The day cannot be far off when
audiences assembling at war plays will
end gas masks provided at every seat.
The realism of modern warfare is max
ing rapid strides in the theatre. The
bombardment in "Seven Days Leave"
outdid all previous stage combustions,
only to be surpassed in turn by Get
ting Together" and now IAN Ameri-
can Ace" has come to the Casino with
a store of munitions, providing for
wellnigh. continuous drum-fre. The
play may be recommended as an ex-
ceilcnt tonic for sensitive souls who
ordinarily cringe at pistol shot be-
h;r the scenes.
Lincoln J. Carter, the author of can
American Ace" is no novice at the
construction of thrillers, whether of
battle, murder or other varieties of
sudden death. It was he who wrote
Chattanooga" drama of the Civil
War, which was produced in 1900, and
Remember the Maine," of Spanish
American War days. Now that the
press and pulpit are doing their part
to arouse the spirit of the people, Mr..
Carter feels it his mission to join them
with all the tremendous visualizing
power of the theatre.
The day after the opening Of can
American Ace" Mr.. Carter was found
in the offices Of A. H. Woods, the pro-
Queer, and proved not unwilling to talk.
"Since the beginning of hostilites, y
said he, "dramatists have longed to
make use of the opportunities afforded
by the conditions of modern warfare
for great scenic effects. At first we
not offend the Germans. Nobody cares
any longer whether we offend them or
not. So at last we are at liberty to
draw on these spectacular opportuni-
ties, which are, indeed, practically in
exhaustible. Previous to the war every
resource Of melodrama had been worn
to tatters. Now they are renewed again
MANIFOLD"
the war play. The old formula of melo-
drama, tried and true, with its infu-
sion Of Glove interest,"" appears to be
sufficient to the day. The spy, of
course, is indispensable. Beyond that
all that is needed is a story built
around a number of scenic effects. In
San American Ace" Mr. Carter was not
content with merely two or three spec
tacular features, but employed FIVE or
six of the major order.
The greatest aid to the modern war
play is the improvement of electrical
apparatus. By this means all the eff
fects may now be obtained in much
more satisfactory manner that were
formerly contrived by use of smoke
pots, spark pots, red fire and lacapodium
flashes, all of which incendiary and in
fernal contraptions were abolished by
law after the Iroquois fire in Chicago.
The electrical apparatus is perfectly
safe, the scenery is required to be alb
solutely fireproof, and, furthermore,
the approval Of the city authorities
must be had for the use of cartridges
and other decorating material.
The scenic effects of "An American
Ace" were contrived in the most in
genlous manner, as explained by Mr..
Carter. Real rapid fire guns are used
in the trench scene. In addition to

Another extension of "Mrs. War
ren's Profession" which the Washing
ton Square Players are presenting at
the Comedy Theatre, with Mary Shaw
playing Mrs. Warren, is announced.
Originally intended for run of only
two weeks, the play has proved so pop
ular that it has broken all records at
the Comedy, SO when it was found pos
slble to rearrange the bookings on tour
it was decided to keep the play here
for two weeks more. The premier of
the new bill Of the Players, therefore,

special significance of Christmas this
year, when peace again has come into
the world. 1t reads in part:
This Christmas the knights are
particularly anxious that every
Mason in Grand Forks and the entire
state as well. take c~ognizance of the
custom, feeling that if there ever has
been a time when our Christmas OBJ
servance should show what these
words mean, it is December Is, 1918,
which so closely follows the termina-
ton of -four years of a world war that
is unparalleled in history. Surely
there a never be more significance
to the words, Peace on Earth, Good
Will Toward Men, than at this time.
The world wants peace and longs for
the time when swords shall be beaten
into plowshares and spears into prun-
ing hooks'T day when the reign Of
the Great Captain of salvation, the
blessed Emmanuel, the Prince Of
Peace, shall become universal"

The toast you propose is most ap-
propriate at this time. The dark
cloud that cast it's gloom over the
world when we celebrated this natal
day one ear g has been dispelled,
thanks to the aid of our brave boys
who have made the supreme sacrifice
by offering their lives on the altar of
u country in the cause of God and
humanity.
Many of our brave Knights are in
the service Of u country, while
them as life itself cover there" Ours
is a peaceful order, but not to such an
extent as to sit quietly by and see our
fellow men ruthlessly murdered,
women outraged and innocent chill
dren slain. The existence Of such a
condition long years ago first called
u order into being. Never in the
history of the world nave the laws of
God and humanity been so ruthlessly
swept aside as in this worlds war.
For a long time it looked as if
might was to conquer over right. And
in our despair we cried out, watch
man, what of the night?" and the
answer came back, Fear not, trust in
God. Behold, the dawn is breaking,
the sun of righteousness is shining,
and now thanks to Almighty God, we
see the dawn of day full Of promise
to all the peoples of all the world.
Autocracy has been overthrown.
and we hope so crushed to earth as
never to dare prosecute mankind
again. But our labors are not ended,
for the world must now face the great
responsibilities of guaranteeing a
lasting peace under new conditions.
This great news has set the joy bells
ringing n more, proclaiming the
triumph of the true religion of our
Blessed Emmanuel, as announced in
the angel chorus heard on the plains
Of Bethlehem nearly two thousand
years ago. GLORY to God in the
Highest, and on earth Peace, Good
Will toward Men,"
Will Display Candles.
A beautiful Christmas custom will
again be observed in the city on
Christmas eve and day, when lighted
candles will be placed in the windows
of many homes in honor of the birth
day of Christ. In a summons issued
by Commander w. H. Alexander of
st. Aldemar commandery No. 3,

made of the members of command
and of all Masons in the city to place
lighted candles in the windows of
their homes on Christmas eve and

heroic, faith, face the mighty prob
lens the new era brings to civilization.
The grand master sends the follow
ing response:
