WAR BRINGS HORSES BACK
 TO NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Oct. 22 There i no need to "watcE your step" on Broad way thos" EasIrss Sunday nights Without the steady flow of motor vehicles that formerly kept the traffic squad as busy on the day of rest as any other, the asphalt seems all but deserted.
 |" 'ansom. sir?"
 The once-familiar salutation, all but forgotten during q generation of auto mobile supremacy, smites the ear. The Cabby has come into his own again. Horses that had been denoted to com mon equine labor have been recalled to their former places between the curved shafts Vehicles of the eighties and nincties- twO-whceled and four wheeled have been rcsurreCted from the dust and Cobwcbs of livery stables which. once d week, have taken on some of their ancient activity.
 IIansoms, Coupes, barouches. and even q few vtCtorias, shabby genteel in faded and time-worn upholstery. rattle over the pavcments and line the Curbs, to the delight of the old knick- crbOckerS and to the amusement of the younger throngs who have never known the metropolis except in its present regime of hOrseless locomo- tiOn
 Between thirty-third and fifty.ninth streets tonight traffic pOlicement stood listlessly at their posts. Whistles that usually signal Co" and Stop" were stilled Cabbics cut corners. and no impcrious hand bade them halt. Ped. cstrians lodged diaEonally across the street, and the bluccoats did not in, trrfcrc Traffic, without the automo, bile. was not traffic in their eyes
 An antiquated open barouChe rumb. led past light.foOded Times Square, its passengers q pair of majors whose rotund. khakiclad figures bulged over the ends of its tiny seat In closed and maid Millionaires were abroad too, some of them enjoying the nov, city induced by the locking of garage doors upon luxurious limousines.
 From the outset the metropolis has complied in every particular with the government request to conserve gas oline, and though many lines of ac. tivity have been curtailed, predictions fulfilled. New York has been slowed up, but hardly sobered by the gasless Sundays.

the new World Picture Brady-Made
which will be shown soon
at the Spencer Square theatre
There are four stars in this attraction
Carlyle Blackwell. June Elvidge,
Greeley and Arthur Ashley-and a
host Of fa-orite film players assist
these stars in the rendition of this
big production. In fact the cast in
THE Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds is one
OF the biggest assembled for motion
picture in long time. Needless to
say the story is historically accurate
and is staged with careful regard for
all the historical details necessary for
its proper telling. The story of the
feud is SO dramatic in itself that it
forms perfect movie story. This fact
combined with the intense historical
interest in the subject makes 1.-THE
Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds" one of the
most thoroughly interesting and enter
tanning pictures ever flashed on a
screen. 1t is not only an education
to see this picture, but it is splendid
entertainment. Carlyle Blackwell ap-
pears in the role of Alexander Hamil-
ton; Arthur Ashley is seen as Aaron
Burr; Evelyn Greeley appears as Miss
Moncrieffe. while June Elvidge is seen
in the role of Maria Reynolds.

At the Columbia.


There is to be a diversified bill full
of novelty and fun at the Columbia
for four days starting Sunday mat
inee, featuring Diana's Models, with
company of five beautiful girls, in
Producing some of the famous paint
ings. Cooper and Robinson are duo
of Ethiopeans who are perennial laugh
makers. Those of you have seen and
enjoyed their cleverness will be glad
to renew their acquaintance and those
who have never had the pleasure have
positive treat in store. 1t is now
more than Is years since Cooper and
Robinson made their first appearance
in vaudeville and though they have
had excellent vehicles in the past,
they have never had one of the calibre
of the present offering which bears
the label, "A Friend of Mine on the
Wrong Street." Eldridge, Barlow and
Eldridge, who present "A Rural De-
livery" have always adhered to the
rube characters since their advent in
vaudeville. Their new skit is comedy
from start to finish. Kranz and La
Sale, two young men, present sing
ing and talking act, which they call
Songs and Foolishness." AS the title
infers, we necessarily look for cross
fire conversation bordering on the nut
variety. Both youngsters are clever,
having good line Of patter that en-
ables them to show their comedy eff
forts to the best advantage. The I'M
perial Jul Jitsu troupe introducing the
art of self defense should be very in
teresting.

Doris Kenyon. who is to appear at the
Fifth Avenue theatre tomorrow as the
star Of "The Great White Trail" the
new super-feature by The Whartons,
who produced "Patria," and other sue
cesses. And the reason for it all was
that Miss Kenyon lives the life of the
outdoors. the weather didn'te.worry her
a bit. Practically all the settings of
THE Great White Trail" are in this
sort of scenery, with everything from
icecaves, containing stalagmites of ice
from five to ten feet thick, to glaciers
in predominance. The story is one of
the gold rush days in the Klondike,
and deals with a misunderstanding
between husband and wife. which robs
them of happiness until the tug of

At The Majestic.

But one word of advice is necessary
to those who did not get chance to
see Clara kimball Young at the Majes-
tic theatre yesterday and that advice
is, go today. Miss Young in a long
period af activity on the screen has
done really fine acting but nothing has
ever been any better than her work in
"Marionettes" in which closes at the
Majestic today. 1t is one play in a
hundred and well worth seeing. Sun

female impersonator the world OF
amusement has ever known to the Ma
jestic, namely Julian Eltinge in his
third and newest photoplay success,
THE Widows Might" Mr.. Eltinge is
a performer whose work is always OF
particular interest to the women OF
any audience inasmuch as his gowns
are marvels of beauty. His acting is
clever and he has a certain comic
style which earns him many a laugh.
The supporting company is large and
capable and good ampsement is as
sured anyone who sees this luminary
at the Majestic. Wednesday and
Thursday will see an old favorite
back at the Majestic. 1t will be none
other than Miss Edith Storey. erst-
while Vitagraph star, who now ap-
pears in The Eyes of Mystery" a
thrilling tale of adventure and ro-
nance which is guaranteed to be one
of the most exciting things which the
