TN ENGLAND, where class and

rose from two to four hours earlier

ID. W. GRIFFITHS LATEST
SENS ALTON HERE SOON

1
! The newest United Artists produc
tion of the eminent screen master, d.
w, Griffith, is to be shown at the
| Palace $.theater beginning. tomorrow,
for two days.
! The master screen craftsman, Dav-
id Wark Griffith, producer of the
screens greatest sensations, creator
of the most advanced innovations in
motion picture productions, finder
and developer of the worlds greatest
screen stars, has produced another
wonderful production, "The Love
Flower" which is being heralded ev-
erywhere as a creation Of exquisite
beauty, haunting charm and spirited
drama. United Artists Corporation
recently announced its release and the
first showing of this newest Griffith
production in this community will be
at the Palace theater tomorrow.
Words of the most superlative de-
gree and descriptions of the most
laudatory nature have not been found
to express in adequate terms this
wonderful picture play of love and
adventure such as cnly a Griffith,
master, may reveal in all it's beauty,
strength and excitement. Critics have
pronounced it one of the most re-
markable productions chat has ever
come from this master hand and fans
everywhere have rtyeiel in its beauty
and excitement am reralded it as a
production comparable only with the
most wonderful that mas come to the
screen in the past few years.
It's theme, primarily, is of unusual
interest, interviewer with side lights
CT intricate complications that add
materially to its action, its heart in
terest, its suspense and its ultimate
justification, for it is an unusually
dramatic story of the wonderful love
of daughter for her heart broken
father, who, being bounded to the
very end Of the world, dares to plan
the undoing of the man who is desir-
Gus of bringing ultimate disgrace
upon the very light Of his heart and
@oUl and unhapgiaess to her every
thought.
T The development Of this theme Mr..
Griffith has handled in most mas
teri y manneh. His players, headed by
Richard Dempster, are par-excellent
in this production. The settings are
exquisite wonders of superior beauty
and interior perfection. The whole is
creation of Griffith perfection. II
IS proving to be an achievement OF
splendid merit everywhere and has
gathered for Mr. Griffith untold
praises, adding more laurels to the
many achievements he has accomp-
lished during the past ten wears.

GIVEN BY WIZARD
sfBy Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 8. - Dr..
Charles A. Steinmetz, electrical "wiz-
ard Of Sehnectady," believes it will be
Illegal to build a fire in the limits of
the cities sof the future, which will be
smokeless and dustless. He made
this prediction at a dinner of the
Bala-Cynwyd Neighborhood Club in
this city. He painted a word picture
of present-day city in the ethroes of
an Electricity strike" and showed
row city deepnds on electricity in
transportation and manufacturing.
But" said Mr.. Steinmetz, cal
though we are absolutely dependent
on GU relectricity today, we have still
only begun to use it. In the city pres
ent methods of manufacture will be
replaced with electrical methods. The
present city with its dust and smoke
will be unknown. 1t will be against
the law to have fire in the city linn
its. Life then will be worth living
