PeIfs-Astolen ORDERS,

A genuine masterwork Of the films
Is Stolen ORDERS" which opened
what promises to be q prosperous
week at Polls last night. 1t is pro-
tected from the studios and under the
chaperonage Of William A. Brady,
who Is almost as well known in the
screen world as In the theatrical-if.
indeed. not more so. Stolen Orders"
doubtless Is the most pretentious pro-
duction Of the celluloid ever put out
under his Trademark
It Is a war play, possessing force
and thrills, and yet with not its real
emphasis placed upon the mere me-
chanics of trench flghting-the shot
and shell, gas attacks and raids,
which generally serve the conventional
film as the complete embodiment Of
what modern war really Is.
The drama Is all the more effective
because, although the action turns
upon the world war, the sterling cpl
sodes chronicled by the camera took
plaes in American waters, on Ameh-
can shores and revolve around the
proud fighting ships of our navy. As
already indicated. that Is q significant
change from the stereotyped battle
picture. which relies more or less upon
q prodigious expenditure of shot, she'll,
and power, or as Its power of attrac-
ton.
There are many brilliant examples
Of the new photography in the film,
including views Of the North Atlantic
feet In sailing formation, the dance
aboard the flagship, the flight OF the
huge balloon pursued by a hydroplane,
and the fight In the air in midocean.

IL we are not being amused and oft

London. July 7.-women can and
do keep secrets as well as men. This
statement was made recently by the
Bankers Magazine relative to the
employment of women as bank clerks.
British bankers were skeptical when
the employment of women was first
considered, believing customers would
withdraw for fear that their financial

gossip.
The magazine adds that after three
years Of experience with women clerks
all ground for fear of such "ca-
