ACTUAL WHITE SLAVE

'When a Man Sees Red," Strikingly Real, According to New York
 Morning Telegram

In his latest production William Far nun sees red more or less continuously through seven reels of vigorous and stir ring melodrama. The story is of the type that book advertisements character ize as red blooded." and suggests a combina tion of Jack London and Rex Beach at their reddest and rawest. Sew eraI of the scenes might seem too brutal for screen presentation. but the produc- ton as a whole is pictured on the basis of absolute realism. for the director has given it the strength that comes from perfect sincerity.
 The plot opens with white slave" in cident reproduced from an actual case that received much publicity in San Francisco young sailor returns from cruise to find that his sister has been kidnapped and murdered on the Barhary Coast and that the shock has killed his mother From that moment he de- cides to devote his life to the averaging If his sisters death. After a series of thrilling adventures he finds himself on a desert island. where his sworn enemy is offering the painted lady at auction to a crowd of negro natives. He falls gleefully upon his victim, strangies him with undisguised joy. and then resumes his wooing of the painted lady whom he had known under less primitive cir cumstances.

Adapted from Larry Evans story which ran in the Saturday Evening Post under the title of "The Painted Lady" this Standard picture present ing William Farnum Is. if memory does not betray, the strongest pie ture of the year. MT. Farnum is sup piled with fighting role, "his great est fighting role" says the press agent with a show of modesty that is sur prising.

HOW THE RED CROSS MAKES
ITS DOLLARS WORK

OF striking interest to everyone who
has contributed to the Red Cross will
be the statement contained in the fin
first half of 1915, to the effect that
its costs but two cents of every dollar
contributed to the cause to operate the
administrative bureaus in the United
States. More interesting still is the
fact that for every dollar contributed
by the American people for the war
relief work. more than one dollar and
one cent is expended for that purpose
the extra cent being provided by
interest on tho funds.
The operating expenses of tho nat
ional headquarters and the fourteen
divisions in the United States are all
paid out of fund arising from mem
bership dues, not a dollar of the funds
contributed for relief work being used
for overhead expense. Tho total
operating expenses for the whole
country were but s2.164,s65 fer the
fiscal year. AT the time the report
was prepared there were about $500
persons employed in the work OF the
Red Cross in the United States and
and more than $500 workers overseas,
AS is well known, the heads of the
departments OF the Red Cross organ
izations are all volunteer workers,
many men and women of great ability
having given up lucrative business to
join in the work. OF the 6.234 pail
workers, more than 500 receive $500
a year or less, the majority receiving
less than $1,000.
OF course these figures cover only
the workers In the national and divi-
sional headquarters. They are not TO
be confused with the eight million
women workers who volunteer their
services in the workrooms of the
four thousand chapters OF the Red
Cross all over the country. These
workers turned out over forty-four
million dollars worth Of finished
articles last year. Thus 1t will be seen
that the American Red Cross conduc S
one of largest merchandise business
in the world. During the year end
ed June 80, the Red Cross appropriat-
ed $107,716,34S to carry on its work
abroad and at home.

THINK VAMPIRES KILL SHEEP
Macedonian Shepherds Have Firm Be-
lief in the Existence Of Creatures
of Lower World.

A Macedonian shepherd. tending his
f1ocks in the high pastures, sets off
on his rounds in the morning. and finds
several of his sheep mangled about the
neck, dying or dead. He hastens to
the nearest village and spreads the aw-
full news-Vampires
Now vampire may only be seen
by certain gifted people, and these
make ii their life's business to destroy
them. Their usual fee is about sixty
dollars. So the shepherd hastens to
a vampire killer, and this man takes
down his long musket, loads it, and
rams down holy wafer on top of
the charge. He puts on long sheep
skin coat and sets out for the hills.
Just before dawn he will be heard
to fire a single shot. At daybreak he
shows the shepherd pool of blood.
That is the dead vampire. for a vam-
pire is all blood. and, being shot, of
course resolves into a pool of blood.
A vampire slayer is treated with
great Difference by his neighbors. He
Is a power in the land. But in all
villages there is usually one scoffer !:
one man who can read, or. perhaps,
has travelled outside his native land.
He laughs when you mention vampires.
and talks Of wolves and dogs that have
run amuck. He even hints that 1t is
possible to hide bladder filed with
blood beneath the long sheepskin coat
the slayer wears. There is bad feeling
between the vampire slayer and this
scoffer. They pass each other without
speaking.
