At the conclusion Of the Congrega-
tional and First Baptist prayer meet
ings which were held jointly at the
First Church Thursday evening, the
members Of the First Church held a
meeting and conference relative to
the feasibility Of decorating perman-
emily with the Congregational Soci-
ETY. and a committee was appointed
to confer with the committee from the
Congregational Church as follows:
George X. Thomson, George Tobey,
Louis E. Dow, Charles Allen and Ger
aid c. Marble. The committee ap-
pointed from the Congregational
church to confer is Willis Porter.
Thomas G. Lord, DR.. Stanley NJ. Cow
er. f. E. Greenwood and Rev. c. H.
Mckinney. The outcome of this con-
ference will be awaited with consid-
cradle interest by the townspeople as
we'll as the members of the two par
ishes concerned. 1t is Understood
that the plan Is to retain both DR..
Tracy, the First Church minister, and
Rev. c. H. Mckinney. the Congre-
gational pastor, should the churches
federate. The services would be
held however in the Congregational
Church, as that is nearer the central
part Of the village. The First Bap-
fist Church, which is one Of the most
attractive church edifices in town,
because of it's ancient style of archi-
lecture and interior arrangements.
would doubtless be used for a COM
munity house and would be a great
addition to the social life Of Show
hogan. The proposition Will doubt
less be met with disfavor by some Of
the parishioners who will feel that
The Congregational society is the
oldest in town. the present church
edifice being the third in its history.
The first Congregational church was
built near the old training field and
old cemetery some distance below the
village. That building was taken
down and the material was used to
build q house which ia still standing
on West Front street, just around the
corner from Main street. The secOnd
church was built on the site Of the
present home Of Mrs. Charles A.
Marston and was succeeded by the
present house of worship. The First
Baptist Church ia the oldest house
of worship in town at the present
time.

On the Screen
WaIthall Revives Lone Wolf
in a Fascinating Meloelrama,
With Plenty of Action

The Lone Wolf" appears again in 8
story called The False Faces" by
Louis Joseph Vance, which is being
shown in picture form at the Rivoli
this week
Henry B. Walthall is the star, and
the picture itself is the sort which
press notices always refer to as a
uper-production'
This term has been applied so often
that it has come to mean no more
than "difcrent' or Wonderful" But
one may at least say that it is a super
fine production. which it truly is
After It was finished we just Won
dered how Thomas Ince ever had done
it, not because we mistrust Mr.. Ince' s
ability. but because it seems such a
huge undertaking. No pains have been
spared TO make the picture perfect in
detail and nothing is left to the imagi-
na ation
1t is terribly complicated and in
volved, but gradually the threads are
untangled and are woven into the pat
tern until the story is complete.
The picture opens in "No Mans
Land and you have no idea what you
arc going to see or what connection
il may have with the story. You only
know that the scenes are fasc cinating
and the photography is AZ beautiful as
you ever have looked a.. And then,
out OF the shell-torn earth, crawls
"The Lone Wolf" with message from
the enemy lines
Walthal does some rcscarkable work
il these scenes, and We like him so
much better as battle SCARED ennis
sary tEan as merely a conventional
lovey, which he becomes later in the
play.
We cannot attempt TO tell anything
of the plot after this. for "The Lone
" olf'' is sent to America, and the ship
on which he sails is tillesl with Ger
man agents and he is drown over
board and is brought UP by U-boat 56,
and he meets Cecelia Brooks, also ON
q diplomatic mission. And just when
you think that things aye beginning

"The False Faces" is ore Of the best
war melodramas we ever saw There
are some people in it who are new to
Aircraft audiences. Mary Anderson
is the heroine. She seems, somehow,
suddenly to have grown up. The last
time we saw her she was play ing little
girl parts with Vitagraph. The villain
is Lon Chaney, who has been seen for
years with Universal. He is excellent
as Eckstrom, the Hun.
The picture was directed by Irwin
V. Willatt and is the pet production
Of Thomas Ince.

"a dramatic action,' an induction. and
a prologue, translated into French by
VI. Copeau and by Pierre de Lanux.
The last segment was La Fontaine's
comedy, LA Coupe Enchantec' (The
EN.chanted Cup, 230 years old. and

Copeau's portrayal of General
Washington as a breathing human be-
ing, instead Of legendary figure. was
not highly successful performance,
judged by the effect on the frst-night
audience, although it showed signs of
having been carefully conceived. The
tense drama of Washngton's winter at
Valley Forge had terrific struggle to
survive the effects Of a Lafayette
played like an efYervescent boy, a
negro servant speaking French with
a southern accent, and tent Of velvet
OF marvellous hues.
Chateau Thiery was not shown on
the stage, but was conjurod up by
three characters before the curtain in
the induction. Robert p Saert, as the
tragic Mask, Marcel Milet as the
Comic Mask and Louis Jouvet as the
J heatre gave endid performances.

GARNER" IS set down for a special
performance in the afternoon at the
broadway establishment and in the
evening at tho East Side house in tenn
porary rivalry With it.
Last night "Crispino G la Comare"
was performed by Mr.. Campanini's
company under his direction, and
brought more or less into iuxtaposi-
tion with the representations which
have been given by Mr.. Gatti's forces.
Slngularly enough, perhaps, the gossip
OF the lobby seemed more occupied
with the relative merits of Signori
Scott and Trevisan than with the
rivalry of Nine. Hempel and Signora
Cali Curci
There is no urgent reason why the
peace of the city should be disturbed
by a comparative study of the singing
OF the two ladies in the part of Annctta.
Signora Galli-Curci sang delightfully."-
and acted the part charmingly in the
conventional manner. AS for the rest
it was a study of contrasts rather than
Of comparisons. Had the Italian CON
tingent usually found behind the brass
rails at the Metropolitan been present
there would no doubt have been louder
expression of approval for the amusing
parlando effects of Signor Trevisan
than was the case; for in the first act,
when the cobbler was only a cobbler,
the buffo acquitted himself Of a capital
piece of chaTacter acting But there
seemed to lie too few people in the
house who understood italian to insure
much enthusiasm.
There was also something repressive
instead Of stimulating in the ponderous
performance of Signor Arimondo as the
apothecary Mirabolano, and the fact
that Signor Stracciari prime favorite
with the audiences hitherto was un-
pathetically cast as Fabrizio pre-
vented him from making his customary
hit.
The music, too, often moved with
leaden feet, and the opera was un-
consconably dragged out. William
Rogerson, an American singer, made
his debut as the Count del Fiore The
love episode Of the young people being
omitted in accordance with established
tradition, he was essential only in some
of the concerted music. Nevcrthe less,
he was permitted to sing his pretty air
in the first act, though it had nolperti-
nence to the story as presented. He
sang it with considerable taste and dis
closed voice in which there seems to
be nice possibilities. il. +. X.
