Booked For the Regent
GRIFFITH S "THE GREAT I.OVE"
The latest Arteraft picture to be
i elrused bv D. W. Griffith, the pro
ducer of the "Birth of a Nation."
"Intolerance," "Hearts of the World. ,
etc.. is "The Great Love." another
wonderful war story showing the re
generation of women by war. which
will be shown at the Regent Theater
next Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday.
It is a story of the great love —the
love that places country above all
else. Like all Griffith productions it :
has a wonderful love story inter- -
twining itself through some of the
most remarkable war scenes, views;
of munition factories, and Zeppelin
raids that have yet been shown
on the screen. The many thrilling
scenes, the awful suspense and the
tremendous action in this picture
makes it one that will long be re
membered Aside from these many
salient points, the Dowager Queen
Alexander. Lady Dianna Manners,
Violet Asquith and many other notable
members of the first families of Eng
land are to be seen, themselves, and
not impersonated by others.
The news of the German atrocities
in Bejgium stirs up Jim Young, of
Youngstown, Ohio, so much that he
goes to Canada and enlists in the
British Army. He is sent to a train
ing camp on the outskirts of Lon
don. While there he makes the ac
quaintance of j-usie. a little Aus
tralian girl, who is innocent. person
ified. and much flattered by the at
tention paid her by a real live soldier,
which later turns to love
Susie falls heir to twenty thousand
pounds and at on.e becomes the ob
ject of much solicitude on the part
cf Sir Rodger Brighton, an unscrupu
lous fortune hunter. About this time
Jim is called to the front and Sir
Rodger tries to persuade Susie to
marry him before he leaves for a
business trip to France. This Susie
refuses to do. The rest of the story
tells of the love adventures of the
two suitors, interrupted by Inter
national complication and the ma
chinations of German adverturers
masquerading as radicals with whom
Sir Ridger becomes entangled. The
transformation of England's fair
women of society into the many fields
of endeavor, the munition factories,
the Red Cross and the hospitals is
shown Among them is Susie, who
finds "the great love" in the service
of her country and the great cause for
democracy.

At the Jiil that opened at the vau- '
Majestic ieville house yesterday is j
made up. with one oxcep- '
lion, of laughing material. The head- '•
line act. entitled "For Pity's Sake." is
a travesty on-the old style melodrama '
as played in the rural theater, and
the "vilyun" is there in al his glory. !
The act goes farther byway ot pre- |
i senting the manager of the country 1
opera house and exposes to view the
very clever arrangement of such an
• institution for working effects that
make the rain and snow and thunder !
and other things so realistic to the
audience. The act is a big laugh
from start to finish. Billy Gleason
keeps his audience amused with his
songs and stories, and there is much i
else on the bill worthy of attention, j
The attraction at the Colonial for
j to-day and to-morrow will be P. W. i

turvy. It is a story of Ameri' A. hi
tory showing the rise and fall oi sia .*- !
ery in this country and the errib'e ,
suffering that was endured before a I
solution of this problem-was reached. !
It is not so much history as it is ]
drama and romance in a new form of !

Theater to-day, a play based on a pa

with its all too true but deplorable
picturing of violence and devastation.
The Lee sisters assume the roles
of two little Jrish lassies who. or
phaned. are left in the care of a
kindly American uncle, a munitions
manufacturer, and his wife, whose
underlying good traits are submerged
in the process of social climbing.
Spies inveigle themselves into the
confidence of the manufacturer's son
and seek to destroy the plant, but
here enter our paired pocket edition
of patriots, who bring their evil plot
to naught.
Not alone does war and its machi
nations interest these youngsters, but
the hampered love affair of the daugh
ter of their ambitious foster mother
and the humble factory hand is aided
by them, much to her disappointment
and that the scion of the society
leader, who really needed some of the
manufacturer's millions.
King Kelly did one of his famous
three-parachute drops at Paxtang
Park yesterday
Balloon Ascensions afternoon be
and Vaudeville fore an audi
ence of more
than 6.000 people. Kelly rode his
balloon up and up until it looked a
mere speck in the air to the anxious
throng on the ground. And then he
cut loose with one parachute after an
other until the third one opened,
scarcely 1.000 feet above the earth,
while the awe-stricken spectators
breathed a sigh of relief to see the
aeronaut glide safely back to the
ground. It was some "dare-devil"
stunt, and those who went out to
Paxtang looking for a real thriller
in the aviation game surely got it.
To-morrow King Kelly will try the
three-parachute drop again, for the
benefit of the skeptical ones, and those
who did not see him perform yester
day.
The vaudeville bill at the park
theater, headed by the Chinese novelty
act called "The Children of Con
fucius." is nearly as big a drawing
card as is Kjng Kelly. "~-e show is
a remarkably good one. and the thea
ter is filled at every performance.

requires a steady nerve and quite
some ambition to do a day's work.
My nervous system began to swag, j
I had nO ambition. Everything I j
did appeared to be a task for me. II
had used several different kinds of:
medicine. Some of them helped
long as I was taking them, but as
soon as I stopped, I felt even worse
than before.
"Tonall was recommended so
highly to me that I at once com
menced taking it. To my great
satisfaction, it has proven to me to
be the best Tonic and System Builder.
I have ever used. I feel altogether
like a different man in every re
spect."
