While the photopiay is essentially
comedy, it has an Interesting
love story, and all the thrills that
attend the development of an APP
pealing story. The picture was
written and directed by Victor L.
Schertzinger, and the supporting
players, chief among whom are
Jane Novak, Otto Hoffman, Dorcas
Matthews, Gertrude Claire and
Catherine Young, rank among the
best of the Thomas H Ince players.
The photography of "A Nine
O'clock Town" is one OF its great
est charms, this being the work of
Chester Lyons, one OF the most ca
pable photographers in the country.
From every other standpoint also
the photoplay is one of exceptional
merit and can be seen over and
over again with profit and salts

CONNECTS CARACAS WITH SEA
American Built Railway Which
Gives Venezuelan Capital Its
Only Outlet to the Ocean.

For more than 300 years Caracas,
capital city Of Venezuela, was Access
sible from La Guaira, its port town,
only by an old Spanish trail, which in
the very early days of the country
the Indians had traced across the
mountains that range along the north
ern coast. 1t was not until 1883, after
several attempts had been made to
build a railroad, that Caracas finally
was connected by rail with the hot
little town that gives the republics
chief city it's outlet to the sea.
In that year an enterprising Ameri-
can, who several years before had
come to Venezuela as minister or
consul from the United States. COM
pleted the work on the La Guaira and
Caracas railway and Immediately
opened the line to traffic, which but
for an infrequent landslide or revolu-
ton has continued uninterrupted ever
since The line today is one of the
finest narrow-gauge mountain railways
in the world.

Wars That Made History.

The Civil war in America was fol-
lowed-in 1866-by the Prusso-Aus-
trian campaign in Bohemia, which may
be said to have lasted only seven
weeks, since Austria was completely
brought to terms by her first crushing
defeat at Koniggratz. The logical Sc
quel to the Prussian war of 1866 with
Austria was the German one of 1870
with France, though, indeed, it may
be said to have been practically de-
cided in less than one month-at Sc
dan-the rest of the time being but a
long-drawn-out agony of fighting des-
pair on the part of the vanquished.
