On the Screen

AT the Rivoli this week there are
some pictures of United States ma
r'nes which occupy not even one reel
ana which went on unheraldcd And
yet at each performance they have
aroused the spectators to a pitch of
enthusiasm seldom seen in any thea
tire.
mere IS something about those 49,
wv splendid men that simply makes
YOU Jump to your feet and cheer, and
you DON'T wait, either. to see how your
Helghoor is going to take it. You don't
care. You simply know you are going
to have your hat in the air. even +
you are put out of the theatre for dis
toroing the peace. and then you find
every other man in the place feels the
same way.
Lieutenant S. l.. Rothapfel himself
took the pictures during his recent trip
through the Marine Corps encamp
ment along the Atlantic coast and they
reflect much of his enthusiasm as we'll
as that of the soldiers themselves.
Inc marines are shown in training,
and they demonstrate conclusivciy
unwary enough to get within reach of
their bayonets or fists. They also are
instructed in the gentle art of iiu
Jltsu, which they practise on each
other IN the absence of the lonced- for
foe. '0''e' A0'
The picture winds up by showing
thousands and thousands of wonderful
big Americans in uniform walking tow
ard you, and finally they walk right
INTO the mouth of the camera and are
swallowed up. 1t is wonderful pct-
Following this, Greek Evans sings
The Americans Come" with special
stage settings. 1t is most effective.
This marine picture is one of a
serles. On June % Mr.. Rothapfel
VIII do away with his usual pro
gramme for the week, and instead of
feature photoplay he will use short
SUBJECTS and musical numbers. The
feature will be aviation pictures, which
Mr.. Rothapfel took in one of the Ma
rlne Corps. aviation camps.
These pictures are said to be far
more wonderful than anything of the
sort ever secured, either in the United
States or abroad.
Some. of the most startling of the
camera mounted in another machine.
Quartermaster Sergeant John M. La
Mond. U. S. M. c.. took these views
and obtained pictures which will give
the spectator pretty good idea of
how 1t feels to be in an aeroplane when
it is doing loops, banks and tail spins.
After these pictures have been
shown at the Rivoli they will be re-
leased throughout the country by the
United States Marine Corps Publicity
Bureau. r. II.

Proved" he said. "1f the present con-
gestion continues to grow it will be
impossible for business interests in
New York to thrive, and they will be
compelled to transfer their plants else
where to compete with rivals more

we will rapidly lose our prominence
as the greatest city IN America, and
the power and revenue of the state will

ground tramways will relieve the
strain. This work is essential to the
prosperity of the state at large, and
should receive financial support from
Albany"
Municipal ownership of railway lines
and gas and electric companies, as an
unfortunate necessity, was advocated
by Mayor Cornelius F. Burns of Troy.
"No city in the state is anxious to
operate public utilities, but some of

that public welfare depends on the
right to control light and power and
transportation companies, but our bills
so far have failed of enactment. We
must keep up the fight"
Mayor Burns also recommended leg
islation to control and develop water
power in the state, to amend the public
service law to give the same privileges
and protection to consumers as to the
utilities companies, and to look after
economic rehabilitation after the war.
Reduction Of the cost of electricity
by state ownership of waterpower was
demanded by Senator Ross Graves, of
Albany

New York to operate every industry
and illuminate every building within

Graves said.
Stricter regulation of motor vehicles

"We've got to stop the number of
deaths from reckless driving" he said.
