Out There"-Jefferson

One of the most expensive casts ever organized will be seen at the Jefferson Christmas matinee and night, and mati- nee and night December 26, in the great play Out There,' written by J. Hartley Manners. This organization boasts not one or two stars but five of them and local playgoers may never again be able to see so many great players as a holi- day attraction. Thomas w. Ross, Amelia Bingham, Pauline Lord Mary Shaw and Frederick Warde are the luminaries who will be on view when "Out There" is presented locally. Possibly it is only be- cause of the wonderful opportunity this play affords each member that has en- abled the management to assemble such a brilliant cast.
 Out There enjoyed run of an en- tire season in New York city and was the play which collected nearly sf50,o0t for the Red Cross fund during the re- cent drive for that purpose.

shown there for the opening performance yesterday afternoon. The picture was seen at the Jefferson earlier in the season and drew large crowds.
 Hearts of the World is gripping story of love with the great war in Flu rope for a background. The principal parts are taken by the Gish sisters, who have been made stars under the coaching of Mir Griffith, and Robert Harron, an- other Griffith star, who enjoys wide popularity among patrons of the screen. While the producer prefers to call his photodrama love story, it is made re- markedly vivid and impressive by many scenes of actual fighting along the west ern battlefront. These views, showing practically every phase in minute detail of the struggle made to hurl back the German invaders from France, were taken under the auspices of the British and French governments. Except in those parts where it is necessary to in troduce the actors to carry out the plot. the war scenes are wonderfully graphic presentations of real fighting. The allied soldiers are shown in action. giving forceful and impressive portrayal of the titanic struggle which was going on while
 Hearts of the World was being filmed Needless to say, the Griffith actors were aiso eANeh lo rlahSe eo see Ae"iAseio eA fleets.
 No one can see Hearts of the World" without realizing to the full what heroic France endured at the hands of the Germans and apprehending something of
 the spirit which upheld the French peo- pie during those dark days when the fate of the nation and of all civilization hung in the balance.
 Apart from the tremendous panorama
 of war, the photoplay is filled with swift | ly moving incidents revolving around an
 American who fought for France and his French sweetheart. The Gish sis ters and Mir. Harron do some exception- ally fine acting and they are supported by others who are trained in MT. Grif- 1 fths eXacting school.

dence of a news connection between the Journal and the Hearst newspapers
 Tn the early days of the European war. MT Becker testified, offering doc uments in sub bstantiation the propa- ganda movement in the United States was financed in this way:
 NEW YORK BANKER MIXED UP
 The German government deposited S25, ,000, 900 marks of war notes August .12 with M. M Warburg & Co, bankers, at Hamburg as collateral for a loan, s400, 900 which Kuhn, Loeb & Co., New York bankers, September 8, 1914, made to pr Bernard Dernburg, German prop agandist in the United States. Dern- burg later placed the entire account at the disposal of Dr. Heinnerich F. Albert. said to have been paymaster of the enemy propagandists.
 Later Chandler & Co.,, New York bankers, sold $10,000,000 of German war securities for the German representa- tives for which $9,99S,000 was realized, said Mir. Becker and this sum, togeth- CT with other amounts derived from subsequent sale of German bonds, pro- vided funds with which the German representatives iuggled. checking them in and out of various banks to provide basis for advances, and to promote trade relations. These funds were dis tributed by Count Won Bernstorn and Albert, according to the witness.
 Among the banks named by the wit ness as having sold German war se- ourities were Zimmerman & Forshay, Transatlantic Trust company. Muller SchaI & Co. and Kanuth, Nachod &
 Kuhne, New York
 Referring to the plot by Capt. Hans Tauscher, German reserve officer to foment rebellion in India. MT. Becker read an affidavit by Abraham Stein of
 A. M. Stein & Co, New York, saying that an unnamed German came to him before the United States entered the war and asked if the company had trade connections in the Dutch East Indies, where the Germans wanted to send a quantity of rifles and ammuni- tion. MT. Stein refused to have any thing to do with the proposition. He said the German had been introduced to him by Adolph Pavenstedt, a mem- Der of G. Amsinck X Co, New York bankers.
