War Department Theater at Camp
Travis InstaIls New Device.

A new electrical device just in
stalled on the motion picture machine
in the Liberty Theater at Fort Sam
Houston enables the army motion pic
ture service to screen its films with ap-
proximately one-fifth of the electricity
heretofore required. The new device
is an incandescent lamp equipment de-
signed especially for the projectors in
the army theaters, and in addition to
saving four-fifths of the electricity Or
dinarily required, the installation OF
the apparatus at the Liberty Theater
has eliminated the necessity of $1,000
worth Of equipment that would have
had to be replaced this winter. The
apparatus eliminates the necessity of
carbon. illumination in the protector
and operates with either direct or
alternating current. thereby eliminat-
ing the necessity for a generator.
The new incandescent lamp equip
ment was invented in the governments
own laboratories at Washington, and
was largely designed by Roger NJ.
Hill, theater equipment en- ineer of the
army motion picture service. Mr.. Hill
has been in San Antonio for several
days and has supervised the installa-
tion of the new apparatus at the Fort
Sam Houston theater. The same ap-
paratus is to be installed in all the
army theaters.

Tiny Theater May Revolutionize Stage
and Woman May Get Credit for Change
BY MARIAN HALE

New York, Sept. 15.-Alnost every
person of note who comes to New
York finds his way eventually into the
Triangle theater. And that is because
in this tiniest of playhouses, seating
barely hundred persons and tucked
away in a cellar on the outskirts O.;
Greenwich Village, woman is carry
ing ON a lone-handed series Of expert
ments which may revolutionize Ameri-
can stage tactfs.
Lights are the medium with which
Kathleen Kirkwood works. The aver
age woman of good looks and talent
prefers TO be out upon the stage where
there is an audience to see. Kathleen
kirkwood is content TO sit huddled
away in q dark corner of her little
theater and play upon an unpoe :ic-
looking switchboard.
A beggar is moaning on street
corner. He cries out hands are
choking him. And suddenly huge
shadowy hands do seem to come out
of the air and clutch at his throat.
The audience gets tremendous
thrill. But it means only that away
in her dark corner Miss Kirkwood
passed her hands before strong
projecting lantern.
Gelatine "Day"
A gnarled old apple tree stands
in the background. Over it passes
the whole course of day-the deep
blue of early morning, the high light
of noon, the flaming reds of sunset
But the gnarled old apple tree is
merely a few lines painted upon q
lantern slide. The reds, and blue
and yellows that testify to a days
passing are bits Of gelatine skilfully
juggled over a strong white light.
Miss Kirkwood has borrowed from
the German theater her idea for the
concrete dome which surrounds hel
tiny stage and upon which she
throws her many colored lights. The
rest of her effects are original and
may be seen nowhere else in the
world. Her experiments parallel in a
way the experiments which MaudC
Adams is making.
Simple. But Tedious.

The Deauyllle Scarf.
The Deauville scarf is nothing IL

Fall Suits.
Green shades, of dark and grayish

One of the crushable little hats use

The important material for the
coming season is velvet. Every kind
of velvet, erect, pile, chiffon, is shown
and sponsored for both day time and
evening garments.
Sport Coats.
Large blocks, in two-toned effects,
constitute one of the vivid patterns
for sport coats. 1t is especially at

combination
Cretonne Jacquettes.
Jacquettes of cretonne and velve-

For Afternoon.
Separate coats of suede cloth in

The String Tie.
The smartness of the autumn coat
and skirt suit lies in the high collar
which folds closely about the throat
and turns over brilliant string tie
with long narrow ends reaching the
belt.

The costume slip continues in
popularity. One Of the newest is OF
tinted silk lace, the lace very finely

LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO MRS.
MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT.
MY DEAR MRS. PRESCOTT:

MY DEAR MRS. PRESCOTT:
I think I should have written you
before this, but no doubt your son
has kept you posted and you know
how dreadfully ill Leslie has been.
She 10 still far from well and we
lire very much worried over her mind.
She seems to have developed almost
h case of melancholia. She pays no
ettention to anything or anybody, not
ven poor Jack, who seems broken
hearted. He has grown very thin,
and / do wish that / could persuade
him to 60 away for little while.
However, he would not leave Les
lie for anything, am sure. He comes
lin when she is asleep and sits beside
her bed, her hand in his, for hours at
u time. But just the moment she
stirs as though she were going to
awake he steals away, as though he
lis afraid that even his presence wor-
ries her.
Jack has probably told you that
Leslie lost her baby after the acci-
dent. The poor child had not told
Jack anything about her great expec-
tation, as she seemed to have gotten
it into her head that he would not be
pleased. She kept the wonderful Sc
cret to herself, and consequently.
since the automobile accident, she has
never asked Jack anything about it;
I wish she would do so. 1t would
|be such a comfort to her, L know,
to have her husband take her in his
arms and tell her how sorry he is FOR
her. They seem, both of them. to be
laboring under mistaken ideas OF help
ing each other. You and /: my dear
Mrs. Prescott, know that the nearer
one can come to sharing all ones Sc
crets with ones husband or wife, The
better both can reach great happiness.
Jack has told me you have been
uuite i'll. I am very sorry. and l am
writing this letter SO you will not
think I am quite a savage in not
asking about your health before, but
I have been so concerned over my
laughter and so busy trying to min
lister to her mind. as well as to her
body, that l have thought of little
else. =,
Jack has told me you met Karl
Whitney at your house while Leslie
was there. Perhaps you will be in
terested to know that he has gone
abroad to London. where my second
daughter, Alice, is staying with the
Stokleys. You, ! am sure, will re-
member Alice as a typical American
girl. The letters she writes ME are
most diverting. the last one particu-
barly so. Ordinarily Leslie would be
|ifuch interested. and pleased with
them. but the last one which l re-
ceive.l from Alice did not awaken Il
smile from her.
Jack and I have come to the deci-
sion today that tomorrow shall go
and find healthy Young baby and
bring it to Leslie. If she shows the
Slightest inclination for it. Jack will
adopt it. DR.. Samson seems to think
this is the only thing that will do her
any good. He says il something. IS
not done very soon TO awaken her
mind to things about her. he fears for
her life, if not her sanity. You can

PLAN ALL YEAR RADIO SERVICE
 FOR FISHERMEN
Negotiations Pending for Op. ening All Year Radio
 Service at Yakutat.

That there is a strong probability of the establishment of an all year radio service at Yakutat for the benefit of the halibut fleet fishing off Icy Straits and in the Gulf of Alaska, is indicated in advices re- ceived at the local U. s. Customs office, according to statement made today by Collector John c. Me Bride. Negotiations are pending fer the service between the Depart ment of Commerce and interested parties, he said.
 The matter of establishing an all year service at Yakutat was initiat- ed last Spring by the local Customs officials. It was pointed out to the Treasury Department that Yakutat is the only convenient shelter for boats during storms which sweep the Gulf of Alaska during the late winter months and that during those months the radio station maintain ed there by Libbl, McNeil & Libby in connection with their cannery is closed down.
 The reques of the local offlce was referred to the Interdepartmental Radio Advisory Committee which, after Investigating conditions, rec commended the establishment of the service. The Department of Com merce, which has supervision over commercial radio, has advised Col lector Mcbride that it now is con- ducting negotiations with the Fish Ing Vessels Owners Association and also with Libby, McNeil X Libby seeking cooperation in providing for the necessary station. It is thought possible that the service will be arranged for by next winter.
