Vo may at first glance look rather Impractical sort of people, we volun tary workers, dressed In smart uniforms and stagey Httla caps. But beforo any of us are one hour "on the Job" at the American hut. we are turned rerforce Into the most en ergetic of workers. t had save! at tables In my charge. Suddenly thirty hun y American men arrived at those tables nd seated themselves. Thirty hungry men wanted to be fed at once. There wasn't oni i among them who didn't wish at least ilx different and complete articles of food. For he delivering f those 180 articles I was responsible and In the Bhortcst space "Say. vvaltross, we've got a train to catch from Charing Cross Station In fifteen min utes." drawled some sailors. "Say, waitress, give us Home sweet pota toes with that Kngllsh roast beef I" A little group of American Boldlers were "Can t enrrr some of your trays for lout' A chlvultous Southerner with a commission from tho Federal Government was at my elbow. "Can wo get American Ice cream here 7 "Wliero ran wo get a bath?" . 'Kay, If I Blvo you my mother's address In Kentucky will you write home to her and tell her you've seen mo and I'm looking sandy? She'll bo Just tickled to death" "Say, can't you leave thoso table3 alone and como Into the recreation room and ilanco?" "Ill, waitress 1 You'.ve forgotten four apple pies and three custards and six bread and butters, and you've given me cof fee with sugar In It, uml can wo hao somo water to drink? And there's four flying men wanting mutton with roast potatoes and French beans and colTeo nnd romo trifle and tea and can wo huvo somo forks and spoons here " Yes, It's a lively Job. Hut It's extraor dinarily interesting. PLACES FOIl HKItOKS When four one-legged New Zealand sol diers limped Into tho hut and looked around for a table to sit at thcro wasn't an American man nearby who didn't Jump to his feet and figuratively saluto these poor heroes of tho war. "Here, sit here we'll wait." Tho Amer icans welcomed them i-oj ally. "I like thoso Sarnmees," nald ono of the crippled Anzacs to mo when I was at tending to his wants. "They're awfully kind-hearted chaps." And Avhllo they were lunching together the American boys inado those New S5e.i landera tell them stories of Clalllpoli nnd Krypt, talcs of Samoa and tho I'enlnsula and tho Somnid and Yprcs and thoy lis tened wth a whole-hearted admiration for the work of tho Anzacs and for tho sactl flces they had mado that was wonderfully significant of tho great good feeling between (he armies. When lunch was finished I wntched tho American boys help the Anzacs with their crutches and shake them by tho hand. The sight somehow seemed to bring a lump Into one's throat tho new army and the old the men who were about to face all tho horrors of war, nnd the men who had been BEVERLY KIDDIES EXERCISING 3Tr"WtWP of It, but were still bright nnd cheerful. Strains of ragtime came from the big recreation hall beside the dining room. A crowd collected to watch six American sailors danco a new dance. I'm sure that not a Britisher In that hut had ever seen such graceful dancing In his life before. "Wonderful, Isn't It?" A major from Kentucky was speaking Doctor Hamilton, from Borea, Ky who holds a chaplain's commission from tho Federal Government; and who Is organizing clubs and huts for American officers In London. "One-third of all American olucers who come to nuropo will pass through London," said Major Hamilton, "and wo want them to be as happy and comfortable as posslblo wMlo they are here. Vo want them to have a nlco time nnd to have good Impres sions of London. We're going to build a hut In St James Square, and have a house for them ns well We want them to meet nice folks In London and see a little of KngHsh social life." "You Southerners wanted to como Into this war long ago, didn't you?" I asked. "Indeed we did," was the ready answer The South has always been pro-Ally. We feel Jut the same as Canada and New Zealand felt. In fact, we Southerners wanted to Join the war three years ago." Some of the most prominent American men and women In the whole of Great Britain are to be found every day at the hut. At the day'a conclusion I had tea with Lady Alstalr Innes-Kcr. sister-in-law of tho Puke of Itoxtmrghe and formerly Miss Anno jirctno, or iw York. She is lady superin tendent of the enntntm itnH ,1nrniltrv. nml la to be found In her little olllco at tho hut almost any time. "I love the work," she told mo, "and am giving up my whole time to It " Sho Introduced mo to Lady Ward, the daughter of Whttelaw Held, vUio Is the offi cial head of the women's department of all American Y. M V. A.s lu Kngland. non Mrs. llobcrt Grant. Jr., of Boston, came in the four of tis sat down to tea Mrs Grant Is secretary and a very hard worker. WANTED FOB THU HUTS "We are not allowed to make a direct appeal to Americans for gifts," said Lady Innes-Ker, "but do ask your American friends to send things oer for our now con cert hall, In care of tho Y. M. C. A. nnd dog-marked "Kaglo Hut." Wo want rugs and pictures and comfortable chairs and money I We want blankets for the dormi tory and quilts. We want all sorts of things in- the decorating and furnishing line. "Wo're busy thinking out something nice for tho boys at Thankbglvlng. I hope lots of turkeys will bo sent. Wo want them all tc feel at home, and we hope that tho folfta back homo will write them lots of letter and that every one will be cheery and havo a good time." There's one woman at the Eagle Hut whoso Job Is rather a curious one, but ex ceedingly useful. Her services aro con stantly In demand. She Is Mrs. Lusrombe. tho wifo of the commandant of tho prison ers c-f wnr camp at . She Is a lady who "sews on the buttons," and every hour sho Ih besieged by American boys In need of repairs. Needless to say, the congrega tion docs not leavo until tho sermon Is finished It was nt the American hut that I met .1. Salltneyor, the first movlng-plcture man who got a command performance from the King f England. And William II.

It Is much better than tho ,,8Ual run of photoplay versions of novels, possibly due to Vie faot that the director and scenario writer appreciate Just how much footage it takes to portray the theme of the original story Another thing that makes this production Interesting is the continuity with which it Is unfolded without resorting to unnecessary episodes. If future spectators expect to bo regaled With anything imatterlnu nnmi Itio rUriiin they will be disappointed, for It Is "as puro ua me uriven snow." Most of the action takes place In the open, with snow-covered ground and trees for the settings. The Photography of the wintry episodes Is the best that has appeared In pictures for some time. It Is clear weather and the mountains looming up In tho distance set off the scene admirably. The torchlight In the night pictures, with Its reflection In the water, adds to tho effect of this excellent photography. Zeena Keefe, who will be remembered for her work at the Vltagraph studios, screens well, and, while not a beauty, her profile shows keen character sense. Alan Halo also photographs well, but his part does not require much acting. D. J. Flan nlgan, Warren Cook, Franklyn Hanna and Ina Brooks contribute to the support, Mary Plckford's latest photoplay Is about ready for rolease by Artcraft and will be seen the woek of November IS at the Stanley Theatre It Is an adaptation by Frances Marlon of the book by Mrs Frances Hodgson Burnett, "The Little I'rlticess." and presents Mary as Sara Crewe, a joung girl who, upon the death of her father, is plunged from riches to poverty.

In the first place, it Is the easiest player-piano in the world to pedal, due to its specially designed motor and vacuum chambers, found in no other player. For the same reason it is the easiest player-piano to accent, having a wider range of individual expression than any other. Its foundation is thefamous Lester Piano, praised by the world's foremost artists for its full, mellow tone. The piano and player action arc all made in the same factory, each particularly far the other. It is not a heterogeneous assemblage of parts gathered from a dozen makers, It is ALL Lester quality and Lester superiority. Notwithstanding its admitted pre eminence, it is no harder to own a Lester than one of the inferior makes. Being sold direct, all " befween" profits of jobber and agent are eliminated.
