END CAME FIVE YEAIIS Ado. It has been five years since tho tongs, .. Barret societies that ruled China- Mown by the law of tho feud and the mlxht of their hatchctmen or oxecu 'tloners, passed out of being. Thv had reigned supreme for moro i than 30 years, unseen forces for the most part, apparent now nna men in me urono of the Chinese bagpipe that gave tho sig nal for the fuslllado In the dark, tho ratllXe scurry of flight through tho trap doors and over roofs and the sprawling figure I" the hallway or street which rioter! thn notice. One murder always meant that others would follow. That xm the law or tho tongs, two lives must pay for the doath of a member. In former dayB Chinatown was left pretty much to Us own devices as far ns rovernment was concerned. The way of !Uie Chinese was unknown to tho police men. It seemed that no matter what happened In the street thcro was never anir eye-witnesses. The crack of re volver shots and tho shrieked ton? war .cry, "Ahg ollah," would bring tho pa .trolman onjho run, , The dead man would 'to there, but no one else. If tho tong member would be shot in a. house, the Inhabitants would disappear and tiro i police would search an empty dwelling for witnesses. CONDITIONS CHANGED NOW. Conditions havo changed now, and with their changing the squalor that was Chinatown has passed away. Three things were tho foundation of life to the Chinese colony of that day gambling, opium smoking and the tong government. All these ,havc gone, and, following them, the Chinese havo left by tho scores for climes where the policeman Is not omni present. Gambling has always been the principal passion of the Chinese Thousands of dollars changed hands nightly across the green fantan tables behind the massive wooden doors. Practically every house had Its fortified room, with trapdoors leading to cellars connected by carefully concealed passageways with long tunnels through which the gamblors might flee, only to reappear, the picture of uncon cerned Innocence, a half block away. The police have .killed gambling. But they did not do it by means of the "strong-arm" method. It has been sys tsraatlc destruction coupled with a clever ness la varying their method of surveil lance that has wrought the change which la wiping out Chinatown. For a little while the gambling spirit lingered. The plungera got a semblance of action through betting on the number of seeds an apple or orange contained. The price of fruit soared in Chinatown as a result, and then dronped when the Police placed a ban on this amusement. The fantan rooms are empty now, and 'the- erstwhile players seek the society , of some fortunate friend who owns a ijtore. Here they sit all evening dls- CcuMlng Hid probabilities of thelrl country (entering the European conflict. 'EVEN, THE ATMOSPHERE DIFFERS. Even tho atmosphero of Chinatown has undergone a change. The sour reek of opium, smoke no longer hangs In the air. The parchment-faced, dull-eyed lave, of the poppy no longer Blinks through the streets, driven by his "yen" iQwarn the narrow bunk, the peanut-oil flame, the pill of "hop" and the pipe.

"Wedding March" Mendelssohn MOVIES MAKING STRIDES IN ADVERTISING ART Some of the Publicity Methods of the New Ar,t of Popular Amusement. By the Photoplay Editor In tho few years of really big devel opment of the movies the press matter eont out has far outdistanced that ot the legitimate theatres and plays In truthfulness, Variety, readableness and lack of superlative purr. It has even achieved little magazines of real merit. And now the photoplay Is pushing ltd theatrical brother pretty hard In the field of artistic nnd effective advertising. Tho photoplay advertises Inside tho theatre and out, Kalem, for Instance, sells exhibitors a film 6t 20 feet toradver tlse one of Its stars, Alice Holllster, who nppears between opening curtains nnd bows appreciatively, and another 20 showing "11am" and "Bud" taking a curtain call by busting through paper hoops bearing their names; while It dis tributes buttons which carry an adver tisement of "Midnight at Maxim's." Tho Sellg Company Is sending out some very neat and novel folders for Its now productions, particularly "A Texas Steer." I The drawing Is good and the posture ef fect arresting. One little booklet from this firm Is called "New Ulood" and dis tributes aotre very effective red Ink dabs nnd splotches over Kb pages. For Frank Daniels In "Croolty" tho Vltngraph has Issued a heavy paper folder about the Blze of a weekly maga zine with a very startling and amusing cover In black, yellow, blue nnd red, dono In rather a Continental vein. The humor of the drawings on It predisposes tho reader to look for tho humor In the film. As for tho posters, just look at the marvels in lithography that ornament the stucco fronts on Market streetl Eddie Foy, who Was recently signed up to work In Keystone comedies under the direction of Mack Sennett, arrived at the studio In Kdendale on Monday ot this week and Immediately started rehearsal In a Sennet picture. Mr. Foy expresses a desire to get Into heavy harness at once and take all the bumps that are coming to him. As Foy walked Into the new auxiliary Keystone plant on the morning of his ar rival he witnessed Haymond Hitchcock taking u fast dash on the back of a spir ited horse. Foy, who had Just presented his card to the gateman, returned to that worthy and whispered: "Tell the ring master that I won't be ready for work until tomorrow." But when ho discov ered that there would be no need ot horsemanship In his pictures he took oft his coat and started work. Mike Is the oflUtal monkey attached to tho Lubln plant In Philadelphia. Mike l much more human than most humans. He receives 13 a day for his services and enough peanuts and candy to kill the av erage child, Incidentally, he has a dislike for the office cat, nnd uses his spare moments In teasing her. The other day ho evolved a new scheme In making her life a misery. Attached to the studio Is Is a dachshund pup with elongated body nnd alleged legs, Mlko and the dog are chums, so the dachshund did not object when Mike took hltn up In his nrms and carried him over to tho cat and threw him on tho cat's bnck. In n moment there was a lovely right, In which Mlko aided his canine friend by pulling tho cat's tall. When peace was declared, Mike was on Miss Dressler's shoulder, ex plaining It all to her In monkey talk, tha cat was hidden under John C. Ince's now red automobile, and the dog was chasing his tall. During the production of "Editions do I.uxe" nt the Ilellnnce-Mnjestlc studios, Director Joseph Belmont decided that "Blllle" West would play at her highest efficiency as n feminine crook In an arrest scene If ha mado her think she was ar rested In real earnest Just before the scene. He entered Into closo confab with a young man and a little later informed Mies West that she was wanted In a dis tant corner of the studio. She went thero but found no one at first. Suddenly a hand fell upon her shoulder. She looked up to bo confronted by a young man she had never seerl who seemed to bear the unmistakable Imprints of a detective. "Tou're under arrest," said he: "you'ro wanted for murder In New York." "Blllle" West looked the stranger up and down and then she laughed. "Now run along, little boy," she said tantallzlngly. "You're Just one of Joe Belmont's desires to get atmosphera" But they do say that Miss West ap pears really frightened In tho arrest scene In "Editions do Luxe." for their effects) and were genwslly i cessfu! The Flying Mayos arid flu Smith led the bill with airobatJfs nni character songs, respectively. To ha credit of all tho performers, ft must b said that her temperatures BffeteVt thHr ability, nor could they affect apprecia tion of their audience. After th per formances alt this week ushers will guide visitors through the "plant." Keith's Tucked Into the very end of a long bill Ht Keith's this week Is Burdella Tat terson In "a series of artistic poses"; that Item Is the most novel In n bill which Is composed chiefly of popular favorites In vnUdevllIo production. The skilful posing of Mies Tatteraon and tho perfect mech anism supporting her wero a rare pleas ure. The hcndllner, presumably, was the singing group known as "Tho Mclstcr slncer." Although the scenic effect of tho White Mountain Limited Express lacked something of the elaboration which goes with A) Jolson's escapades, It served to glvo background to a series of excellently chosen nnd moro excellently rendered songs. To hear three quartets unblem ished by soprano and contraltos, Is an unusual treat, In vnudcvllle or out Tho playlet of tho program, "Types of Btage land," written by Patrick Calhoun, who appeared In It with Martha Itussell, de mands a quick turn from pathos to gaiety and back again, and Miss nussell was able to stir her audience considerably by her work. Dancing formed part of more than one net, Oallagher nnd Martin using It dain tily as an extra, but Its chief turn came with Bnnkoff nnd Girlie, who drew a fantastic travesty on the modern craze. Frank Mullno nnd tho team of Raymond nnd Caverley. (Haymond being remem bered from "Fads and Fancies") wero tho humorists who depended upon clever puns, accents and general good spirits Here and There Trained animals and Scotch muslo are busy this week at Nixon's Grand Olyrrtpla, Desvall and company, with a number of horses and dogs, prove the everlasting In telligence of man's chief friends )n th anlmnl world.
