Wilson's Loneliness

Norman HapgoOd, Tn Leslies.
 Elevation means loneliness. Even fla man be as social as Lincoln was, large soul in high place will mean solitude If President Wilson's comprehension reached no further than the impassioned that now fills the air, he might feel cozy on his high perch. But to see, as l fancy he sees, the menace to the future lurking in our brute ethics in our over simplified history of how the-war started--that means isolation. The average politician or editor (more in this country than elsewhere. since we have no liberal party and almost no liberal press) plans to safeguard the future by weakening Germany. That is enough for his brain That is his Railways Ready Relief The history of Napoleon and Prussia, of Bismarck and

REX BEACH'S NOVEL, THE BARRIER, COMES
 ID RIALTO FOR WEEK

"The Barrier" the seven-reel photo drama of Rex Beach's famous novel by the same name, comes to the Rialto thea ire for one week engagement only, com mencine Monday This picture has been heralded as one of the greatest dramas that has ever been on the screen. At the Broadway theatre, New York, it scored a tremendous hit and has since broken attendance records everywhere it has been shown.
 It will be recalled that the story is of the love of Necia, white girl who thinks she is a halfbreed. for Lieut. Meade yBurrell, bueblooded southerner. from Kentucky. The Indian blood is the barrier between them. and the strong situations which lead up to Burrells decision to marry her in spite of every thing provide tremendous dramatic ma terial
 Poleon Doret is French Canadian prospector who has been Necia's idol from childhood. He loves her deeply, but gives her up to Burrell with a smile. Of this part of the plot the Moving Picture World has said: Here we have strong contrasts in character, but above everything is 'tthe greatest of these renunciation.
 Mabel Juliene Scott plays the leading part, doing ''Merridy' in the prologue, and "Necia.' Russell Simpson as John Gaylord, who "Aint much to look at plays the simple, straightforward old man.

IMYSTICISMMASTER
 APPEARS AT LOEW'S . FIRST HALF WEEK

The long hailed corners, Prescott and his co-worker. Miss Hope Eden. mind readers and masters of the art of mysticism, will be the big headliners on the bill at the Bijou theatre the first half of the coming week. Diff fering from most acts of the mental telepathy variety. both Prescott and Miss Eden are youthful, and their stage setting is modern and clean, instead of the usual mysterious and old acts used by other acts There Is nothing weird or uncanny about them, for Prescott works in the audience in a dress suit made by one of the Fitln avenue tailors, and Miss Eden is seen in wonderful creation by Paris modiste. They work with marvellous speed, Prescott in the audience demanding of Miss Eden the instant Identification of various articles and perhaps the most mystifying of all things, calling the name and ad- dress of anyone in the audience.
 Bessie LeCount is a little miss who has a wonderful repertoire of exclu- sive songs, and a remarkably clever one about the mysteries of dressing by the male sex
 Other acts will be Walton and Keat- ing, the latter a tiny maid not more than five feet tall, in eccentric bits of comedy; Gordon and Day, panto- mimic funsters, and Maxon and Nor ris, in a manil1in novelty.
 The photoplay for the first half of the week will belan exceptional screen offering, it being Gladys Brockwell in Strange Woman" a play that is grip ing, of splendid plot and full of tense moments.
 For the last half of the week the vaudeville bill is of an unusual variety, and is replete with novelties. The head liner will be "Milady's Gowns" a very unique representation of the very latest fashion creations, and it will prove an artistic vaudeville diversion There are two men and four women in this cast, and in showing the very latest fashion hints they will offer splendid repertoire of singing comedy. Other acts will be George Armstrong. the happy tchappie, who will present a brilliant collection of amusing parodies. Tyler and Crolius will offer some nifty, nutty nonsense, with comedy singing and talking; Oliver, an accordeonist, and Gangler's CaninA Garden, with two ladies and 10 wonderfully trained dogs, augmented by special electrical settings and plenty of comedy.
 The photoplay win be May Allison
