X waitress at tho American C'antccn, and
. t have como to the conclusion that It is
Suite the busiest place In IxinUon.
in the American hut we waitresses don't
,n ' walk we go nt
the quickest of
nuick runs, laden
with orders, laden
with trays, with so
many soldiers to
attend to and so
many curious Hems
to remember that
It seems an almost
Impossible feat.
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

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. Utz.

Inspired Frenchwoman defied satisfactory
analysis. Attributes of nrting, of singing,
even of dancing In its most interpretative
rhythmic mood, aro miraculously combined
In her performances which actually seem
to bo mado on no less an Instrument than
tho human soul.
On tho program her Individual contri

feeble. Sho employs them to exploit poetry,
gayety and lulmltablo Oallk'. "salt," humor
and liathos, tragedy and comedy, wordly
wise Irony and tho nalo simplicity of vir

wThi! .'. '' equel ,0 Ellnr Olyn's "Three

at this theatre. 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

Ina Brooks contribute to the support,
Mary Plckford's latest photoplay Is about

The varying fortunes of Sara present In

girls these stories are plctorially presented
on a lavish scale.

There Are Very Good
Reasons Why Every
Family Which Has a
Lester Player-Piano
Is in Love With It.
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. Just send us your
address today on coupon below and
we will show you how easy it is.
