Elsie Ferguson, at Colonial Monday.

''The Rise of Jennie Cushing" the Art
craft production shown at the Colonial
Theater, Monday is big, human subject.
Elsie Ferguson, the noted stage star and
beauty, who recently capitulated to
motion pictures, plays the title role. The
struggles of this girl, born in the slums,
of unknown parentage, present an ar
raignment of modern society. In the
book by Mary S. Watts, Jennie Gushing
commanded admiration, appealing to the
sympathies not by her helplessness but
through her grit and determination to
rise from her lowly surroundings. AS
played by Miss Ferguson, the role re-
ceives added virility, and theo play will
long be remembered by those who see 1t.

Masterpiece, "The Judgnen. House. al
Colonial, Friday.

Masterpiece, "The Judgment House." at
Colonial, Friday.
Ok drawn Red Cross ambulances, nurses
recruited hastily from all ranks of soci-
ETY., from the stage to the highest society
of London and back, and peers doing
menial service in the army, are some of
the unusual sights to be seen in ''The
Judgment House" by Sir Gilbert Parker
and prepared for the screen by j. Stuart
Blackton, released by Paramount.
These scenes show the terrible handi-
cap of the British in the Boer War which
they were obliged to enter, unprepared
and untaught. Many parallels can be
drawn between that case and our own
situation in the present war The battle
scenes and hospital scenes have been re-
produced with minutest care for every
detail. The Colonial Theatre has an
nounced the appearance of "The Judg-
ment House" on Friday, matinee and
evening.
Violet Heming, who is the star of ''The
Judgment House, "is one of the most beau
tiful actresses of the screen. One often
reads about "violet eyes," but in Miss
Heming's case there can be absolutely
no doubt that said orbs are a deep laven-
der shading into purple. Conway Tearle,
who appears in ''The Judgment House, ]"
also, is the well known screen and stage
star, who will be seen on the stage this
winter in New York with Ethel Barry

today. This story. filmed from
Maeterlinck's great spectacle of the
same title, presents some of the

Wallace Reid is tomorrow's fea-
tured player at the Lasalle in his

The production is artistic and enter
tanning from every standpoint. II

against a background of wild noun
tain scenery. A part Of the action
takes place in a terrific blizzard
which forms the setting for a pic
turesque wedding. This is an excel

Of the mountains in both atmos-
phere and plot. Wallace Reid has
never appeared 10 better advantage

c. r; Gibbs, Jr., who is with The
14O:h Infantry in England, writes in
q recent letter to his mother, Mrs
c. r. Gibbs, that the English people
feel sure as to the outcome of the
war. He arrived overseas several
weeks ago, and the letter, of which
the following are portions was writ
ten soon after his arrivel
Here I am safely in England Just
two weeks ago today we sailed from
America and l am certainly proud to
be on land again. This is a beautt-
full country. After getting off the
boat we marched to the railroad sta
ton about half a mile through the
city where we took the train for a
ten hour ride.
"The railroads look funny 20 us.
The coaches all have the doors on the
side and are divided into compart-
ments just large enough for a squad
The engines and cars are very small
in comparison to ours. The roads
are all wonderful, though; all double
tracked and as clean as a pin.
"The country seen from the train
is beautiful SO much of the land is
fenced with stone fences and every
bit of land is utilized for something.
The grass and trees are all green and
look mighty pretty
after riding all day on the train
we unloaded about six p. m and
marched two and a half miles to this
camp. This is just q rest camp, and
we stay here only two or three days.
We are living in tents here and cat
ing English rations, which are not
quite IS good as our own. Our regl-
men. is all scattered and we don't
know where they are. We are the
only company out of our regiment in
this camp. Guess We will all get to-
gether again when we move from
here
"The English people seem so glad
to see us and are very confident Of
the outcome of the war. They also
think it will be only q short time as
there are so many troops going over
now.
"Lwas sure tired out when we got
here. Our packs were full and must
have weighed hundred pounds
Then 1 had on sweater blouse and
overcoat on top Of my shirt. so was
we'll loaded down. We can get our
money changed at the Y. NJ C. A
