THOSE WHO HAVE FELT THE STING CF SCANDAL APPRE.
 GATED THE BIG THEME.

'Babbling Tongues a big modern society story, snown on the Princess screen yesterday commanded the un stinted admiration of all who wit messed it.
 Ii is a mighty story of the harmful effects of idle words spoken either in a careless manner, or with intent to iniure, and if portrays the manner in which reputations are injured and fair names smirched by idle scandal mongers.
 It was startling play for local so- ciety people and it opened the eyes of many 10 the effect of idle talk about neighbors or friends and sent many away with the ayowed intention of bridIing their tongues in the fu- ture.
 'BabbIing Tongues is a remark able Ivan photoplay, and brings an all-star cast of screen favorites. in cluding James Morrison, Grace Val entine Arthur Donaldson. Paul Capel- lani Louise Beaudet and others has been assembled, presents an entirely new view of the eternal triangle. Neither a vampire nor a Magdalene story. if, because of it's tensely and entirely novel situations. has been accorded by critics exceptional praise for its particular excellence of arr tistry

GREAT WAR PICTURE
 AT ROYAL TODAY
Russia's Plight Vividedly Depicted in Most Realistic Motion Picture
 Feature

One of the most remarkable fea- lures of the films he took in Russia is the first actual motion picture of the blowing up of fourteen boats by the Russian Black Sea Fleet in full view of the camera.
 Scenes of great interest at the time are those of the Women's Death Battolion showing Botchkareva and her loyal feminine soldiers going to the front where they not only took over two lines of German trenches and a number of officers.
 No words are to be found in the English language that will adequate ly tell of the trench warfare and the over the top pictures that are in this production. One shows the start ing of a gas attack by the Germans which was not used for the purpose Cf charge, but for the purpose of placing their barbed wire The cam era then shows a detachment of men going forth to cut the wire and upon 1 their failure 10 accomplish their pur- pose you ee the bombing nt tb1 wire with wonderful accuracy by the aTtil- iery After more trench fight ng the order or over the top" is given. and in full view of the camera there may be seen hundreds of men gong over with only ten OF twelve reaching their final det natl Il, the others dropping on all sides
 It would require column after col
 nn to tell in detail f the Li.4y n ciden.s that follow q i-k ra id ty n this production, but they all visualize what Russia actually did in the war before the German intrigue got hold of her men, and show conclusively in hundred ways why every pro-Gei man in America should be thrown in jail
