MARCEL PROVOST.

MANY eminent Frenchmen of let
tiers are fighting on the battle front
or serving their country in other
capacities but perhaps the most emf
nent of the literary warriors is Marcel
Provost, the poet-noovelist. M. Pre-
vost is now in his seth year, is cap
tain of artillery, attached to the
forces guarding Paris. He is one of
the 40 "immorta1s'' of the French
Academy, having achieved that honor
in 1909, when he was elected to take
the place vacated by Victorian Sar-
dou, the dramatist
M. Provost was educated in the
Jesuit schools in Bordeaux and Paris
and in the seminary at Orleans, and
in 1882 he took course in engineer
ing at the Ecole Polytechnique. For
several years he was employed as
civil engineer in the republics to-
bacco factories. He made his literary
debut a quarter of a century ago.
when he published Confession dun
Amant." This was soon followed by
LES Demi- Vierges,'" which was the
literary sensation of Paris, and was
produced as a drama at the Gymnase.
Many other works of M. Provost have
been dramatised, and they have been
translated into many languages,
having a very wide circulation in
English. Besides M. Provost, the
French Academy has several other
military members, including Henri
Bernstein, the dramatist, who is a
gunner at Fort Havre; the Marquis
Robert de Flers, Reynaldo Hahn, who
is a private. or was, at last reports,
serving in the Argonne. Etienne Rey
Francois de Tessan, Marcel Boulen-'
ger, and a number of other French
writers of wide fame, are among
Frances fighting men.

In reality it is Fashion Week as usual be-
cause everything must go on as usual. The
fact that the country is at war and most of the
men in government service abroad or at home
does not mean that business should slacker in
the least. Rather should every one strive to
make it better than last year. America is al
ways in the lead and American women prac-
tice war time economy by buying the best
goods.
Attractions this week are many.

HAUBER THEATRE,

Madge Evans and George Mac Quarrie are co-starred in the striking new World-picture Brady-made. Gates of Gladness," which today will be shown at the HaubeY theatre.
 In this picture Madge takes the role of Beth Leeds, little girl whose father is painter who is unable to dispose of enough paintings to meet the needs of his family So, when the occasion presents itself Beths father turns burglar and he is not above using Beth for the purpose of entering the home which he has de- termined to rob.
 The situation presented when Beth's father enters the home is sur prising, to say the least. and the whole picture is a surprising, pleas ing production. Gates of Gladness" is more than ordinarily notable for the beauty of it's photography and the general excellence of the story. Some of the scenes were taken on one of the biggest estates near Kew York, this estate being the property Of q famous millionaire who was glad to cooperate in the making Of the pie ture by giving the use of his estate for these scenes.
 You sure will enjoy Gates of Clad ness" See it.

BEST THEATRE.

Alfred Whitman is a star of action whose best work has been done in the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Releases, "The Divorcee," "Sunlight's Last Raid," and "When Men are Tempted.' Standing six feet one, and an expert horseman and swimmer, there is no hazard he will not take to add realism to a pie ture, and he is one of the most popu- lar actors in Hollywood's screen colony.
 MT. Whitman came to photoplay after brief career on the speaking stage and following his studies in the Lewis Institute, in Chicago, which is his home city, his advance to leads was rapid. He is seen in one of his best roles in "The Wild Strain," the Blue Ribbon Feature, which will be seen in the Best theatre today.
 In this picture adapted from the book. "The English Great Granc Parent" by George Randolph Cheste, and Lillian Chester, the leading fem mine role is taken by Nell Shipman who is the society girl controlled al times by the spirit of an ancestor whe was brigand. Others in the cast ar, Otto Lederar, Mrs. Ruth Handforth Mrs. Buskirk, and Ed Alexander.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

According to Webster's, "that which gradually and silently eats, consumes and wastes anything" is a moth and the same authority in illustration of this definition declares "idle persons are a moth to the community;" whence the title "The Moth" the new Selz- nick-Picture starring Norma Tal- madge which comes to the Orpheo theatre today and tomorrow In this case "the moth" is young society woman who wastes her time seeking diversion and flirting with fate until sharply brought to her senses by a dramatic incident calculated to thrill the most blase of movie fans.
 1.-The Moth" tells the story of a young girl of wealth and social pd- sition who determines to emulate the example of Cleopatra and "flirt her way to immortality"
 Aside from the mere story telling powers of "The Moth" it presents an interesting study of young girls right to happiness. It is a role whic provides exceptional opportunities fol Miss Talmadge's histronic ability, ant made under the expert direction of Edward Jose "The Moth" promises tC be even bigger triumph since plac ing herself under the business man, agement of Joseph M. Schenck.

The Horrors of War

Those who have not experienced the horrors of war only know of it's ter TOTS by "hear-say,' but even then it's bad enough.
 But terrible as death on the battle field may be, it has no more terrors than some other things, a life of grinding, pinching poverty, for in stance. Death amidst the roar and crash of battle is frightful, but death is at least mercifully the end. But to live and struggle on from day to day in poverty, possibly under load of debt, but little hope, just struggling along wearing the life away by inches, that takes courage and is enough to try the stoutest heart. The way to avoid this is by systematic saving. Our bank will do it's best to save you from a fate worse than the horrors of war.

Many of these were wounded, but viz

and all their good clothing.
The whole region for mites is cut
up by shell holes, and even the Bushes
had been mown down by the gun fire.
