Masks and Faces in Film.

A brilliant array Of histrionic talent is
presented in Masks and Faces" which
will be released by the World Picture:
Corporation May 6.
The very flower of the English-speak.
ing stage has been culled to picture thi.
play, round which. in the past. has beer
written more golden pages of stage
history perhaps than any other produc-
tion presented within the walls of the
theater.
George Bernard Shaw, Sir Arthur
Pincro and Sir John Hare, representing
a committee of the Academy of Drama
tic Art of England, decided in the fur
play on. the screen that offered an op-
portunity to employ the largest num-
bsr of stars.
After several conferences it was de-
cided that Masks and Faces" Charles
Reade's and Tom Taylor's famous drama,
was an ideal play for the purpose.
Reade's novel, based upon the play, and
called Peg Woffington," is the richer
OF the two in incident, and has ac-
cordingly been made the groundwork
The story tells of the loves and the
humanity of Peg Wellington, a beauti-
ful and vivacious actress from the
Emerald Isle, who. from a humble or
du6e SlTls grew 10 De tne CARING OF the
theater of her day, and is too well
known to need elaboration.
The role of Triplet was assigned to
Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson; that of
Peg Wellington, to Irene Vanbrugh;
Ernest vane, to Dennis Nelson Terry;
Gfbber. to Dion Boucicault; Mabel
Vane.~ to Gladys Cooper: Sir Charles

cast for Lowell and Hunsdon. Poman-
ders servants; Mrs. Tripiet was played
by Winifred Emery; Colander. by H.

Viola Tree, who was last seen in
America in support of her father, Sir
Berbohm Tree; Stella Campbell, the
thade Elliott, the wife q Forbes-Rob-
ertson and sister of Maxine Elliott,
were cast as members of Rich's COM

Fabia Drake. Joan Buckmas-

theatrical manager. Others in the cast
are Henry Wharf, ]. Fisher White.

The history of Masks and Faces" in
itself is romance as fascinating as
those of Dumas, Scott or Balzac. Two
stage characters in it stand out as
today as they did when
their praise rang highest-David Gar
rick and Margaret Woffington-"Peg."
as she is better known, who was Gar
rick's leading lady and personal friend.
Masks and Faces" was first acted at
the Haymarket Theater, London, No
20, 1852. The first impersona-
tion of Peg Wellington" was by Mrs.
and the first Triplet, by Ben
iamin webster, whose work was one
IF the crowning glories of the perform
ance and gave to the play the enduring
auality that marks it as one of the
greatest comedies of the English-speak-
ng stage. A memorable revival was
made at the Prince of Wales Theater,
November 6, 1875. with Sir Squire and
Lady Bancroft in the roles of Triplet
md Peg Woffington.

Gen Allenby's advance has slowed
down somewhat recently. although dur
on fve-mile' front to the north on
Jerusalem to a depth of one and q half.
In view OF the British preparations
for an enemy drive and in view of past
successes. 1t would not appear that the
Germans and Turks will achieve much
success in their counter offensive
movements. Gen. Allenby is a tena-
cious fighter and will not fall back un-
less 1t is absolutely imperative Fur
thermore. his lines of communication
are such. as to insure the steady for
ward movement Of all necessary mill
tary supplies and men from Egypt, the
real British base for the near eastern
operations.
The Turkish forces continue their ad-
vance through the Russian Caucasus
and are declared to be before Batoum
and marching toward Kara.
The whole situation indicates that
the Germans are squirting on the Turks
to renewed military endeavor and that
every effort will be made to carry out
the much-deferred plans Of extending
German influence to the near east, Per-
sfa and even into India.
I Artillery activity in Italy has been
increasing during the past ten days,
| with sharp patrol activities in the re-
gion Of Asiago and along the Piave.
Weather conditions are hardly auspi-
cious for a major offensive by either
the allies or tho Austro-German forces
at the present moment, but that fierce
dghting will come shortly is q fact
which goes without question. The Ital-
ian arena will henceforth be one Of the
most important, so closely connected
are developments here with those on
the main sections OF the western
front.

Labor Attacked in Senate.

A fierce attack on labor for alleged
failure to do its part in the war broke
o4t In the Senate when the conference
report on the sabotage bill was sub
mitted to that body. The purpose of
the bill is to prevent interference with
war industry. The House had inserted
u provision exempting labor, in the
cass of strike. from the penalties Of
the law. The Senate conferees ac-
cepted the provision. but because of 1t
the Senate rejected the conference re-
port by vote Of "a to rs.
During the debate which preceded
the vote labor was charged with re-
sponsfbility for delay in the shipbuild-
ing program and with other sins Of
omission and commission; but labor
did not lack senatorial champions and
was lauded in speeches for Its loyalty
and self-sacrice.
Another event of the week bearing
ON the labor question was tho creation
by President Wilson of a national war
labor board to adjust during the period
Of the war all disputes between en-
ployers and employees. The board .is
headed by former President Taft and
has the same membership as the com,

have been sent to France, where
they are in service behind the
trenches, doing great service un-
der all the stress and strains OF
war conditions. Another 10000
are in course of distribution thro
ugh the war boards Of the various
States, and are to be distributed
under their auspices for use in
purposes that contribute to pros

hearted H. R. Sisk, who has
sneaked behind a petticoat to
evade military service. Just go

The tractor is described by Mr..
Harms as having met every test,
an at the demonstration it proved
itself one Of the most adaptable,
powerful and dependable locomo-
tors ever produced. For plowing
it was hitched to an Oliver No.
Z gang plow. which is made for
the Fordson tractor, and sold
with it exclusively.
The Fordson tractors contracted
for by the various state war bo-
ards were are all sold without
profit, the plan being to get them
into the hand of those who would
make good use of them at the
lowest possible cost.
Mr. Karns was Informed that
a carload of the Fordson tractors
was en- route to his agency at
Nogales; and the consignment will
be shortly, ready for delivery.
From Ell Paso Mr.. Karns retur-
ned to Tucson Tuesday, and he
was there two days at a conven-
tion of all the Ford dealers in Ar
izona. He described the gath
ering as a large body of widea-
wake, live wires, numbering ma
ny of the best business men in
the state. AS described by the
representative from Nogales de-
ibe rations of the assamblage We
re instructive, edifying and prof
liable to the participants; and the
most remarkable feature of the
affair was that neither Tucson
newspaper was aware Of the
gathering in their city, and not a
line Of print appeared about it.
From Tucson Mr.. Karns went
to Phoenix Wednesday afternoon,
there over night. and returning
home yesterday morning.
