 LIVE SIMPLE LIFE
Charming Portrayal of Elsie Ferguson in ''Under the Greenwood Tree"

Charming Portrayal of Elsie Ferguson
 in 'TUnder the Greenwood Tree"
 Mary Hamilton, young, beautiful, mistress of several million of pounds and one of the most charming mem bers of London society disappeared mysteriously a few days ago. It was at first believed that she may have been abducted, but according to the statement of Sir Kenneth Graham, a suitor for Miss Hamilton's hand, the missing young woman is living the life of a gypsy in the New Forest.
 This was the tenor of the items which were published in the big London newspapers at the time Miss Hamilton disappeared. No further particulars regarding the young woman could be obtained, but it was whispered that she was disgusted with society and had made up her mind to live the simple life. What followed is revealed in the new Art craft photoplay, Under the Green wood Tree" starring Elsie Ferguson which will be shown at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow.
 FOIlOWlnS MISS Hamilton ulSAL U New Forest, where she became gyps. and lived in a caravan, she had trou- ble with the gypsies themselves and 1 later Jack Hutton, owner of the for est. gave orders that every gypsy or
 the place should be driven away 1 Miss Hamilton was ordered to qul
 her camping place, but when Jacl l Fees her. he instantly falls in love with her. How this romance end
 forms a captivating story which i charmingly revealed in the picture.

RECEIVING VAULT
 IN ST. MICHAEL'S


 Under direction of Rev. J. B. Nihill a receiving vault and chapel is being built at St. MichaeFs cemetery in Stratford by Schwarz Bros, which is expected to be ready for use before severe cold weather sets in. It is 100 feet, long, and about 28 feet wide, divided into receiving section and chapel. It is the intention during the severe weather to hold the committal services in the chapel, and place the bodies in the receiving vault until moderate weather allows for burial in the cemetery proper. Last winter it was necessary at times to blast the ground to open graves it was frozen so hard. Recently an epidemic of in- f1uenEa brought so many burials it was almost impossible to secure grave dig gers enough. It is to avoid such a condition this winter that the vault has been started. The cost is estimated at about $15,000. -

FLAME BECOMES THE MOTH

FLAME BECOMES THE MOTH.
 Gaby Deslys, the fascinating French dancer, once the star of the Broadway success, "Stop! Look! Listen" returns to America in wonderful cinematic presentation of Marcel LHerbier's "Infatuation." It is the story, not of a woman of the fashionable world, but of a humble flower worker, who rose from pow erty and temptation to be the adored dancer of the gay French capital. And-an unusual twist-the woman who was the flame, becomes herself the f1uttering, helpless moth.
 This picture, elaborate and costly in its setting and dressing was made by the Eclipse Film Co. of France and directed by Louis Mercanton. formerly stage director for Madame Bernhardt in Paris, and for @ Herbert Beerbohm Tree, at His Majestys Theatre, London; and it was he who directed Madame Bern hardt in the screen classics, Mothers i of France" and Queen Elizabeth, '' | the latter, one of the first big pie | lures to be specially shown on Broad way, where it was given in a success ful season, under the management ot | Daniel Frohman.
 "Infatuation" is a six-reel Pathe | Special Feature now showing al Polrs theatre with big vaudeville | bill. In it Gaby has a strong emo
 tiona1 role, which she interprets witl
 is-iY Ctr nd l does she wear some new and won
 derful hats and costumes over whicl
 the designers and nodistes worket
 for three months before the big pic 1 ture was put into production.
