On the Screen
Fred Stone Makes Debut in
Screen in a Weak Picture;
Harold Lockwood Scores

An unfortunate vehicle mas been Sc
lected for Fred Stone to make his film
debut. 1t is being presented at the
Strand this week and is appropriately
called "The Goat"
The story has evidently been written
around Mr.. Stone and his accomplish
ments. Not once is the star allowed
to stand still long enough for any one
to be sure that it is Fred Stone, and a
few close-ups would have been well
coined by his admirers.
There are plenty of amusing in
cidents, but they are not linked to-
gether convincingly and the story suf-
fers accordingly.
"Chuck' Mccarthy is an ironworker
who desires to be a movie actor. His
father disapproves, but his mother eggs
him on with such remarks as, "Sure,
Chuck, you're as handsome as William
S. Hart" We cannot see why "Chuck"
should have bee. unduly elated by this,
for no one ever claimed that Bill Hart
is beauty. He is merely the best
actor on the screen.
However, thus encouraged, Chuck be-
came an extra in film company and
was allowed to double for all of the
stars who did not care TO risk thelr
own necks. Stone IS excellent in his
scenes, and even with the handicap of
a bad play he achieved personal
success.
Raymond Hatton is seen in a small
part, that Of movie director. Rhea
Mitchell is the pseudo-French van-

Wants More Women
F or Salvationist
W ork in France
Col. Barker Comes Back
to Recruit His Forces
at Front

After fifteen months of service at
tbs front as director general OF the
Salvation Army with the American ex-
peditionary forces in France, Colonel
William s. Barker said yesterday on
his return to the United States that
the most valuable contribution made
by this organization in the war has
been the inauguration of women work
ers to serve in army camps.
There was n great deal Of prejudice
before the Salvation Army lassie made
her appearance at the front, SAYS Colo
mel Barker; but it was she who showed
that there was a place in the army
camps tor good. earnest moral women.
Colonel Barker has proved that he can
gauge rightly the feminine appeal, for
IL was he who introduced into the
army cantcen home-mode apple pie and
the doughnuts which have become ia
nous along the entire Western front.
The colonel, who has organized the
entire forces Of the Salvation Army in
the fighting area has found it neces-
sary to begin recruiting for more work
ers. There are now one hundred of
his workers on the front. He is try
ing to find thousand more. Fifty pei
cent of these will be women.
There is feeling among the Ameri-
; can soldiers, the colonel said yester-
day.. that the Salvation Army brings
good luck, for this organization has
never suffered n casualty 1t is popu-
lar with the men, too, because it helps
them in small ways. In the Paris hos
pital, for example, there is service
maintained free Of charge by the Sal
walton Army which aims TO give the
sick soldiers anything they desire
Workers go each day and ask them
what they want, and the next day the
requests arc filled, no matter what tn,
soldier desired
Colonel Barker will return almos
Immediately to France.

Is Not Party Issue

Il had assumed that the Senate
would concur in the amendment
because no disputable principle is
involved, but only question Of.
the method by which the suffrage
is to be extended to women. There
is and can be no party issue in
volved in it. Both Of our great
national parties are pledged, ex-
plicitly pledged, to equality of suf-
frage for the women of the coun-
try. Neither party, therefore, it
seems to me, can justify hesita-
ton as to the method of obtain
ing it, can rightfully hesitate to
substitute Federal initiative for
state initiative, if the early adop-
tion Of this measure is necessary
to the successful prosecution of
the war. and if the method of state
action proposed in the party plat
forms of 1916 is impracticablc,
within any reasonable length Of
time, if practicable at ali. And its
adoption is, in my Judgment,
clearly necessary to the successful
prosecution Of the war and the
successful realization of the OBJ
jeets for which the war is being
fought.
THAT judgment take the lib
erty Of urging upon you with
solemn earnest for reasons which
