AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

Al the Republic Theatre tonight
will be shown the latest World-Picture
Brady Made, "Whims Of Society,"" in
which charming Ethel Clayton is star
red. The popularity of this star and
the story told in this picture are sure
10 interest and entertain all those who
see il.
Miss Clayton portrays the role OF
Nora Carey, a factory girl. in this pic
ture. Nora has young sister, Kath-
crime, aged fifteen, and Katherine is
inclined TO be a little wild. 1t is a
great task for Nora TO keep a watch
over Katherine and TO earn the money
which will enable Katherine to con-
tinue in school and to provide living
for the two of them. At the factory,
Nora's beauty and intelligence attract
the greedy eyes of Marlinoff, the for
eign, hot-blooded foreman. Marlinoff
thrusts himself upon Nora, and as her
job depends upon his good will she
dare not treat him in the way he de-
served and in the way she wished to
treat him.
Then Nora meets Hugh Trayers, son
of the owner of the factory, and Hugh
falls in love with her. From this time
on events happen rapidly and they
all go to make one of the most intense
ly interesting and entertaining pic
lures.

AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

Sessue Hayakawa in "The City of
Dim Faces" an Oriental phOtoplay
beautiful and tragic, will be the superb
attraction at the Colonial this evening.
AS Jang Lung, a young Chinese Am
erican, the son OF Chinese merchant
and of a white woman, Sessue Haya-
kawa has a Characterization, which.
in subtlety and heart interest has not
been approached by any he has hereto
fore essayed. This photoplay is one
of rare excellence from the standpoint
of production and artistry, and will
doubtless rank as one of the best
Hayakawa-P Paramount repetoire. AS a
young half-caste Chinese, Jang is in
volved in a love affair with a high
class wealthy young woman, who,
when she realizes that the east and
west can never meet and be happy, re-
nounces him and he, in revenge, makes
her prisoner, then sells her to Chi
nese marriage broker in San Fran
cisco, who, in turn, auctions her off
TO the highest bidder in a marriage
market in the Chinese quarters. 1t is
when he observes the terror of the
girl he loves, that the white blood in
him asserts its supremacy, and learn
ing by accident of the existence of his
mother, he hastens to the girls rescue
and, after a fierce battle, succeeds in
carrying her off to safety. In the
melee he is mortally wounded and
when she tells him that she loves him,
he thrusts her aside, goes to his moth
er, who recognizes him in a lucid mo
ment, and dies at her feet. The City
of Dim Faces" is a remarkable photo
play, the scenes of which were photo
graphed in the Chinese quarter of San
Francisco, and many Orientals take
part therein. The City of Dim
Faces" is a story of a man and girl
who were gripped by bond as firm
as the wall of China itself, but one was
white and one was yellow. What a
wonderful drama it makes. Pathe

Bessie BaTriscale in an exceedingly
unusual and strong story of the under
world entitled "Blindfolded," will be
the very pleasing attraction at the Co
lonial tomorrow evening. In Blind
folded" Bessie Barriscale portrays the
role of Peggy Muldoon, a girl crook,
who later undergoes a complete trans
formation Of character, but whose Gle
yerness in the past is not forgotten for
a moment either by herself or her
former accomplices. The picture, tense
with suspense and interest, contains a
strong unexpected climax In the role
OF Peggy woman safe-breaker, Bes-
sic Barriscale does some of the most
impressive work of her career, and it
is certain that all who view this pic
ture will enjoy it immensely inasmuch
as IL is so entirely different from any
Characterization which the brilliant
star has ever portrayed. Some of the
most tensely dramatic scenes which
have ever been staged at the Paralta
Studios take place in the early part of
this picture and develop a situation
which forms a sudden and thrilling
climax with most unexpected twist

For the purposes of the "'Y," Mr..
DeGroote said, France is divided into
three major athletic divisions-the
ports of entry and bases where the
military population is floating, re-
naming for from twenty-four hours
to three weeks; the interior where
there is a permanent American mill
tary population consisting of steve
dores, mechanics, supply and con-
struction men, ETC., and the combat
zone. In the first zone the "Y" ath-
letic work is almost entirely of a
recreational nature to overcome the
cramp and fatigue of life aboard the
transports. In the second zone base
ball league are arranged, football
schedules drawn up and various con-
tests and tournament take place

FORCES
DEMAND ATHLETICS
How Supplies Are Utilized
Overseas For Athletic
Activities
DEMAND FOR DIRECTORS

The demand among our fighting
forces in France for athletic supplies
is perfectly Overwhelming" in the
words of E. B. DeGroote. Chicago and
San Francisco Fairgrounds specialist,
who is in charge of "Y'' athletic ac-
tivities in France under DR.. ]. H. Nc
Curdy, who heads the department of
physical education, athletics, santa
ton and hygiene.
Last year." said Mr.. DeGroote,
"the Y. NJ. C. A. bought and distrib-
uted among the American army in
France 100000 worth of athletic
supplies and we are now filing our
1919 order for S1,400,0O0 worth >"
These supplies are loaned to the sol
diers without charge, but they are
expected to return them to the hut of
central branch from which they oh
tanned them.
The demand for athletic directors is
nearly as big as that for athletic sup
plies, according to Mr.. DeGroote. The
Red Triangle has more than 200 physi-
cal directors in France and is seek
ing to recruit 400 more That is the
especial purpose of Mr. DeGroote's
visit home. After the war ends and
peace is being negotiated, the demand
for such men will be even greater than
it now is
THE big problem with which we
are engaged at present" said Mr.. De-
Groote, sis athletics among the SOL
diers while peace is being signed and
during the period of rehabilitation
which viii require more than a year,
according to expert opinion. Sports
and athletics will be needed then more
than ever to keep the minds of the
soldiers occupied. to aid in maintain
ing discipline and to help keep them
in fine physical condition for their re-
turn to civil life at home. During
that time we hope to institute athletic
military games on a tremendous
scale"

AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

Viola Dana, charming Metro star of
The Only Road" a stirring story of
Western life, has again made good use
of the art which first introduced her
to the public-that of stage dancing.
In THE Only Road" this versatile lit
tie actress dances the fandango, and
in her previous release, 1.-The Wind
ing Trail" another spirited Spanish
dance was called for.
At the early age of five little Viola
made her theatrical debut as a toe
dancer. Later she took up dramatic
work, though she did not lose her
terpsichorean art, always keeping up
with the latest dances. This know1-
edge she has found very useful in her
picture work. Some of Miss Dana's
other Metro successes are Riders of
the Night" Breakers Ahead" "A
Weaver of Dreams" THE Winding
Trail" Blue Jeans" THE Girl With
out a Soul and many others of equal
note.
Before attaining fame on the screen,
Miss Dana was already known on the
stage as a dramatic actress of distinc-
ton In THE Poor Little Rich Girl
in which play she created the title role,
and which had a mountaineering
Broadway run, Miss Dana attracted
the attention of dramatic critics
throughout the country by the excel
lence OF her work. Thomas Jefferson,
the famous actor, noticed this latent
dramatic talent of the young actress
when she played the part of Little
Hendrick in his production of RIP
Van Winkle,' and for this reason took
keen interest in her career.

years old, is an ardent war garden adj
vocate, and has utilized her entire back
yard for that purpose; but her plans
for raising vegetables were frustrated
because she saw fit TO plant a pumpkin
seed in the center of the garden.
Some of the pumpkins lay upon the
ground, others hang suspended from
the vine caught upon the grape arbor,
while others rest upon the frame of
the arbor. One pumpkin measures
three feet in circumference and hangs
from the vine. The pumpkins have
attracted considerable attention all
over Brooklyn, and Mrs. Gray is very
proud Of her war garden which never
was, just because the pumpkin vine
appeared.
