II is the movie" version of the play
which was seen in New York. Monte NJ
katterjohn Is responsible for the scena-
rio, and he has done his work well.
Lewis s. Stone is introduced to the
screen, and his work Is excellent. He Is
cast as a German secret service man,
who later turns out to be--well, 1t is
best to see this play from the start be-
cause of the novel twist given the plot.
There il a fine role for Marguerite Clay

Thomas H. Ince supervised this play. so
1t is difficult to tell how much credit
belongs to Fred Nibo. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that recourse had to be made
to some scenes which were poorly in
serted. Miss Bennett appears as the wife
of German spy who tries to make her
a partner to his crimes, but without sue
cess. She conveniently gets rid of him
and meets the hero of the story There
are many novel twists throughout, but
the direction saves the story from be-
coming stupid. Jack Holt is the hero
and Robert McKim the husband. while
Charles K French is n German spy.
Maude George is excellent as a Hawaiian
girl and Lydia Knott Is effective as the
Eero's mother.

and directed by Raul A. Walsh. special
cast Fox play.
This is a wartime film, which seems
to have been put together in somewhat
of hurry, for It lacks the usual care
and details which have heretofore been
part of the good qualities Of produc-
ton bearing the name of r. A. Walsh
as director. Many of the scenes are
characteristic of this directors style Of
work, but the injection of so many
senes which are to be found in the regu-
lar topical revues is to be regretted.
But the audience liked the film. and 1t
should meet with further approval be-
cause it exposes the German prepara-
tions for war and spy activities. Cap
tain Won der Goltz Is credited with hav-
ing supplied the facts for the story. He
also plays in 1t.
An unusual cast interprets the many
roles Those most familiar are Miriam
Cooper, Patrick O'Mally. Sidney Mason,
Walter n. Lawrence. Ralph Faulkner
has the role of President Wilson, John
T.. Franklin that of James w. Gerard
and Walter McEwan that of Won Bern

Viola Dana Story by Myrtle Reed and
directed by John Collins. Metro play.
Readers of the novels by Myrtle Reed
will not be disappointed with the screen
version of THE Flower Of the Dusk, "
for John Collins has not only seen to the
direction, but he arranged the script
from the book. 1t is pathetic tale. The
play is somewhat of novelty because
1t comes at a time when other producers
are trying to give audiences light enter
tainment.
Viola Dana Is appealing as the little
heroine who tries to bring cheerfulness
into the lives of those with whom she
comes in contact. In the role of her

acter of a blind man. The aunt Is Il

This is the first appearance Of

iist or her successes. The story Is
vivid tale of love and mystery, proyid-
ing the star with an opportunity to
wear modern clothes but she does not
LOOK as well in them as she did when
playing in costume pieces
Reginald Barker has given as fine a
touch to his direction of this play as
has been seen on the screen for many
weeks. The audience is kept interested
up to the very end, when the mystery of
the accidental shooting of woman is
cleared up. The staging is an artistic
delight and attempts have been made to
give some of the subdued lghtings
which Goldwyn early made famous
Violet Heming is excellent as the chief
feminine support, while in Herbert Raw

vealed a thorough understanding of the
roles entrusted to them. Percy Mar

In making plans to shoot migratory
waterfowl hunters viii do well to note
the dates of open seasons under both
Federal and state laws. This caution
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture results from evidence OF
confusion in the minds Of some sports
men In regard to the opening of the
season when the dates conflict under
State and Federal laws.
Tho Federal law and regulations
limit the seasons before and after
which no one may shoot these BIRDS.
II a State law opens the eason later
or closes II earlier than the dates pre-
scribed by the Federal regulation. the
season in that state Is just so mucn
further shortened. Special attention
Is called to the fact that the Federal
regulations do not authorize anyone to
hunt or kill migratory birds contrary
to the State law.
In certain States, as for example,
Illinois. Indiana, Iowa. Kansas. Ken
lucky, Missouri and South Dakota.
the season for shooting migratory
waterfowl under the State law would
open prior TO the date of opening I'M
der the Federal regulations were IL

ulations supersede State laws in such
case of conflict.

ratio now prevailing among the men
OF the American Expeditionary Force.
Figures compiled by the physical de-
partment of the American Y. M. C.. A.
show some things about sports that
would satisfy the most enthusiastic
booster of intramural athletics. as
opposed to the vicarious kind. In
which few play and many watch.
Tho report of a weeks activities in
one of the eight regions into which
France is divided by the Y. NJ. c. A.
for administrative purposes gives
some interesting statistics. This re-
gion Is not by any e the largest
nor most populous of the eight. but Z
may be taken as a fair specimen IN
the week covered by this report. IT,
0S2 soldiers took part in some form OF
sports n 1895 watched the others
play. Volley ball. a game that Is rap
idly growing in popularity among the
Yanks, attracted the most players, s.
676. This is a sport that a consider
able number OF men can enjoy at the
same time n one that requires little
equipment.
Baseball, the season for which is
now on the wane in France, claimed
1854. Indoor baseball was third with
1854 players. In the matter of draw
ing crowds, baseball was easily first,
81 1905 roofing for the various teams.
Boxing was second in this respect,
with 1910 men holding ~"ringside'
seats.
The list of sports included in the
program Is a long one. In addition
10 those mentioned, the Y. NJ. G.. A.
promoted in this region basketball.
intercollegiate football. soccer, quoits.
tennis, which by the way, had 1891
players; track and field games, gym
n~astics. swimming. medicine ball and
cricket.
Not only is the number Of soldiers
participating in sports constantly in
creasing. bu the proportion content
to sit or the side lines and watch, Is
growing less from week to week.
Eventually IL is possible hat the only
athletic non-combatants will be men
who have finished their turns on the
playing field or are waiting to begin.
The figures given are conservative,
as regional directors in making out
their athletic reports have been in
structed to avoid any exaggeration.
Undoubtedly the numbers OF both
players and spectators were somewhat
larger than have been listed.
