Anna Howard Shaw-An Appre.

StotiOH
To The Editor Of Evening Public Led1er:
Sir-The passing on of this luminous
braln and remarkable personality must
give us all courage to press forward
with our various dreams to victory.
Only ten days ago she sent me the
message that 1.-THE greatest thing in the
world VIC now have to work for is the
league of nations to enforce peace.
so to all who admire the works of
this remarkable woman she has left
legacy of more work to do.
. 1t was my good fortune to hear the
Rev. Anna Shaw at the wonderful
suffrage meeting at Marble House. New
port, when she spoke from the same
platform with Julia Ward Howe and
Mrs. Belmont.
| also heard her speak at recent
meeting in Independence Square. when
she got off the witty story that the
reason the old bell was cracked was
because it told lie.
In the lettering on the rim it says
proclaim liberty to all the inhabitants
of the land, whereas it proclaimed lib
erty to only oneh half of the inhabitants
of the land-the men. Now Miss Shaw,
with her life work, has healed this de-
feet in the life of our people and has
also left us a legacy to work for the
healing of the wounds of war between
all nations. DAVID II. WRIGHT.

Large attendance at the 100 or more

This is the thirteenth session Of the

their work in~the crowded tenement dis

work of this character and each year

recreation and patriotic exercises. This
will be repeated daily.
The schools are not divided as to the
age Of the children, but each school re-
ceives children of all ages and finds
work for every one according to his or
her age. Basket, toy and furniture
making are among the popular forms of
manual work. This phase of the work
has always proved of the biggest inter
est to the children who find n positive
fascination in making thing with
their own hands.

The Soma Of the BIimp

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger
The ocean is deep and the ocean is wide.
Not too wide for the R-34.
How thrilling the tale of its wonder
full ride.
Thro' cloud and thro' gale, and thro'
fog see her glide;
She bored thro' the blue. till our shores
she deserted,
And anchored all safe on our shore.
All hail to her crew, who with courage
sublime,
Has added new aims to our race,
Is it true that mans will, with the an
gels combine?
Did some. unseen power force mans
will power to shine,
Made the pathway secure? Then the
glory be thine
Still upward, the pathway we trace.
Another step nearer in ,brotherhood's
plan;
Linked firmly in war and in peace;
Wen aim for pure justice with honor
unstaincd.
Still upward the trend, till great
heights be attained.
Well travel together till victOrys
gained.
With amity still to increase.

When the Triangle studios were at
their height few years ago there was
a girl who enacted the vampire roles
with more dramatic feeling than has
been evidenced by some others who try
to play such parts. That girl was
Louise Glaum. and big things were pre-
dicted for her. Somehow, something
must have been amiss with her stars for
she has made few pictures, but those in
which she has appeared were excellent
This one, for instance. is a good OK
ample of her work.
Allan Dwan. who is now producer
in his own right. is responsible for the
supervision of this movie. which gives
him plenty of opportunity to show abil-
ity to bring out artistic qualities. An
other player little seen on the screen is
Matt Moore. brother of Owen. His is
the chief male role.
G. Gardner Sullivan has prepared a
scenario from the authors story which
tells of an actress who seeks only the
admiration of men. She goes to the
Sahara desert with her husband. Tired
Of this she leaves him in company with

does not meet her family until years
later. when she finds them begging.
Edwin Stevens is the man who lures

ARCADIA-"Girls." with Marguerite Clark
Story from the play by Clyde Fitch, di-
rected by Walter Edwards. Paramount
play.
The rapidity with which movie
makers are presenting stage plays on
the screen shows that there must be a
lack of original material for scripts.
There could hardly have been q better
choice of plots to suit the temperature
than the selection of this for hot
weather, in which no one cares to use
thinking powers unless absolutely
necessary.
If three girls decide in the opening
reel of the story that they will have
nothing to do with men and then be-
fore the motivation has gone on many
feet man suddenly appears upon the
scene it is a foregonc fact that he will
marry one of the girls. He does and
breaks up all of their theoretical rcso :
lutionS not to marry. OF course. the
other girls, too, become entanglcd in
the meshes of the matrimonial net.
Marguerite Clark is little too
strenuous in her Interpretation of her
role. The other girls, enacted by
Helene Chadwick and Mary Warren.
are good Harrison Ford is the hand =

sTANLEY-"The white Heather with spe.
cial caet. Written by Cecil Raleigh and
play.
This movie misses fire in everything
except the beautiful photography and
artistic lightings. The special inter-
polated undersea scenes made by the
Williamson process are good to look at,
but not particularly thrilling. 1t is re-
grettable that Tourneur should select
and make n Spectacle" production of
this kind for which he is really not
equipped. His efforts should be con-
fined to the better things of the screen.
Aside from the pictorial beauty. the
story loses interest. There is lack of
suspense in its action. A noblcman
denies secret marriage with the daugh-
ter of a fellow member of a stock ex-
change. The father of the girl seeks
to have the marriage recognized by the
man, but is ruined because of the suit
which he brings to right the wrong. An
effort is made to secure the log of a
boat which has sunk. and it is here
that the under water fight takes place.
The record of the marriage is in the
book.
III. f. Herbert is the villainous noble
man, while the wife is portrayed by
Mabel Ballin. Little Ben Alexander
is the boy, and adds sympathetic
touch to the scenes. Ralph Graves and
Jack Gilbert ara the lovers of the
girl who right the wrong finally and
Spottiswood Aitken IS her father.
Tom Moore. Story by Basil King directed
by Harry Beaumont Goldwyn play.
The appeal of this picture immc =
diately wins spectators. because it is
not only timely. but is human also in
its endeavor to portray the life of a
man who lost his position in society
because of drink. There is no preach
ment, nor is there propaganda. but just
straightforward tale of the recovery
of sclf-respect through the aid of a
club called "the City of Comrades. -
founded by three former down and
cutters.
baSll Nlng, the author, and now q
member of the Eminent Authors Films
has provided good scenario from his
like named novel. The director has
done good work in having his action
confined to the telling of the story.
and the players have been selected with
regard to ability to convey the purport
of the story.
Tom Moore is fine as the lad who
comes back. There are touches OF
pathos at times in his showing of the
drink sodden boy. Seena Owen is the
girl, and Otto Hoffman, Alec B. Fran
els, Albert Roscoe and Kate Lester are
in the support.
