THE CAST.

IT1I vindicates itself on the screen, as S = it does on the stage, in litera- ture, in statesmanship, and in war, is apparent every time the great Nazimova. appears in new pcture-or on the stage in new Ibsen play.
 The burning torch of the greatly gifted cannot be hidden and the candle or mediocrity glow dimly, sputters, and then goes out, when placed beside it. and all this is brought forclbly to mind again regarding Nazmova, as one sits under the spell of her rare art and personality ns the screen version of Henri Kiste- maecher's, "LOccident" produced under the title of "An Eye for an Eye"
 I thought when I saw Nazimova in her last picture "Out of the Fog" that she had certainly reached the heights of emotionalism-of personality-of finished art, but her acting in "An Eye for an Eye" is overwhelming in the breadth and sweep of it's emotionalism, and yet it is IS finely shaded, as subtle. and as deli cately wrought in detail, as if coldly con ceived and played for the purpose of perfection in technique.
 It is this combination of emotional power. and technical Virtuosity which make Nazimova unique, supreme, really great.

Take q nice long rest IL possible. or
il not possible. take railroad train
ride and see the country.
One may philosophers while sitting
at the window Of the Pullman looking
at nature and keeping his eye on his
handbag.
Just back from a restful trip to
New York we feel like telling some
thing of the beauties Of that place,
and the long strip of land. dotted here
and there. and thither. with rivers of
more or less depth and beauty.
How grand 1t is looking out of
ones Pullman at the beautiful green
grass. and the beautiful green trees,
and the beautiful green dells and
green hills, and green ct ceteras!
All nature seems green.
We noticed that the corn on one
side of the track grows higher and
greener than one the other side. and
wondered how this was thus. The
porter said that corn always growed
Ereener on the sunny sise OF the
track. He must have been right.
While the train was going at the
rate of speed credited to an aeroplane.
so The great fact suddenly dawned
upon our fertile mind that all this talk
about green hills is nosh.
There In nothing to 1t. There amt
no green hills. The hills. on both sides
Of the train are brown and yellow and
gray. They are filled with cay and
dirt. and if anybody ever saw piece
Of lreen clay or dirt he must have
been ineibing in something like
Green River.
It's the covering Of the hills that
makes them green. Just Hike the pea

a mean temperament And Just like
some fellows all Of you know who go
about clothed in some of George
Rady's velvet and purple. They ain I

pants that shrunk above his high
waters. and who takes the world for

can always expect TO get your FIVE

mirdcdnees.
After we landed in the Pennsylvania
station at Seventh avenue and the
street that runs east and west. a boy
grabbed our hand bag with such force
that we felt he might break Its con-

where the Marlboro hotel was and
we could pay him what we thought
the effort was worth.

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN
(His Trip to the Metropolis.)

tngton, Baltimore ana other Northern
points on the way to the great white
way, We did not need the services OF
the ambitious youth.
Upon emerging from the station the
first man we saw was a soldier with a
drawn bayonet. Upon investigation
we soon learned from policeman
that the city had been attacked by
a mob of bull shevikers, and the
soldiers were out to protect innocent
travellers like us.
Guests in the Pennsylvania hotel
across the street, crowded around
each other and trembled visibly. but
we were not the least bit frightened.
for we had grown brave and fearless
in our long career OF carrying around
a permit to tote a pistol presented
us by that dear old Judge Richard
son. We always found that the re-
cipe for carrying pistol was safer
than the pistol itself, and as a conse-
quence we have never give or re-
ceived no pistol wounds.
So we passed the soldier. and pro-
ceeded toward Child's dining EN-
porium. for the sandwich which we
bad started out with had been con-
summed as we sat in the Pullman be-

OHIO BOOZE SELLERS TIT
LID DESPITE WARNINGS

The lid has been tilted in Ohio the
past week. This is accounted for by
the fact that the bootleggcrs and
speakeasy keepers. many of whom are
former saloonkeepers. are beginning
to realize that Ohio is without ade-
quate enforcement laws.
In the opinion Of the attorney-gen-
eral, all liquor enforcement measures
in force at the time the prohibition
amendment became effective were au-
tomatically repealed. The state iegis-
latur refused to pass an emergency
clause to the enforcement law design
ed to enforce the constitutional
amendment. and consequently that
law IL held up. The legislature Is
still in session. and the drys are still
active In behalf Of the emergency
measure. The liquor interests are
working against 1t for the purpose OF
delaying operation Of prohibition.
The emergency clause would prevent
the measure being held up for ref
erundum.
