THEATRE ATTRACTIONS
At THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

Marguerite Clark, huge delight as
little Eva and Topsy, in an extremely
perturbation Of Uncle Toms Cabin. F"
at the Colonial this evening.
There is little variance between the
story Of Uncle Toms Cabin, and the
picture, the thread Of the narrative be-
Ing almost unbroken from the opening
scene when Shelby and Haley are bag
Cling over the sale OF Uncle Tom,
beaten to earth by Simon Legree,
wings its fight. While one follows
the fortunes of Uncle Tom in the pic
ture as eagerly as one does while read
ing the story. the main interest OF the
photoplay, because of the personality
OF Marguerite Clark, is conferred about
Eva and Topsy, both of which roles
she plays with equal skill and intelli-
gence. The death of little Eva is an
exceptional bit of fine work. and the
transition from this uric creature to
the portrayal of Topsy. who never
was born, but just growed," was ac-
complished by the dainty star without
strain. The doubling of Marguerite
Clark in this picture was emphasized
in startling fashion when by the aid
of multiple exposure photography, both
Eva and Topsy appeared opposite
each other, the synchrony of action be
ing perfect. The various scenes of the
photoplay are splendidly presented,
that of the secape of Eliza before the
bloodhounds, and the rescue of Eva
from drowning in the river by Uncle
Tom; the plantation scenes and those
showing the flight of the slaves pur-
sued by hounds, being especially
praiseworthy. Marguerite Clark, in
Uncle Toms Cabin" will truly prove
a source of great enjoyment so don't
miss it. Pathe News also.

Uncle Sam is in the wholesale bust

just seen one of his commissary de-
pots and my eyes are still bullying
with the bigness of it all. Then / re-
member that this is but one of many,
and the biggest wholesale grocery or

seems runy by comparison.
This establishment of Uncle Sans
cannot be figured by so many feet of
| floor space, as is the usual store. You
have to think of it in units of acres, al
most Of miles. Just stop and con-
slider that fifty miles of railroad, in
intricate network, are required to take
care of this one depot, and you will
get some notion of its gigantic pro-

Jane and Katherine are living with
their aunt, Miss Ashton, young, beau
tiful and wealthy. who has many suit
ors. The children decide the WORTH
est is Jack Fenton. Their aunt also
prefers him until Percival Fitzpatrick
arrives. Fitzpatrick is suave and
smooth and dazzles her, but Jane and
Katherine are suspicious of him. He
is really a crook come to rob the bank.
Fitzpatrick has brought with him two
pals who investigate the situation
while their leader ingratitiates himself
with the local aristocracy. He wishes
to propose to Miss Ashton a dozen
times, but on each occasion the chill
dren foil him. Meantime, the two
burglars, weary of waiting for Gilpat-
rick to order action and kidnap Jane
and Katherine. The two little imps
make things so hot for their captors
that their liberty is offered to them,
but the children stay to torment the
crooks.
PercivaI stages a rescue" This puts
him in the light of hero, and Fenton
is thrust into the background by Miss
Ashton. The aunt holds a reception,
and Fitzpatrick fixes the clock that
he assists in looting the bank but re-
turns to the social function to estab-
lish an alibi
The scoundrel loses through the
cleverness of Jane and Katherine.
They have been watching Fitzpatrick,
and know enough of his movements on
the night of the robbery to set Fenton
on the trail that leads to Percival's
being unmasked.
Jack turns to Miss Ashton, who
smiles at him. calls Jane and Rather
inc to her side and whispers some
thing in their ears. They smile their
understanding, run to Jack and greet
him with: Hello, Uncle!"

would go home more than content. II
would go home with chest expanded
and chin up to brag about the ability
of America to meet an emergency.
For here a city, apparently perma-
nent, has sprung up. Just to operate
these warehouses and railroad yards,
thousands of men are required. Their
barracks form a good sized town.
There are mess halls and officers
quarters. There are congregating
places for the men, notably a number
of huge Y. NJ. c. A. huts. There is
the Allies Hut which serves English,
French and Americans; there is n hut
exclusively for the colored laborers;
there is an officers club, operated by
the "Y," with canteen, billiard table,
lounge and other comforts; and there
are two enormous huts for the enlist
ed men, with room to seat in eat h
upwards of seven hundred and fifty.
These are provided with piano,
monographs, canteens, libraries and
young Y. NJ G. A. women are on to
the job and know just how to talk to
the Annex boys.
The "Y" women in a permanent
camp like this is a great institution.
She gets acquainted. She sews on
buttons; she chats with the boys and
they come to her with their tales of
woe. Because she can be impersonal,
and have an interest in each and every
one of them, her influence is amaz-
ing. The mere fact of woman being
there is fine. 1t holds the boys to the
scratch. She even affects their per-
sonal appearance. Here are four
young women, shut off from the world
the only women in a camp contain
ing thousands of men. And they are
having the time of their lives. Many
more are needed for such jobs, and
America must supply them.
These places are the social center,
and give the social life to the com
missary town. 1t needs some relaxa-
ton, some place to go, for it is a re-
markably busy and hard working
place. Daily huge trains come in with
loads to be stored; other huge trains
come in to be loaded with supplies
for the front Nobody has a minute
to loaf.
Back home business, a wholesale
house, which required. let US say, five
thousand men, just to handle its ware
houses, would be some concern. Over
here, we are told, this is not even the
largest of Uncle Sans depots. II
looks to man as if the United States
meant business in this war, and was
making preparations to stay right here
until the Hun was disposed of for
good and all Anyhow that is what
the boys in khaki will tell you.
