NORMA TALMADGE TALKS ABOUT
THE MOTHER-LOVE OF HER PICTURE
go? —:^zr- —
"Secret of tlie Storm Country" to He Shown Ax Xew I far'* Oflcrinß at
Colonial
The Colonial Theater's New Y'car's Day attraction will be "The Secret
or the Storm Country." the latest picture made by that ever-pleasing star.
Norma Talmadge.
" 'The Secret of the Storm Country' will have a lesson for everyone
who sees it." declared Norma Talmadse, in discussing the picture. "In my
opinion it is every motion picture actress' duty t<> uphold the sanctity of
tin- home, and inasmuch as the fifth estate plays such an important part in
moulding present-day public opinion, this photoplay will appeal not only to
one class, but to every rank of society, rich or poor, worldly or homelov
ing. ,
"It is because it has this appeal that I think it the greatest picture 1
have ever done. The story depends for its climax on love's sacrifice. And
inasmuch as this is an era of sacrifice, it will teach every woman who
sees it a lesson which will make her want to sacrifice herself for a worthy
cause, either for home or for country.
"True, 'The Secret of the Storm Country' is a melodrama, but the big
gest successes in New Yo lt this year have been melodramas. The heroine,
Tess, runs the gimut of emotions before the story is completed," continued
Miss Talmadge. 'Mother love is glorified, if there is such a thing as glori
fying the no K, "st emotion of which the human heart is capable. The
scenario has heart-interest, love, action and sacrifice, and a more complete
formula for a screen triumph cannot be imagined.
"It raises the great question as to which a mother would sacrifice if
she were compelled to choose—the welfare of th" man who had made her
liis wife, or their child. That certainly is a problem which any woman
would watch worked out with interest."

Holiday shown at the Regent
Attractions Theater to-morrow,
at tlie Regeut Wednesday and
Thursday, "The Judg
ment House." This is presented by J.
Stuart Blackton, the recognized mas
ter of screen-craft from the famous
novel by Sir Clilbert Parker.
' it tells a delightful story of Jas
mine Grenfel, a beautiful and frivol
ous Knglish girl, who has two suitors,
and who plays fast and loses them
both. Finally she marries one of the
two and enters upon a life of unhap
pincss, because of her husband's dis
sipation. A thrilling and mysterious
murder, scenes of the Boer War, and
moments of emotional power that
would be hard to excel are some of
the features.
Kannie Ward, the ever-popular star
of the stage and screen, will be at the
Regent to-day only in "Her Strange
Wedding." On Friday and Saturday
there will be a double attraction of
inusual merit. "Nan of Music Moun
tain," the star of which is handsome
Wallace Reid, of Paramount fame,
will be the headliner.
It is a western story full of thrills
from start to whirlwind finish, but
has many entirely new angles and
contains a love story of the most ro
mantic interest. The Mack-Sennett
comedy, "That Night," will provide
the second part of this twin bill.
William A. Brady, who lias been a
noted figure .in theatrical development
for many years, will
Alice Ilrady present another of
in "Tlie Maid his wonderful feature
of IlelKium" film plays at the Vic
toria Theater to-day
and to-morrow, entitled "The Maid of
Belgium," in which the winsome star.
Alice Brady, is featured. This picture
is without fiuestion one of the most
gripping and absorbing pictures ever
shown anywhere. As tlie title indi
cates, the picture lias to do with the
story of a Belgian maid a refugee
who is brought to America by a
kindly, wealthy couple. The girl is
half crazed by the terrors she has
gone through. Her memory is gone
and when it is discovered that she is
about to become a mother she is un
able to remember who the child's
lather is. Remarkable developments
come from this situation aind the
story ends with a totally unexpected
climax.
Kor Wednesday and Thursday the
victoria offers Mrs. Vernon Castle in
"Sylvia of the Secret Service," a pow
erful and timely picture showing this
popular woman in a different sort of
role than any she has ever had.
INCREASE IN
FOOD SUPPLY
NOW PLANNED
Dauphin County Committee
Also to Take l'p Problem
of Distribution
To develope war gardens, replen
ish livestock, increase the egg prod
uct, and to raise bumper crops in
every necessary farm commodity is
the aim of the committee which lias
just been appointed by Donald Mc-
Corinick, food administrator for
Dauphin county.
This committee includes: J. Wil
liam Bowman. H. A. Bo.ver, 'J. W.
Clemenson, M. A. Cumbler, F. E.
Downes, Mrs. William Henderson. D.
L. Keister, J. E. Lentz, L. E. Mc-
Ginnis, H. D. Reel, H. G. Niesley,
Mrs. John W. Reily, F. E. Sham
baugh, Albert Shenk and D. E.
Tracy.
Last year's work was more or less
experimental. It is expected that in
the approaching season practical les
sons will be put to use, so that Dau
phin county may make a record for
production. It is likely that the com
mittee will concentrate on potato
raising lor one thing. The Pennsyl
vania Department of Agriculture will
be able to give suggestions on this
activity, having made a study of
last year's results. In some parts of
Dauphin county growers got as much
as 324 bushels to the acre, but the
average production was only 83.
Some stable method of treating the
land will be adopted and it will be
the committee's business to acquaint
the unskilled with practical methods.
Labor Scarcity .
The scarcity of labor is the one
thing that threatens to balk the plans
of the food conserving officials. "It
may be necessary to call upon the
schoolboys," observed Mr. McCor
mlck, "and after taking a census of
those who are willing to aid the gov
ernment in this patriotic cause, select
a sufficient number to supply the
needs.
"Many more will probably be
needed this year than answered the
call last fall," he said. "Many farm
ers found that some of the men, who
volunteered for this service could
not stand t'.ie work of the farm, so
this committee may employ a selec
tive method in securing available
material to till the gap in farm help
caused by the experienced men going
into military or naval service."
It is altogether probable, he
thought, that it will be necessary to
call upon schoolboys to help if the
effort to raise bumper crops is to be
made.
It is apparent now that, owing to
the big demand, many farmers have
them in the smaller towns through
and if this continues prohibitive
prices will reign. Not only that but
there would be a great diminution in
the available supply for the troops,
if the war lasts several years. Be
side the farmers, persons living in
town, with however small accommo
dations. will be urged to raise chick
ens and eggs. It is imperative, said
Mr. McCormick, that Dauphin coun
ty makes an increase in the produc
tion of crops, animals and all farm
produce. "I count on the war gar
dens to be ot' great help. We intend
to make special effort to establish
them in the smaler towns throughout
out the county."
In the matter of markets, which
falls under the work of this com
mittee, there can b<V 110 definite fore
cast at the present time. In larger
cities, municipal markets are being
established, but there is no need here
as llarrisburg is well supplied
through the presetit markets. How
ever, in special instances where price
agreements can be consummated to
the beiieiit of the consumer, this
committee will endeavor to establish
the new basis.
