which was shown for the first time In
motion pictures by Il. NJ. Newman In
the third of his series of lectures last
evening at the Academy of Music. The
difficulty IN reaching this wonderful nat

that only few white men have visited
this pictorial place in the twelve years
since it's discovery.

SCENIC EXCESS BAD
FOR THEATRICAL ART
George Arliss Favors SIM
plicity of Production and
Shorter Runs for Plays

George Arliss believes that entirely
too much money Is spent by managers
for theatrical productions. MIR. Arliss
says that just about one-third of what
In nowadays expended would be suf-
ficlent to pay for the scenery. furniture
and properties" Of a production.
While Mr.. ArlIss failed 10 say
whether he advocates stone walls that
culver when an electric fan blows, or
houses that threaten to collapse when
door slams, he did say that the pres
ent craze for solid scenery is ridiculous.
we are too extravagant in our stage
settings and have entirely too much
needlessly expensive scenery and cloth
Ing. Our managers are competing with
one another at a breakneck clip that
can result only In disaster They spend
unlimited money for their productions
and as consequence, when they get a
success, they play 1t as long as they
possibly can. Sometimes piece will go
on the road for five years Just because
II Is n financial success and the man
ager needs the profits no that he can
Keep putting on other expensive shows
at the same rate as his competitors,
This is bad for the actors who are COM
PEELED to play the same roles to excess,
and 1t is bad for the drama because II
ties up good actors with ono play and
limits the number OF plays that are
produced.
Il am in favor OF simplicity Of pro-
duction. II the cost was less then the
managers would produce more. and II
would not bo necessary TO tie up one
company of actors for several years just
because their play Is success. The
public does not demand expensive pro-
ductions and is quite as well satisfied
with modest settings II only the art is
up to the standard and the play Is enter

Mr.. Arllss was moved 10 make these
observations after declaring that 1t was
"a terrible thing" for him to have had
to perform his last great success,

Home Folks Laud
Heroes of Cambria

A celebration in honor Of the engi-
neers who dropped picks and shovels,
seized rifles and fought with the Brit
ish at Cambrai was held yesterday at
the Engineering Societies Building by
the Association Of the 11th Engineers
U. S. A. 1t was just year ago the
contingent sailed overseas.
Only one of the gallant band who
made that famous stand on the West
front was at the celebration. He is
Sergeant Frank Lebar, home on in
valid leave. Lebar was more badly
scared by the assemblage than by the
German army, and took a seat on the
platform only after he had been prom
ised that no speech would be asked of
him.
The fighting spirit of the 11th En-
gineers was brought to the gathe ring
in a poem from Master Engineer Will
lam Y. V. Stephens, convalescing in a
base hospital in France. The poem
ends:
Carrying on with smiling face
Is half the battle won,
And We'll carry on by the grace of God
Against all the imps of hell,
And the place where the og-faced Hun
broke through
viii be where our last man fell
The Rev. William T. Manning, of
Trinity, praising the gallantry of the
engineers said:
"The act at Cambrai will distinguish
your regiment forever. The name
should be inscribed on the regimental
flag. But whether it is or not, wher-

Says Appeal for
Free Milk Fund
Steps to Relieve Situation
Taken by Mayors Com
mittee of Women.

Parents in the poorer districts of
the city are forced to give their
babies tea, coffee and in some cases
beer, because of the prohibitive prices
now charged for milk. This was stated
as fact in an appeal made yesterday
to the public by the fuel committee of
the Mayors Committee of Women on
National Defence for funds to provide
for free milk distribution. The appeal
follows;
"SAVE OUR OWN"
Upon rigid investigation the ap-
palllng situation shows that 21 per
cent of the population of children
between the ages of two and six
years in greater New York are under
fed. The cost Of foodstuffs has in
creased over 100 per cent, and it has
been discovered that many children
have been given tea. coffee. beer.

A protest meeting against the So

The cart men, who vend wares of

Houston, Grand and other Ghetto
streets, have not been molested in
several years. But week ago there
came an inexplicable order for them
to move. The order was followed by
the appearance of police details, some
on horseback, who herded the carts
out of their chosen places and forced
them to suspend business.
Political Aim Seen
Speakers at yesterdays meeting de-
clared there is political significance
in the sudden attack upon the peddlers.

who was responsible. The Citizens

pointed committee to appeal to Mayor
Hylan, and mass meeting will be
held later in the week at Cooper Union.
IF the administration is back OF
the order it is a very unfortunate
move" said an official Of the Bank of
the United States. "The push cart
men mostly are old and incapacitated
for other work. Not few are Grip
