 larger than last week. The crowds that
 thronged the Strand yesterday were in
 dicative of a desire of hundreds to see
 this photoplay masterpiece called the pie
 ture with soul.
 There are in this film play two ele-
 ments with a tremendous human appeal elements of exceeding importance in the
 psychology oe crowds whether they are crowds in the pit of a theatre or at political meeting or in a church The f1rst of these elements is the ever present pos- sibility of redemption Half of the charm of the story of Jesus lies in his power to subdue the wicked and correct the erring with smile word of gen. tie admoniton. It was this spiritual power that made of the last hour of the thief on the cross his happiest. To DOT tray each spiritual power on the S9reen' to make a show of it, as it were, requires taste ana art and accurate appraising or the human soul and especially of the | soul of the crowd It may be said right here that trading constantly on the DOT derland, which divides the rediculous | from the sublime the director of The Miracle Man." has not made singie | false step Today and tomorrow should mark the high water mark for attend | ance at the Strand.

ADMITS ORGANIZED
 MOVEMENT AGAINST U. s. INTERVENTION
Propaganda Being Sent Out to Quiet Any Demand for
 Intervention in South ern Republic
.ssld ps,s!sossv As

Washingt ton, September S.-Evidence of an organized propaganda movement in the United States calculated to counteract any hearing today of the Senate foreign relations subcommittee charged with investigating the Mexican situation.
 pr. Samuel Guy Innan, an officer in the League of Free Nations associa- ton and former neighbor in Mexico ,of President Carranza, admitted under sharp cross examination, that his as- sociation had sent out literature aimed to quiet any demand for intervention by the United States in the southern republic. Dr. Inman told the committee that American oil companies were ex-
 pending large sums of money in an attempt to obtain intervention, but under examination said he re- gently had been told that the oil in terests were opposed to intervention Dr. Inman in opening his testimony told the committee that in his opinion President Carranza was a man of honor and integrity and that he had a strong faith in the ability of Mexico to work out it's own problems if given friendly assistance by the United States. He
 deprecated intervention adding that il

NEW BILL PLEASES
 LYRIC PATRONS

Johnny Small and the Small Sisters
 opened the Lew bill at the Lyric yester-
 day matinee, and while the name does
 not belle their stature, it certainly does
 their ability. For be it known they are
 distinctly clever and their little offering Puppy Love- deserves a better place
 on the bill. This act is one of the best
 dancing hits in vaudeville and the trio
 work hard to keep their act up-to-the-
 minute.
 Somewhere in France" the sensational
 war skit which is the headline attraction
 at the Lyric is what it's name implies, a trench scene depicting life at the front. It is jocular scene between Canadian. a Highlander, an Irishman and Cock ney in an advanced observation post, and was written by John Barclay two years before the United States entered the war The act consists of gQod-natured rail lery among themselves punctuated by
 the singing of songs dear to the hearts of the bows who served in the trenches. while the scenic effects are strikingiy realistic.
 The act went over big yesterday and IS destined to be one of the most popular acts the Lyric has shown in long while The Heavy Trio, acrobatlc turn proved an act of more than passing merit and received much applause. | Cooper & Ricardo are billed as the ec- centric comedians, and have an act thai 1 not only goes over big with the audience but is distinctly worth while. l Murray and Bennett in their songs ana witty sayings help to round out bill ol l five vaudeville acts that make up th' best show the Lyric has offered this sea isou. and as usual the news pictures art 1 up-to-date.

LITTLE PACKERS

 Washington, September S-Independent packers of the country can protect them selves from the "big five" packing com panies without the aid of the Kenyon and kendrick bills, the senate agriculture committee was told today by John j.. Telin, representing the dndependent con cerns of Philadelphia.
 We are able to care for ourselves, said Felin.
 Leave use alone. We've had our trou- bles during the last two years with the license system and we don't want any mere of it'
 Felin denied the statement of Federal Trade Commission Cv1ver before the committee that the smaller packers eX- isted "at sufferance' of the larger con cerns.
 This is radical. vicious. class legisla- tion," Felin continued It will put us under the domination of bureau employees It will hurt us smaller fellows because no bank is likely to take the paper or concerns whose doors are likely to be closed any minute at the whim of lndl- vidual officials"
 Dr. J. NJ. Wilson, president of the Wy oming Wool Growers association. another Witness, was almost as severe in his strlc- lures of the trade commission

LOVE INSURANCE"
 AT THE COLONIAL

Bryant Washburn, in Love Insu- ance," at the above named theatre, is giving us what is no doubt the bright est, most 1aughable of the present film attractions.
 A comedian of we'll known ability,
 MT. Washburn has in this vehicle a
 role suited to his many and varied &C., complishments, and Miss Lois Wilson, as his support, leaves nothing to be desired.
 For tomorrow and Thursday "The Heart of Youth,' starring Lila Lee, will be offered. This is a delightful | story of youthful worries, perplexities
 and budding love. Farming people are
 annoyed by city folks who come to
 water on the Whipple property. Jose phine Whipple is young and romantic
 ditto the son of the rich folks. The
 squabble of their elders involves the children on both sides, and this is in 1 tensified by jealousy of a city girl | who is in love with the rich mans l son.

THE PAGAN GOD"
 AT THE RIALTO

The bill this week at this popular playhouse is "The Pagan God" starring
 the famous London and Broadway star,
 H. B. Warner. is an intense drama of
 the far east with a Mongolian revolu-
 tion as basis of the plot. The picture
 was made by Jesse D. Hampton under
 the direction of Park Frame from the
 story by F. McGrew Willis, and is .
 Robertson-Cole production.
 The exotic oriental settings with its
 intrigue and mystery, provide vivid background that has strong appeal visuallys and dramatically. The China man is always a riddle to the occi- dental. His ways are devious and his smile, though often "pensive and child like" as remarked by Bret Harte, is full of hidden meanings, all of which make him man of mystery.
 Bruce Winthrop, the young Ameri- can diplomat, went into Mongolia on still hunt for the leaders of the revolution, and had to bear the stigma of renegade to accomplish his mis- l sion. He played the Chink's own game 1 and beat him to it. but if it hadn't 1 been for the little Pagan God" which | the absent minded curio collector had picked up in an antique shop, his bones would probably have reposed in some 1 Chinese dungeon.
 1 Warner gives masterly portrayal 1 of the American secret service diplo-
 mat, his acting being characterized by l fine restraint and dramatic poise

 Hunter. Chick and Hunter, harmony singers, are also headliners and came in for good share of applause. They have excellent voices and inject con siderable comedy in their act. They scored big.
 Jack Howard and Wit Jenkins offer comedy skit which was well re- ceived. They present a characteriza- tion of life in the lower strata of New York Norman and Jeanette have novel offering, introducing comedy talk and feats of skill on the flying rings. Morton brothers open the bill with a unique act, introducing paper tearing and harmonica selections. The
 act is very accepta ble.
 l The news pictures are very interest-
 1 ing and the comedy reels highly di-
 verting. All in all the programme $
 very pleasing and affords an evening

MRS. CHARLIE CHAPLIN
 AT THE ALCAZAR

Mrs. Charlie Chaplin, in For bidden' ' 8 photoplay which expresses much
 of the eternal feminine, is the attrac-
 tion at the above named theatre. It has been given a charming pres entation by Lois Weber and Phillips
 Smalley, and while not as dramatic as some of their previous productions, it possesses a great deal of human appeal. Mildred Harris appears in the lead ing role, that of a country girl pos
 sessed with a desire to go to the city. A young man of good breeding and
 fine looks drifts into the small town and the girl is enchanted and fasci-
 mated with his appearance and man
 ners. Alove affair results, and they are soon married. Then it is that the young husband learns that his bride
 has a longing for city life, while he
 has come to the country for the ex-
 press purpose of forgetting some of the crushing sorrows the city has inflicted on his soul
 The theme is played upon in a thor
 oughly natural way the bride tear
 fully signing for the bright lights until the husband finally relents and takes
 her to them. He tries to disillusion
 her in vain, and there is a grim hunlor in the way in which she yearns for the
 things which have come to disgust him. Her runaway venture in China town has been admirably pictured and
 there is little surprise at the close, when the identity of the mysterious Frenchman is disclosed.
 The star of this photoplay is one of the most popular in all filmland and Lois Weber has put over some excel lent subjects, but aside from this fact, viewing Forbidden" from the angle of superb photography elaborate set | tings and dainty boudoir accessories, the picture reaches the high water mark of excellence.
