Elaine hammerstein In
The Woman Game"

Among the growing list OF photo
play hits credited to the beautiful and
charming Elaine Hammerstsin, IL lie
probable that few OF such successes
havs embodied the thoughtful dra-
matte qualities TO be found In The
Woman Game" the celluloid sdapta-
ton OF a story by Frank Darcy and
leighton Osmun. which opened 4
weeks run at Loew's Palace Theater
yesterday afternoon.
THE Woman Game" draws Its In
spiration from the idea that woman
in pursuing her business In life
matrimony-is entitled to use what
ever weapons come handy. just as a
man, in pursuing a successful business
career, is accorded the same privilege
by society at large. The story, In It's
development, attains a climax that Is
thoroughly romantic and at no time
does II relax its tone OF progressive
story telling.
Miss Hammerstetin Is most capably
supported by q cast that includes
Jere Austin, Ida Darling and others
and the direction by william p. s.
Earle is quite noteworthy for Its
skill and accuracy.

$4,000 TO Be EMPLOYED
AT CRAPHOPHONE PLANT
Columbia Company Is Erecting Big
Plant at Orangeville-200
Engineers Busy On Plans.

BALTIMORE, April 26.-George c..
Smith, secretary of the industrial
board of trade, has announced that
the Columbia Graphophone Company
will employ $4,000 men and women in
its Orangeville plant when 1t is COM
pleted.
T. c. Roberts, general superintend-
ent of the Columbia Company's plant
at Bridgeport, Conn, was in Balti-
more recently and outlined to J. Carey
Martien just what an enormous scope
the company had planned. Mr.. Rob-
erts told Mr.. Martien that the COM
pany has already engaged 200 engi-
neers alone To work on the plans, and
that when the plant is completed by
the unit program OF construction the
complete graphophone could be turn
ed out here.
The program for further expansion
of the plant has not been made public,
but according to what was learned
from Mr.. Roberts visit dry kilns for
conversion OF raw materials, shops for
making mechanical devices, needles
and other essentials will be erected
on a schedule of a unit at a time, each
unit drawing further upon the enor-
nous army of employees who will
eventually make up the force.
The first unit OF the big plant at
Orangeville Is well under way. The
frame and forms for concrete con
struction work are up and almost
ready for application or the concrete.
The home plant in Bridgeport,
Conn, employs only 5000 persons.
This would indicate that the company
intends to make the Orangevillc plant
its largest enterprise.

Taut situations, picturesque en-

q few OF the elements of most Inn
mediate appeal In the pretentionus
picturixation of "The Sporting

this camera version OF the famous

brings to the screen the most nnish-
ed impersonation she has contributed
to silent drama.

where are practiced all of the
Eentlemanly pastimes Of the real
aristocracy, and the concluding incl

roundings that it is impossible for
the screen to reflect are woven u

that are visualized by the stellar cast
with extraordinary skill.

to life and repkove her dead husband,
Zachariah Blake, for allowing her to
leave him in the spirit land, Mrs. Blake
again was pronounced dead last night,
according to announcement Of her ply

Many of the mediums close friends
declared they did not believe the re-
port. "She will come bac:.,: :hey said.
But after lapse of twenty-four hours
there is no sign of returning conscious

in state of coma She afterward told
friends she had been with her husband
and eleven children, all dead, and talked
of the beautiful spirit world"
Last Wednesday she again was pro-
nounced dead. There was no sign of
pulse beat. Preparations for the
funeral were begun, and newspapers
were provided with an obituary. But
