rected by Arthur Ahley
If there la any doubt In tho minds of
the ekeptlcal as to the worth of motion
photography then they shouli see what It
has done In this chronicle of events In the
history of Ilussla The doings of years have
been condenbed Into an hour and a half
of animated history. And at Its conclusion
the spectators applauded, a rarity In the
photoplay theatre of today. The actors
who have endeavored to portray tho leading
roles have given the screen types that are
easily understood, but as to fidelity of the
portraits the reviewer cann,ot Judge. They
are, however, convincing and hold the at
tention The Introduction of the actors Is
clever, although not new. They ore In real
life and then In their Slavic costumes. The
company has been well selected and Is ex
pert, although there Is no outstanding star.
Rarely has tho biipportlng cast of a World
production been of such a fine caliber.
It Is unnecessary to go Into details about
the story, for the newspapers have been
telling It for the last few years Kvery
ono should see this production If he would
know the story of the new Slav republic
The scenes were carefully planned, with tho
streets of a village especially worthy of
note. While the photography Is clear nnd
good, It docs not. show all that could hao
been done In nn nrtlstlc way with the use
of well-directed lighting. The leaders were
easy to read, nnd their drawings symbolic
of the text Tho film Is a real lesson In
history

Valeakn Suratt Ktorv bv Randolph Lewis and
directed by Carl HarbaiiRh Photographed by
George Tlenolt Vox production.
It Is well that the program calls attention
to Valeslta Suratt as being "tho empress of
fashion," for her work In this production is
not notable. Thero Is too much time taken
up with unnecessary dstalls to make up
what Is technically known as "footage " Two
children and an intelligent collie dog hold
the few bright spots In this story. Briefly,
the theme deals with the humble country
girl who Is thrown Into the life of a finan
cier who temporarily lives Incognito at a
fishing village. He allows her to think that
she is an heiress and she goes to the city,
where she attemps to clean up the tene
ments owned by her unknown benefactor
The distinguished financier fears that she
only loves him for his money and puts her
to tho test, from which she emerges vic
torious The supporting company was com
posed of such sterling players as Edward
Martlndel as the financier. John Dllllon.

This Is a worth-whilo offering, with
Lasky settings and lighting, entertaining
and novel story nnd a delightful character
portrayed by Miss Martin. The lovo of a
drughtor for her mother furnishes tuo main
thc-ie, nnd It holds the Interest until the
vn end Not content with merely ono
aKe artist, tho directors have supplied a
silppibrtlng company of players who ate ex
perienced In film acting. Tho story con
cerns the efforts of a mother to lnduco her
daughter to associate with new-found
frlolnds, but after a month the daughter
docs not care for them and leturns to her

UNION LABOR BOOSTS
SAMMEE SMOKE FUND
Mnllinery Workers' Local No. 44
Will Give Benofit Dance
October 12
Tllicre are many ways to help swell the
"fimlokes for Sammees" fund, which Is
showing a very healthy Increase daily. In
addition to helping In the various Indus
trial) plants by weekly contributions, tho
rankjs of union labor havo adopted other
plant! which promlso to boost tho receipts
In i smprt order.
p3il October 12 Millinery Workers' Local
No. 4 will hold a dance at tho Parkway
Bull ling, the receipts of which will be
turn ed over to tha fund. The affair Is be-
lug extensively advertised, and thero Is
eer i indication of a large attendance.
Other union organlaztlons are planning
tim ar affairs, and many house entcrtaln
mer ts are also being arranged In various
Beet ions of Philadelphia for the tobacco
fundi,
Among the latest contributions received
wah one of $5.25 from George G. Meade,
of tClnth nnd Sansom streets. He said the
moiey represented the proceeds of three
dajs from the automatic piano In his cafe.
Hereafter all nickels dropped In the piano
Willi be turned over to the fund.
The fund Is now In tho neighborhood of
10,700, and from advance reports received
wlai' It will probably teach the $11,000
rnarU by tomorrow. More than twice that
Hmbunt must be realized, however, to glvo
na fighting sons ot Uncle Sam plenty ot
'mokes.
The time to give is now, even If you
jave.ylven before, and bear In mind that
ie money should be sent to the Tobaqeo
ommlttea of the Emergency Aid, H28

POTTSVILLE. Pa , Oct. 5 Most of the
breweries of Schuylkill County raised the
price of their beer from $7 to $9 n barrel
without any previous notice. This action
caused consternation nmong hundreds of
saloonkeepers, many of whom havo had
difficulty to mako ends meet under former
prices.
This new price will not only force hun
dreds of saloons out of business, but caused
an Immediate reduction In tho size of beer
glasses The brewers say that the new Gov
ernment tax nnd the ever-Increasing cost
of the Material to make beer caused their
action.
Most of tho brewers express Indifference
as to whether many of tho 11 GO saloon
keepers here go out of business.
SHENANDOAH, Pn., Oct. 5 As the re
cult of President Wilson signing the new
tax bill Wednesday, all the brewers of this
city nnd legion have advanced the price of
beer $1.50 per barrel The prevailing price
was $7 50 per barrel, but the additional tax
cf $1 50 Increases tho prlco now to all re
tailers to $11 per barrel.
The saloon men hao been hard hit by
the war, and the new price of beer will
finally force the smaller ones out of busi
ness. SCRUB WOMAN BUYS BOND

AWAIT GOETHALS' WORD
ON CAMDEN BRIDGE
Jersey Commissions Postpone
Definite Action on Delaware
and Hudson Projects
TRENTON, Oct. B At a Joint confer
ence of the Delaware River and Hudson
River Bridge and Tunnel commissions yes
terday It was decided to await a report from
General Goethals, State engineer, upon the
proposed bridges or tunnels connecting Cam
den and Philadelphia and Jersey City and
New York before taking definite action.
General Goethals told the commissioners his
reports would be made at an early date.
The conference considered the bridge and
tunnel projects from every posslblo angle
and virtually agieed that the two com
missions Instead of acting Independently
should co-operat. to the fullest extent pos
slblo. Tho consensus of sentiment seemed to be
that the bridges or tunnels crossing or under
the Delaware and Hudson Rivers should be
treated as a rm of the State highway sys
tem and hence that tho cost should be
shared by tho State at larg Instead of being
borne entirely by the counties Immediately
adjacent to Camden or Jersey City.
Samuel T. French, of Camden, chairman
ot the Delaware Bridge Commission, was
selected chairman of tho Joint conference
and will call tho next bcsslon. at which It
Is expected a deflnlto line cr procedure win
bo agreed upon The Delaware Bridge Com
mission has already gone on recora ns 1.1
vorlng a State tax to meet the cost of the
proposed brldgo between Camden and Phil
adelphia.

Camp-Fire Stories
It's a dark and stormy night no chance for a camp fire.
It's cold and raw. You'd like a good, hot supper. Ham

Flame Burner you make coffee and fry ham and eggs
or heat soup, beans or peas as quick as a wink.
Cost About a Cent a Cube
No Smoke No Odor No Soot No Ash Non-Explosive
Don't start on a Camping Trip without Theroz. You will need it either

blowing and the brush is wet and soggy.
At the scratch of a match you have instantly the full, intense heat of the
fuel. There's no waiting for something to heat or something to start up.
And one cube of Theroz will heat water for five shaves.
