Strand Has Big Bill

An unusual and quaint FORM Oh
plotting is one of the more intensely
interesting features of Marshall Nell
ans first independent production,
THE Rivers End" from the story by
James Oliver Curwood and distrib-
uted by First National. which Will
have its initial show ing here at the
Strand Theatre today.
The introductory scenes of the film
find John Keith, haunted for years
by the murder of Judge Kirkstone,
captured by Derwent Commission OF
the Canadian Police. A striking re-
semblance between the two men In
build and facial characteristics leads
the officer, when suddenly stricken
with a fatal disease, to urge Keith
to i~mpersenate him and return to
the Post with an account of Keith's
death.
Shan Tung, a crafty lChinaman al
the Post, alone suspects Keith of the
imper5onation and threatens to di-
vulge the secret unless Keith infu-
ences Miriam Kirkstone. the murdered
mans daughter, to marry him. A
terrific mob-flght follows in which the
| Chinaman is killed.
A younger sister of the dead Officer

makes a clean breast of the affair,
departs and journeys down the Sas-

Ditmas Attraction.

The two famous characters OF
"TFi.by'' and "Svengali' have again
come to life and this time on the
lscreen. Two of the most famous stars
of the stage and screen are seen in
the stellar role of this drama which is
to be shown at the Ditmas theatre be-
ginning Monday. Clara Kimball Young
has the role OF the model, and Wilton
ILackaye, the original creator of the
role of "S~vengali." again takes this
part.
"Trilby'' is one of the most famous
novels ever written and 1t not only
scored a success when written but was
the sensation Of the London stage for
many seasons Thousands have read
the story which was written by George
.Du Maurier, and in the screen version
of the story they will see some of the
best dramatic work of the year. Miss
Young has many screen trfumphs TO
her credit, but in ''Trilby" she scores
tho greatest success of her career.
Many scenes of the famous artists
quarters of Paris are faithfully repro
duced in screen version of the story
and the supporting cast which includes
such well-known players as Chester
Barnett and Paul McAllister, do much
to make this screen drama n OF the
sensations of the year.

Feature at Ditmas

Maurice Tourneur. one of the fore
most directors OF motion pictures,
was In charge OF the production of
the screen version of the famous
George Du Maurier novel. 'Trilby."
This Republic feature is to be given
its first local showing at the Ditmas
theatre today and Clara Kimball
Young is in the leading role. Sup
porting her are such w~ell-known
players OF the stage as Wilton Lack
aye and Chester Barnett.
No expense was spared in this pro-
ductfon and the film version far sur
passes any attempt of the stage to
tell this wonderful story. Every
character is portrayed with the ut
most fidelity and Miss Young in the
role of the artists model, "Trilby,'
and later the singer, scores the great
est triumph of her career. Wilton
Lackaye, the original creator of the
role of 'sSvengali." not only hypno-
tizes 'Trilby." but the audience as
well in his excellent portrayal Of the
famous character.

PUBLIC UTILITIES TRIAL
TO Be CONTINUED TOMORROW
BIZ special Correspondent.

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TRENTON. May 24:-Tomorrow
morning the trial of the Public Utility
Commissioners goes on again before
Governor Edwards. Jersey City,
through George L. Record, special
counsel for the municipality. has not
completed the presentation of its side
and ii is expected that there Will be a
further airing of the eighteen charges
made by the municipality when the
governor reopens the case tomorrow
morning.
To date Mr.. Record has covered
only about the first ten points In the
bill Of complaint filed by Jersey City
against Messrs. Slocum. Wright, Gaul
and Knight. So that the prospects of
l.. Edward Hermann, counsel for
the utility commissioners. presenting
any OF the phases of the boards de-
tense tomorrow are not bright. unless
there is a change In the procedure.
In addition to Mr.. Hermann, Josiah
Stryker is personal counsel for Com
m~issioners Slocum and Gaul, former
Judge william 1. Lewis for Commits
sioner Wright, and V. G. Palmer rep
resents Harry l.. Knight.
Indeed II the same tactics as char
acterized the two and a half days OF
hearing already had here before the
governor in this case are employed
tomorrow and on subsequent occa-
sions. it may require another week
before the defense puts In its argu-
ment. Every step taken by Record
for the city of Jersey City was fought
by MIR. Hermann and his associates
and with about half the charges yet
to be elaborated upon by Mr.. Record.
Il may take considerable time yet be-
fore Mr.. Edwards will have all the
facts and evidence.
