Inno-
cent" We Immediately wrote back and
thanked Miss Ward for thanking US,
for we hardly expect star of such
magnitude to notice little things like
favorable mention. We supposed that
they just took them for granted.
At any rate, Miss Ward answered
our letter, and that is how we came
to see her before she left for the
Coast. Always we have been wishing
to see Miss Ward at close range and
to discover how she does it. She is a
wonderful woman in many ways. For
| instance, Ponce de Leon went hunting
for the fountain of youth at least four
centuries ago, and here little Miss
Ward has beat him to it.
Of course, every one knows that Miss
Ward has been appearing before the
public for more than score of years,
and yet she hardly appears to be a
score Of years away from the cradle.
| Why, on the screen, with her hair in
curls, we have seen her when she did
E, not look sixteen, and the illusion is
perfect. She has tiny feet and ankles
and hands and the figure of child.
| When she appeared at the Strand The
atre recently in a Puritan picture
where she was suspected of being q
witch, that second best movie critic
said: Fannie Ward should have been
burned as witch. She is a witch
there is no other explanation"
This merely explains the state of
mind we were in when we visited Miss
Ward.
We found her as original as we had
hoped and as radiant as she appears tc
be through the celluloid medium. Shs
had just finished filming "The Yellow
Ticket" which is being presented at the
Rialto this week, and, by the way, how
delighted Miss Ward Is going to be
when she learns that the picture will
appear at that theatre!

Tank Tournament
To Raise Funds
For Camp Colt

Herbert Howe, who was, until re-
Gently, the most popular p. a. in town,
is now handling the publicity for the
Tournament Of Tanks.
Mr.. Howe writes from Camp Colt,
Gettysburg: "Our battalion is staging,
on Decoration Day, a tournament to
raise money for a battalion fund out
Of which we will buy such Injuries as
bombs, bananas, bricks and beverages.
/ expect to make trip to Baltimore
soon to appeal for silver eagles with
which to feather the nest Will you
assist the boys by giving little space
on the Sunday page of your sublime
paper? If you can land this you will
be elected a godmother of the COM
pany, which now claims Louise Glaum
and Betty Blythe as long distance
hostesses- and Edward Earle and Fran
els x. Bushman as hosts" Follows the
story:
With yowls, snarls and feline dit
ties, host Of bobtailed cats COM
menced a gigantic offensive this week
upon Camp Colt, Gettysburg. Penn,
where the U. S. Tank Corps is in train
ing. The offensive was instigated by
an offer from the corps of big money
prize for the bobtailed cat with the
best vocal and battling power to serve
as official mascot at the big field
tournament of the tanks to be held on
Decoration Day at Nixon Field cf
Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg.
The corps placed an advertisement
IN number of newspapers reading:
"Wanted-A black battling bobtailed
cat capable of yowling Treat EN-
rough and defying bricks and bombs;
a big money prize will be awarded the
person presenting the best feline speci-
men before May 80"
The younger generation Of the staid
city of Gettysburg became so Jealous
in this patriotic cause that they secured
the country for cats of the proper
specifications. Unable to FIND a suffi-
Gent supply of the bobtailed variety,
the "real sports" were accused of COM
uniting atrocities in the way of ampu-
tating tails, and an investigation was
started by the Humane Society of one
of the adjoining towns.
A shining coal-colored animal with
PHOSPHORUS eyes and a voice that will
carry the tank yell, Treat 'era rough, /"
to the ears Of the Hun in Berlin. was
secured. It will be the master of cere-
monies at the field meet, ready to greet
each entry with its yell.
For the past month the Yanks who
man the tanks have been planning the
big event for Decoration Day.

grown people so. And then, by and by,
it became worse. That was when
the new superintendent came. It was
about the time that Joan first heard
people talking about the war. Only in
those days she didn't even know what a
war was. i. -. She asked the farmer
who brought them skim milk for the
children. He told her war was hell
Which shocked and Mortified her very
much. But another much nicer man,
with raggedy shoes and red nose, told
her all about it one day at the back
door.
"And from this man she CLEANED that
the Germans were bad men who were
killing women and children in France
and Belgium and that war meant that
everybody was fighting them to make
them stop. That night she
couldn't sleep for thinking of the poor
women and children that the Germans
were killing in Belgium and France.
"And so Joan came to dream of these
women and children and wonder how
she might help to free them, and un-
consciously little Joan was feeling as
Joan of Arc must have felt, only little
Joan never had heard of her famous
predecessor. And then the soldiers
came to Plattsburg.
"And from then on it was like d
never-ending misunderstanding, won
derful. Marching men, drilling men,
men exercising, men waving little flags,
men on horseback, men drilling with
huge cannon. And always the flag fly
ing above them. . Perhaps here
at last were men who were going over
there to stop the Germans from killing
the poor women, the little children!
Before she thought, eagerly she
asked the superintendent. Little pig
like eyes flashed from his rat face.
Muttering some strange-sounding words,
he struck her cruelty, in the face.
"But later, meeting a group Of SOL
diers, she asked them. They told her
that she could bet her sweet life they
werel In her happiness. she quite for
got the pain Of the blow.
"And then Joan met Major Lane. He
was seated in front Of his tent reading
wonderful book with colored pict-
ures and, because Joan had returned
his pin which she had found, he gave
her the book for her own. 1t was
Jeanne dare and Joan stole away to
her retreat in the cellar and read long
and eagerly.
"That night, more poignantly than
ever, did Joan long in her heart to
do something for her country--her
country that was getting its soldiers
ready to save the women and children
of Belgium, and of the France Of the
very Joan herself. If she, too, could
but hear voices!
"Suddenly, from above her head as
she knelt there, in her haven in the
cellar, she heard strange sound
And then-what was that? She started
A cracking crash resounded from
above her. And then-voices
"Dazed she was at first. Awed

all mean? She tried to collect hel

Voices! She. too, like that othe,
Joan, was hearing voices.

shown on the screen at the Lyric The
atre, where the official United States
war films "Pcrshing's Crusaders" the
first instalment of series called Fol
lowing the Flag to France" is being

best they are not a handsome group,
these Huns who fell into the hands Of
Pershing's men after a brief call by
the buddies in Boche trench. There
are twenty-one of them, including two
officers, who reluctantly gave the cam
era man a glimpse of their Prussian
profiles after polite request that the
American people would like to see
something besides their highly indig
nant backs. One of them is trying to
look as much like the Grown Prince as
possible. The other prisoners are n,
sad assortment, old and young, fat and
thin, but they all have "hatc" written
plainly in their faces. This scene is
only one of the many in "Pershing's

ure films at the Lyric Theatre, that
have come straight from the American
time in this country the public will
have a chance to see what our boys
have done to get ready and what they

A debate between George Middleton,
the dramatist and scenario writer, and
Fred B. Warren, vice-president of the
Goldwyn Pictures Corporation, arose
over the relations of dramatists and
motion picture producers at the an
nual luncheon of the National Board
of Review of Motion Pictures. Mr..
Middleton in the course of his discus
sion of the subject of dramatists in
scenario writing said that the pro-
ducers did not show emphatically their
desire to have the assistance of the
dramatists in the writing of stories
for production on the screen. Mr..
Warren responded that one of the rea-
sons that dramatists and motion pict-
ure producers did not get on very
well was that the dramatists belittled
the motion picture and thought of it
only as an opportunity to make use
of material that was not of the best,
their byproduct, in other words. Mr..
Middleton retorted that he agreed with
Mr.. Warren that dramatists did not
offer the best material and were not
as alphabetically inclined to the mo-
ton picture as they might be, but said
the reason was to be laid at the door
of the producers. If xne producer and
director would cooperate with the
writer in the same manner that takes
place on the stage in building up the
production of a play the writer's would
take a deeper interest in their work
for the screen.
