Playing PoZlyarma's Game

Probably if you're just an ordinary
man or an ordinary woman and you
should suddenly slip on an icy side
walk and seriously bruise yourself,
spilling three or four packages in
three or four different directions and
attracting the jocose attention of the
innocent bystanders you would hardly
be in the mood to feel glad about it.
And yet when you come to think about
it, getting all worked up about the eX-
perienCe wouldn't do you the least bit
of good and trying to find something
TO be glad about-glad that you hadn't
broken your leg, for instance-might
put you in q decidedly better frame
of mind In which to meet the family
at dinner.
Well, that's the philosophy of life
at the National Theater. this week

O'Brien, Perfect LoUer

ParadoXicaI as it may sound, talent
on the stage is often a handicap.
Frequently actors Of genuine stellar
ability have been denied stardom be
cause there have appeared upon the
boards no leading men blessed with
such dramatic gifts as might fit them
to succeed TO important parts oppO-

late John Mason's career offers a per-

No picture in recent years has
aroused more genuine, spontaneous
enthusiasm during and after its
showings to the audiences OF the
country, than George Loane
fuckers production of The Miracle
Man" a Paramount-Artcraft picture
showing at Moore's Garden The

have hailed it as a screen master
piece and one of the really great
motion pictures of modern times.
However. 1t took 1900 convicts to

WAR DRIVES TWO
BROTHERS SANE

ALLENTOWN. Pa, March 11.-Al-
most unbelievable. dramatic. and
thrilling are the war records OF the
Salmon brothers, Andrew and Fran
els, Of this city. The pair escaped at
the outbreak OF the war from the
State Homeopathic Insane Hospital
at Ritterville, Pa, and enlisted in
the army and navy branches Of serV-
ice, respectively. The ordeal OF fire
that both underwent completely
purged their minds Of any defects,
and they are as sane and sound to-
day as any man in Allentown.
According to the story told by their
mother Mrs. Mary Salmon, the elder
boy, Francis. made a glorious record
with the Rainbow division. He was
twice gassed and thrice wounded, and
has just been invalided home. Be-
sides, young Salmon is the proud
posssssor of the Croix de Guerre
Francis created quite a sensation
the other day when he stopped one
Of the RitterVille physicians on the
street and explained, displaying at
the same time his war record and
honors, that he was not as mentally
weak" as they were apt to believe in
the days OF yore. The physician, aft
er listening to several thriIlers from
''Ho Mans Land" readily agreed with
his former patient
The other brother, Andrew, enlist
ed in the navy, and, as a member of
the crew Of the United States de-
stroyer Shaw, went through the har-
rowing experience when that vessel,
as a convoy, was rammed and cut in
half by the British liner Aquitania,
a troopship. He also has returned

'1t has come TO the knowledge OF

Siding land for military camps On his

Statements have been freely made
that he charged cents . head per
day for each man and II cents q head
Per day for each horse located at the
camps on his estate, and, therefore.
that he has made Q considerable pfodt
out Of the war.
at is possible that these statements
have been cArelessly made, and with
out taking the trouble to verify the
facts. on the assumption that the Gov
cfnment allowances tincluding billet
ing money. etc.) paid in some cases
have been paid to his grace; but II is
more probable that these reports have
been circulated WiIIfully In order to
prejudice the Duke Of Portland and
other large land owners in the eyes
CT the public, who are ignorant OF the
facts.
I'VE are, therefore. instructed &c
make It publicly known that there IL
not one word OF truth In such state

"At the commencement Of the war
the Duke Of Portland voluntarily Of
fered Weibeck Park, or any other por-
tion Of his Nottinghanlshire estate to

referred to can be traced to any per-
