of the East Side Is told, rather bet

ual. The plot, however is construct
ed too much in the manner of Sc
rial, in that the incidents follow in
regular ordet and without particular
reference to each other. Each of
them is quite dramatic in itself but
there is not great deal of suspense
at any time.
Carlyle Blackwell and Evelyn
Greeley head the cast as Kid Kelley
and Flo Haines. The former is a
member of a young band Of crooks,
the latter poor girl who works in a
"flower factory" by day and assists
at Bowery mission at night. Joseph
Smiley is cast as Carelli, owner of
the flower factory, and foe of inno-
cent young beauty. Muriel ostriche
has the role of Annie, a beautiful
girl whom Carelli victimizes and who
afterwards kills him in a fit of jeal.

Elkas have other parts.
The story is one that will interest
lovers of melodrama, though the lack
of suspense keeps it from taking first
rank as such. The views Of the fac
tory where artificial flowers are made
will also have wide appeal among
persons interested in slum conditions
This gives some accurate views OF

WHEN AVIATION WAS NEW
Benjamin Franklin Evidently Had
Expectations of Its Value, Though
Venturina No Predictions.

Somebody has been quite naturally
reminded, by events in the air, Of
what Benjamin Franklin said to Con
dorcet about aeronautics 1876 years
ago, in Paris. The French capital
was just then much interested in the
balloon ascensions of the Montgoltier
brothers, perhaps even more excited,
on the smaller scale of the times.
than modern cities over the actual
crossing of the Atlantic, and wher-
ever men came together the future
possibilities of ballooning made an
immediate topic of conversation. Con
dorcet, meeting Franklin, asked him
if he thought an aeronaut would ever
be able to steer his balloon. 1.-The
thing is in it's infancy" said Frank
lin. 1T is necessary to wait" But
what is the good Of it?' demanded q
doubling Thomas. what useful pur
pose will it serve" Gentlemen re-
piled Franklin, ut Is a child JUS
born; let us wait to judge it until its
education is completed" And ever
now the education is far from in
