TEMPLE OF DUSK" AT ALCAZAR ALL
 OF THIS WEEK
Sessue Hayakawa Will Star in Splendid Photoplay Off, fering for Entire
 Week

''The Temple of Dusk" featuring the celebrated Japanese star, Sessue Haya- kawa, will be the attraction at the AL cazar beginning Monday.
 This is said to be the crowning effort of this wonderful oriental screen artist, and abounds with tense dramatic situa- tions that offers wide scope for Haya- kawa to employ the talents that have made him one of the most popular actors before the camera today. The story is from the pen of Francis Marion, and had a great sale in book form
 A brilliant cast surrounds Hayakawa in "The Temple of Duck" which was produced by his own company. The leading roles are handled by Sylvia Bre- mer and Jane Novak, two of the most beautiful young women in pictures who have appeared in numerous successful productions. Henry Barrows, an actor of wide experience, interprets an im- portant role, and Mary Jane Irving, the little four-year- old tot, is an important factor in the play.
 have a large following among motion picture fans" Each is a beauty. Miss Novak is a striking blonde while Miss Bremer is an attractive brunette. In addition to these players there are IF Geisha girls and eight Japanese actors who were selected by Hayakawa from among players who passed through the Royal College of Drama at the University of Tokio and were formerly members of the Imperial Dramatic company.

Enrico Caruso Comes To
 Strand in My Cousin"
Wonderful Photoplay Offering for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday-Biy Burke, in "The Make-Believe
 Wife, on Thursday Friday and Saturday

Besides the great Caruso picture is a special musical programme, Pathe news and comedy "Up a Tree" starring Fanny Billy Parsons.
 As it's attraction for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Strand is presenting Billy Burke in her very latest Paramount picture, "The Make-Believe Wife, by Edward Childs Carpenter.
 There is an abundance of fine comedy in the picture, and Miss Burke declares that her role is an excellent one. q was immensely pleased with the role of Phillis Ashbrook," said Miss Burke. Fancy a woman who is engaged to one man being lost in the mountains with a man who is the fiance of the woman's best friend. They are caught in a stol < and are obliged to seek refuge in an old cabin where they are forced by the ele- ments to spend the night. Of course this situation has developed in motion pie lures, but never just like that in The Make Believe Wife
 One of the James Montgomery Flags comedies, Tell That to the Marines" is an added attraction to the programme, as is also Pathe news.

Every ocean steamer that leaves an American port is required by law to have wireless telegraph apparatus and operators An act of Congress- passed
 in 1910, made it unlawful for any ocean, going steamer carrying passengers to leave or attempt to leave any port of the United States without being equipped with an efficient apparatus for radio communication, in good working order, in charge of a person skilled in the use of such apparatus. After the Titanic disaster, in 1913, this act was amended by providing that the radio equipment must be in charge of two or more persons skilled in the use of such apparatus, one or the other of whom shall be on duty at all times while the vessel is being navigated."

The Strand theatre makes one of the most important announcements of the theatrical world when it tells of the appearance of Enrico Caruso, the dis tinguished tenor, in his first picture, My Cousin" on Monday, Tuesday and We'd nesday. MT. Caruso is not only the great est tenor of modern times, but he is an actor of exceptional ability, as his work in this Aircraft photoplay amply proves The story deals with the for tunes of a poor artist and successful tenor, two characters diametrically op- posed to each other, but which are mar vels of art in Caruso's hands.
 The photoplaX is said by critics to be one of the finest pictures from every standpoint issued this season. That 1t affords the famous artist abundant op- portunities for the display of his bril- liant talents, is readily conceded.
 Tn his second character Caruso has to fall in love with his model, and he makes love to her as he would to some great opera belle in the glare of the footlights beneath the Diamond Horseshoe at the Metropolitan opera house in New York

young Japanese girl has obtained license as sea captain. Her name is Tatzu Imanizo, and she received her training from her father, with whom she sailed the Inland sea. When she applied for a license the authorities hesitated, for she was the first woman who had ever sought recognition as skipper. As there was no provision permitting determination on account of sex, the license was issued.

The United States has now been at
war for more than year. But up to
the present time the Red Cross has
made but one national appeal for help
its 100000. 900 drive in the summer
Of 1917. Now it is about to make an
other appeal-its second. And upon
the heels of the Third Liberty
Loan. For, great as are the re-
sponsibilities and the opportunities OF
the institution whose blazing symbol
is recognized by civilized nations the
world over as q symbol of peace and
of comfort, its expenditures are but
small fraction of those required for
our governmental expense for the con-
duct of the war.

The Red Cross has never permitted
itself to encroach upon the functions

although there are many times when
it might justify itself in so doing. In
the single important instance of trans

vast supplies of stores. even though
these were destined for the relief and
the lives Of the soldiers and the sailors

drinking. A little reduction on all OF
these and the proceeds turned to an en-
tirely new habit would be a mighty
good thing at this time. And for that
fifth habit l am going to propose the
Red Cross-the Red Cross habit. if you
please. 1t will be habit the gathered
money of which will go to the credit,
not Of yourself, but of the greatest
charity that America ever has known,
which makes this new habit more than
a habit--a real virtue-the virtue OF
self sacrifice.
Our Country the Richest.
Try being ready for the Red Cross
collector-not merely the next time he
comes, but on each subsequent call.
Do not face him with the reproachful
suggestion that he has seen you be-
fore. Our country is big land, in
many ways the biggest and richest in
the world, but it is not big enough nor
rich enough that folks with money can
escape with but single invitation to
contribute.
That is why I suggest the Red Cross
habit-the continuous setting aside of
definite sums of money by patriotic
Americans against the Red Cross
drives. 1t is habit which l cannot
commend too heartily to you.
