cars rush by there at high speed.
Serious and near-serious acct
dents occur there frequently. I

bad spot" says OLD CAPITOL

going round that circle try to
skin close to the sidewalk and

This morning after waiting thirty
five minutes for a chance to board a
street car, in lexington, the con-
ductor held the car ten or fifteen
minutes on one corner while he
wrangled with a passenger over q
nickel, which had already been col
lected, causing the people who were
due at their offices at nine o'clock
to be ten or fifteen minutes late, or
later. This is a very common occur
renee, especially on the Maryland
lines, and the people have about ar
rived at the limit Of their patience.
Is this the kind of service we are
going to continue to receive for the
increased rate Of fares?

Prince, Locked Out
By Toronto Hosts,
Enjoys the Joke
Officials Much Embarrassed
When Royal Visitor Inad-

Il is perhaps the first time in his life
that the future King had been locked
out" OF anything, and members Of the
official party we're at considerable dis
comfort, but the prince seemed thor
:oughly to enjoy she experience and
laughed heartily when attendants Of
cited efforts to keep the huge crowd
from entering they had forgotten to
request his royal highness to use one
Of the inconspicuous side entrances,
which had been left unlocked.
The day was planned originally to
be quiet one for the prince, but so
many things not OF the programme
were crowded in that il ended as one
OF the most active he has passed since
beginning his official visit.
The first event, which consumed
most Of the forenoon, was series Of
visits to military and chlldren's hospi-
tails, where the Prince laughed and
talked with the little sufferers, and
produced shilling after shilling to pur-
chase toys for them. After luncheon
the degree was conferred, the Prince
replying to several addresses.
Following the ceremony, the Prince
attended another social and dance at
the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, given
by officers OF the garrison OF Toronto.
The women invited were for the most
part sisters Of young officers whom the
Prince had met in France and who had
been killed in action or died Of wounds.

Americans are stopping at all the big
hotels. az we'll az smaller houses that
cater particularly to their trade. Mo
roccans. Japanese and visitors Of other
nationalities that rarely come here are

visitors register from Paris or Lon
don.
The families Of returning soldiers
occupy many rooms. Most Of them,
coming from the South or West, stay
long enough to see Now York thorough

are also focking to New York now, &C

On the Screen
Houdini Shows. How Easy 1t IL
to DO Hard Things and Make
Good Photo Play

Tho Grim Came" at tho Broadway
Theatre, Is entirely different from .ny
picture we have seen, and 1t seems to
US smashing success In svery sense
Of the word.
Our only criticism Is that tho story
Is coo long In getting started. We
wanted less preparation and moro
houdini, and after the picture was
finished We felt still moro strongly
that lot Of time had been wasted in
she first two reels. The last three are
crammed full of miraculous escapes.
aeropane flights and disappearing
heroes.
All Of tho things which Houdini does
(they are not tricks) are done in plain
sight Of the camera, 80 that II YOU
cannot do them too 1t 10 not because
you do not know how they are done.
The story Is by Arthur B. Reeve and
John w. Gray. 1t tells Of a miser.
Thomas Jefferson, who lives alone in
beautiful old home with his niece.
Her fiance Is Harry Hanford, a re-
porter. This is Houdini. The owner
Cameron. who holds his notes. A
Richard Raver, lawyer, is also in debt
and has forged his clients name to
secure money. This part is cleverly
played by Tully Marshall DR.. tyson.
VINO completes the triumvirate, would
benefit by old Cameron's death. be-
cause his will states that the doctor
must marry his niece and inherit his
money.
Hanford arranges a bet concerning
clrcumstantial evidence, which, II his
employer wins, will bring him money
enough to redeem the notes held by
Cameron.
The old miser is to be spirited away
and he himself is to be the suspect.
only the plan goes astray, for some one
really does murder the old man, and
the three men who have been in the
game with Hanford all claim that they
know nothing about it, and refuse to
clear him.
AS all three of them would benefit
by Cameron's death the story resolves
Itself into one of those mystery mur-
der plays.
Houdini makes speech at the end Of
the picture in which he tells of the
aeroplane collision, which is shown so
plainly in the pictures. The ending
was to have been quite different,
but when the propellers on two planes
lnterlock, and the planes are sent
whirling around in the air 1000 feet
above the earth and the camera catches
it we do not wonder that they decide
to keep It in the picture.
The plane in which Houdini is chas-
ing his enemy is directly over the other
plane. He let's himself down by a rope,
and it was the intention of the scenario
writer to have him climb in the enemy
plane and take the wheel, but the other
way was much more exciting, only, of
course, no one would voluntarily take
such 8 risk.
Houdini's speech is dignifed and eff
fective. He makes no attempt to be
facetious, but merely tells of the dan
Mlllat directed the picture, and Sisked
his life to photograph some Of the
scenes. H. Z.
