ADJUSTMENTS
TARTAN OF APES"
 |S AT HIP TODAY

At the Hip this morning there opens Tor a four days run a picturization of Edgar Rice Burroughs "Tarzan of the Apes, one of the most fascin- atinS characters of fiction.
 The story of this white boy stolen in infancy by a gorilla and raised to manhood in the jungles with no sight of his kin until he is a giant killer of beasts of the forest is vivid ly impressed on the minds of the thousands of people who have enjoyed the tale of this man-ape who lived in Burroughs books.
 The makers of the film selected Elmo Lincoln the giant blacksmith who was one of the hits of The Kaiser to play the part of Tarzan and he has created, the film critics say Q piece of artistry in his in- depreciation of the character that has no parallel in pictures.
 To play this half wild. tree man. who goes through the jungle tangles in close attendance on his ape brothers who have been his play mates from the day he was stolen by the gorilla mother from his dying father, is no easy task That he rivals the feats of the gorilla is best told in the chase which he gives to the giant negro who has abducted the white girl. The negro with his beautiful burden, travels with the swiftness of panther over the jungle carpet and Tarzan. watchful as a stalking lion slips through the trees over the negroes head until the opportunity comes to drop to the ground, when battle such as pie lures have never known takes place between this giant white and the equally husky black.
 ''Tarzan of the Apes is running now over every state in the union starting this week and has just con- pleted an advance run of 10 weeks in New York city.
 The picture was filmed with the aid of 1000 blacks from the Brazilian ports, huge nude silent men of the jungle. Many wild beasts were killed to lend atmosphere to the story.

Never in the history of Bridge port has a greater farce comedy sue cess been presented than was Some Baby" which was given by the Po1f Players for the first time. at the Lyric theatre last night. Every line and every situation brought shouts of laughter from the audience, yet no tiresome hackneyed speeches were made. Everything new, the farce comedy scored an unprecedented suc- cess, and every theatre goer in the city should see it. Grant Erwin, comedian of the company, as Doctor Josiah Smythe, the professor, was too funny for words, his cratic actions and his able handling of the impos- sible situations were the hit of the evening.
 Walter Marshall. always a favor ite, was side breaking in his inter pretation of the role of the love-lorn old general.

THE cHRIsT,tAs OF 1918.

The Christmas celebration of 1918 will not be quite the ordinary one of cheerful but sometimes superficial merriment. There are many, many homes where there will be an empty chair for the boy who lies under the soil in France In millions of oth- CTS, the boy is separated by thous- ands of miles of distance. The broken circle can not have quite the unbroken joy of ordinary days.
 But it is a Christmas that should run very deep into our lives. It will seem more like the first Christmas of all Then as now war had been ruling the earth. Defiant, arrogant tyrants sat on their thrones, ano made cruel war. The Christ was looked to as the one who should bring peace. No other blessing was so much desired.
 | So for the past years we have longed for peace with the deepest i yearning of the heart. Now it has come, and the Christ spirit has trl- ! umphed over the forces of wrong. Its i silent influence has proved more pow l erful than the worst engines of war the malice of man could produce. Ii l has overthrown the greatest system of military force the world ever 1 created.
 It has nerved men to fight on until wrong and injustice were pulled down from their high seats of power and humbIed in the dust. So let us gather about our firesides with { deep thankfu1ness that the longing' of our hearts have been fulfilled.
 Let us not forget the homes tha are empty and broken, whether b! the losses of war or by pestilence. Le no one be lonely or hungry on thi blessed day. We must make it { time of joy for the children, so tha they shall remember it as the great est of the year. So let our Christ mas be one of love and generosity the open house, the reunion of fam flies, the hand of welcome, and re lief to the friendless and destitute.
