HARK! LUCY DORAINE OUTVAMPS OUR THEDA BARA
EngIhs

Page Theda Bara-The Queen of the
Vamps.
She is in grave danger Of losing her
crown as the Queen OF the Vamps be-
cause a new Queen has started revo-
luton.
The cause of the excitement is Lucy
Doraine, known to me only as a CONT
mental actress, who is a Franco -Slav
beauty. l received my first view of her
yesterday while witnessing "Good and
Evil"
When it comes to the vamping bust
ness this European makes Theda Bara
look like a Juvenile. How that woman
can vamp. She mas eyes that remind
one OF the late Anna Held, and, like
the late Anna, Lucy cannot make her
eyes behave.
In Good and Evil" Lucy Doraine
plays four vamping roles-The Duchess
Vera Ormande, a Geisha girl who is an
Oriental vampire, the Marchioness of
Roche and also as Eminah, described as
a daughter of the Orient The interest
ing thing about all of the work of
Lucy Doraine is that each character ere
sted is complete Observation-Disclosures
is, her little Geisha girl does not re
semble the temperamental Duchess Vera
Ormonde.
This movie is a European made film
and is released in this country by the
F. B. Warren Corporation The picture
reminds one of Experience" and "Ev-
erywoman," and when it comes to being
extravagant, Cecil De Mile, our most
extravagant producer, has nothing on
the man who produced this Doraine
movie. Some of the scenes are so spec
tacular that the cast at times reminds
one of several armies
The central figure is Pierre <Danton a
worthless chap who accepts money and
social position from a woman We Amer
leans are not accustomed to having our
heroes painted in such rosey tints but
the hero Of this movie is a complete no.
account. He steps from that class dur
ing a dream after he looses his money
at Monte Carlo. He has a Dream In which
Fate turns the pages of the Book of Life
Here We meet Passion, True Love, In
trigue, Temptation and all of the gang
which tempts Youth or tries TO save him.
This part Of the movie resembles the
American production Of Experience" Of
course, the dream stirs the real man that
slumbers in the breast of the hero and
he becomes a real man-that is he makes
his own money.
Lucy Doraine is q fascinating beauty

This can be said-that Kirkwood has

this movie. His big purpose IS to battle
the spectator and he succeeds. IT is no
easy matter to battle an audience but
Kirkwood succeeds.
Kirkwood has the services Of large
and well directed cast. Ann Forrest
makes a pretty picture at all times dur
ing the unfolding Of this story.
This movie is different from all other

HOOSIER ROADS
EXCELLENT FOR
EMERGENCY USE
State Highway Head Tells
How Freight May Move by
Motor Truck.

Indiana roads were never In better con-
dition for emergency use such as will be
neoessitated by railroad strike, accord
ing to Lawrence Lyons, director Of the
State highway commission There are
fewer than twenty-five detours on ap-
proximately $500 miles in the State high
way system Of roads. q condition not
equaled in any State where extensive
highway development is in progress, &C
cording to Mr.. Lyons.
Mr.. Lyons pointed out that with FIVE
hundred highway department motor
trucks available at once, and estimating
the average haul would be six miles. these
trucks could handle 5000 tons Of freight
each day. In other words the average
capacity per truck is three tons, giving
the 800 cars ]. 800 tons capacity. Esti-
mating each truck would travel thirty
miles per day, this fleet for emergency
relief represents a means of moving A.. 600
tons Of freight one mile each day. Ton
mage handled would naturally be leSsened
as mileage increased.
A survey Of the market highways Of
Indiana discloses that trunk lines into
indianapolis connect with all sections Of
this State and without exception are in
splendid condition, according to Mr.
Lyons.
On the National road between Indian
apOlls and Terre Haute there are two de-
tours On the same road east of this
city there are three @etours and those
around bridges. The Range Line road
is open between this city and South Bend
Nth one dstour near KokoIno. The road
from here to Columbus, Seymour and
Louisville has a bridge detour near Sey-
mour Between Indianapolis, Lebanon
and Chicago there are no detours in In
diana, while on the Michigan road, Indi-
annapolis to Madison via Shelbyville.
Greensburg and Versailles. there IS one
short detOuF in Ripley County. rho
indianapolis to BroOkvilIe road leading
to Ohio is in fine condition, as Likewise
is the Indianapolis to Martinsville high
way. In fact. Indiana now has eight
main market highways In excellent
shape to meet any unusual traffic de-
mand that may arise, highway officials
say.
According to highway officials. it is
difficult to estimate the number of motor
trucks in this State available in case of
a railroad blockade
1.-THE excellence of Indiana highways
has created a peculiar situation in that
there are many individuals engaged in
the trucking business, and there is not
q day passes but we receive inquiries
from owners wishing hauling contracts"
Mr.. Lyons said. Il believe that many
hundreds of trucks are available for
emergency freight upon
short notice providing conditions de-
mand such action. / am positive that
our State highways are in condition to
care for this potential heavy traffic"

as did years ago In Terre Haute The
audience last night responded with tears
and applause-just as the Terre Haute
audience did.
This movie is one of the few which
can be revived-meaning by that, to be

1.-THE Birth Of Nation" is Just as i'm
portant in film history as is the present
revival of "Erminie" to the stage "The
Birth of a Nation" was the first American
made movie which really indicated what
American producers and actors could do
along movie entertainment lines.
There are many reasons why this
Griffith movie lives and prospers after
all these years. In the first place, the
Griffith touch is better displayed here
than in any Of his recent movies he
had history, great war, the beloved
Lincoln, good romance, suffering, death
and love as his themes. The Civil War
is rich in historical events and with
these events as his background Griffith
has placed a romantic story. This story
causes one to cry and even to shout dur
ing the battle scenes.
do not know If you are interested in
what | like best about this movie, but
am going to tell you. Maybe you will
agree. 1t is this-when Mae Marsh as
flora trims her cheap dress with cotton
from the fields in order to make herself
look pretty and happy when her brother.
Col Ben Cameron, returned from war.
This Is u very minor incident to the
movie, but the expressive face of Mae
Marsh is marvelously used in those
scenes.
1t Is to be remembered that Henry
Walthall is cast as Col Ben Cameron /;
Miriam Cooper is Margaret Cameron /;
Josephine Crowell is Mrs. Cameron T;
Spottiswoode Aiken is DR. Cameron (;
Lillian Gish is Elsie Stoneman; Robert
Harron is Tod Stoneman Wallace Reid
is JEFF. the blacksmith, and many others
whom you viii recall.
This picture when 1t was first produced
started many players on the road to
success. Some have fallen by the way
side and others are nearing the top of
the ladder Of fame

Nation" your education is not COM
