HMMORTALNES ABE LINCOLN
 ON SCREEN

''The Highest Law.'' a Ralph Ince special production, made by Selznick. will be shown at the leading motion picture theatres throughout the coun- try during Lincoln week. The basic structure of the story is founded on incidents of the life of Abraham Lin coin, and it serves to reveal the dy- manic personality and sterling heart of the great Emancipator. The Ince production, however, is declared to stand entirely on it's merits as a strong dramatic screen offering.
 Mir. Ince's famous aracterization of Lincoln is presented with a de- gree of artistry that is calculated to bring the highest comnendation, and while the figure of the great Eman- .cipator holds the center of the screen, a cast of uniform excellence shares and holds an equal amount of atten- tion with the director-star.
 Prominent members of the sup porting cast include Bobby Agnew, Margaret Seddon, Aleen Burr and Cecil Crawford. The story was writ ten and picturized by Lewis Allen Browne

WHILE NEW YORK SLEEPS" (Written by Member of The Times
 Staff.)

 Staff.)
 The title of this picture is intended to bring the crowd in. The picture is distinctly a novelty. It is a collection of unrelated episodes. The work is done by the same actors. who give q performance of merit.
 The episodes rise to the stature of real drama, although the first one is a little out of the run of life
 A happily married woman is sud- denly visited by a former husband whom slfe had supposed was dead. The game of blackmail is interrupted by a burglar who kills the returned husband. Tho wife says "I killed a Burglar The blackmai is dead, and the actual burglar escapes:
 The second episode pictures the old fashioned badger game, in which, however, the badgers. the wicked q swindlers, are taken by the police, tho man in the case being merely a member of the detective force.
 The third episode is the more pow erful. The author borrowed the idea apparently from Lime House Nights There is the aged paralytic, his son inc sons wife and the gangSter. Al the end of the chapter, the son, the wife and the ganster are dead. The old father lives, the nemesis of the tale.
 These bald, outlines represent most appealing and powerful thoug1 grucsome production, more whole some than some plays that have beer produced.
 It is not the presenta ton of evi that is wrong, but the presentation o evil so as to make it attractive. No body will desire to depart from tn staigh sand narrow way, because o any lesson taught by While Nev York Sleeps" The picture will drav large audiences.

FRANCES VICTORY.

No more enthusiastic reception nor hearty appreciation was ever shown Maclyn Arbucl>le, the original in the title role of Daddy Dumplins," than was accorded Arthur Griffin of the Poli Players, in his interpretation of the character at the Lyric theater last night.
