Remarkable Success Achieved by
"The Old Homestead"

When Denman Thompson wrote
THE Old Homestead forty years ago,
he little dreamed of the prodigious
success it would achieve. The famous
play held the stage continuously for
more than thirty years and more than
twenty millions of Americans saw it
at one time or another.
This famous play has been pictur-
lied and it will be shown at the Isis
theatre today only. 1t is an admirable
photoplay and one that will live long
in the memory of all who see it.
The Old Homestead is a rich
and therefore decentralization OF
good old-fashioned rural comedy and
the deepest pathos. Opening in the
peaceful farm country far from the
glare and blare of Broadway, the story
takes the innocent son from his happy
abode and filings him into the mael-
storm of New York's life Here he falls
victim to the lure of the new exis-
tence and nearly breaks the heart
of his grieving family
But his simple old father, putting
all his trust and faith in the po-Ycr
of good for evil, goes to the city in
search of his son, confident that he
will be guided to him by a higher in
telligence. The pathos and dramatic
force of the scenes which follow arr
founded upon the most effective OF
all appeals-heart interest.
Frank Lossee, who is well known all
over the United States for his mar
velous character acting, plays Josh
Wlaitcornb, the role made memorable
by Denman Thompson. Others in the
cast include Creighton Hale. Denman
EIoley, Louise Huff and Mrs. Corbett

ESPIONAGE LAW SUSTAINED

Ea refusing to review tour cs-SeS of conviction under the espionage Set the supreme court of the Uih- ted States in effect sustaines the ronstitutionality of the law, which has been attacked, at least in so far as 1t effects persons whose Use of supposed freedom Of speech or publication had the motive of pre- venting enHstments in the United States army or in promoting reSls@ snce to the draft. The opinion by Justice Holmes says:
 'When g nation Is at war many things that might be said in time of peace are such hindranoe to it's effort that their utterance will not bs endured So long as men hght' and no court could regard them as perfected by any constitutional right"
 Ths first amandment to the Fed eraI constitution, one of the "bill Of rights" series, on. which the party Of Thomas Jefferson insisted, de clares that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment or religion of prohibiting the free ex erclse thereof, or abridgiug the free dom of speech Or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably 70 assemble and to petition the gov ernment for 8 redress of grievances. The supreme court has already re puGiated the notion that conscienti- ous religious objectOrs to military against the draft.
