TUESDAY EVENING,
GRIFFITH FILM
ON WARTHRILLS
"Hearts of the World" Is an
Appealing Story of Suf
fering in France
Every patriotic resident of HarriS
burg should not miss an opportunity
to see D. W. Griffith's war film
"Hearts of the World," which is be
ing presented at the Orplieum tii's
week. With the exception of tne
battle scenes which are certainly
genuine, the picture lacks the other
sordid sensationalism which mar to
many of the war films now being
shown, but in this one there is a
thrill in many of the scenes and
Mr. Griffith has also given to the
public one of. the most appealing
stores of France's suffering that has
ever been pictured.
As a patriotic and war propaganda
film this one is a big success. None
of the grandeur of other Griffith pic
tures is shown—instead there is a
heart-appeal in the simplicity of the
happenings in a peaceful French
village as shown before the war,
then when the Germans attack. The
second part of the picture shows the
Germans in possession and then tho
attack of the French, British and
Americans with other Allied forces
who win back the village. No one
who is a red-blooded American citi
zen can view the unfolding of this
story—and it is only one of many
similar ones—and not vow vengeance
on the Hun hordes and their barbar
ity. Just what the audience thought
about it last night was evidenced
when Allied troops were shown in
charges near the close of the plav.
Prolonged applause and loud cheers
resounded in the theater for minuces
and when American boys appeared,
the approval of the crowds turned in- ,
to an uproar.
The battle scenes deserve special
mention as tbey give one a correct
impression of the fighting in France.
Trench attacks, flame-throwers and
poison gas attacks, the use of the
aeroplane and the formidable tanks
all are shown.
The love story in "Hearts of the
World" tells of the dreams of a girl
and a boy. both children of American
parents who came to France. Short
ly before the wedding he left for ser
vice when the war started. How both
suffer and are reunited is told in true
Griffith fashion.
In the cast are such screen favor
ites as Lillian Gish, as The Girl;
Dorothy Git.h; Robert Harron, as
The Boy; Ben Alexander, M. Em
mons and F. Marion, as his three
small brothers, and a number of
others who took leading parts.
It is to bo regretted that more
courtesy is not shown when the
French national song is played. There
is no reason why Americans who
are allied now with the French and
' other countries in the fight for demo!
I cracy, should not show the proper
respect by standing when "The Mur
sellaise" is played.
MAX ROBERTSON.
The Majestic
Holiday crowds filled the Majes
tic to the doors yesterday and en-
Joyed an entertaining bill.
"House of Hate." Only three
i more and the theater pa
-1 trons will see no more of this melo
i dramatic sensation which is now be
[ coming a bit tiresome.
Maxim Girls.—Three girls present
! a juggling offering which is not ex
traordinary but would have made a
hit in the afternoon but for the num
ber of times it was necessary for
them to make a second start.
"Nutty Nonsense." Jack Kin
neard %nd Charles Martin, of Har
risburg, were recalled for a number
of encores after doing some fine
comedy work. They have a number
of new jokes which are sure to start
an uproar.
"The Only Girl." —A company of
ten presents this condensed version
of Victor Herbert's musical comedy
success. It certainly pleages the
audiences and being full <3f humor
ous situations keeps everyone smil
ing. The musical numbers are good
and some members of the company
deserve mcntioh, but the program
contains no titles of songs, no names
of characters, so one can't name

Nervous Wrec
k Live Wire
Makes Everybody Sit Up
and Take Notice
One of our big league ballplayers
had been going back for some time,,
no matter how hard he tried he
could not get his old-time Pep and
Ginger into the game, it was uphill
work all the time. He was one of
those honest, hard-working fellows
and it finally, got his "goat," his
r.erves went bad, he commenced to
run down, could not eat or sleep and
kept steadily slipping. Doctors and
medicines were of no help.
One of his many admirers said
to him, "Why not try Phosphated
Iron, everybody is boosting it."
Grasping at the last straw, the
poor fellow took a try at it. The
way he came back was an "eye
opener," he was there in every de
partment of the game, his nerves
were like iron, he could hit the ball
and was no time getting back to the
three hundred mark, while his base
running and fielding were great.
Discussing the matter with our
reporter he said, "Would you believe
it, I could feel the Iron charging my
blood with health and strength,
while the way the Phosphates
steadied anfl renewed my nerve
force was almost too good to be
lieve. Phosphated Iron took hold
of me right from the start and sure
did make a new man of me, and
you can bet I carry a good supply
on all my trips."
Doctors will tell you that you
must have plenty of Iron and Phos
phates in your system if you want
pure red blood and steady nerves
of iron. Every one who is run
down, nervous, tired and has that
"all in" feeling should try Phos
phated Iron and you will never be
without it again.
Special Notice —To insure physi
cians and patients receiving the gen
uine Phosphated Iron we have put
up in capsules only, so do not allow
dealers to substitute pills or tablets,
insist on the genuine in capsules
only. For sale in Harrisburg by

i4itsuch historic happenings
Mr. Griffith wove his thrilling and ap
pealing love story with Lillian Gish,
Dorothy Gish, Robert Harron. George
rawcett and other notables in the
principal roles. Opens the story in
sun-kissed, flower-decked peaceful
Ham a month before the declaration
of war. Then comes the war-cloud,
the turmoil of excitement, the mobili
zation of the French, the warning of
the barbarians' advance, the effort to
protect the village, the fleeing of the
inhabitants, the bombardment, the
capture of and the final sacking of
the little town. Follows the enslave
ment of the women and children, who
were so unfortunate as not to be able
to escape capture, and other Hun
atrocities, the French rally, the de
feat of the Germans and the happy
ending of the love story.
A symphony orchestra and a carload
of special stage effects lend their aid
to the realistic presentation of the
spectacle. Seats are now selling rap
idly for the entire engagement.
Mabel Normand will be seen at the
Colonial Theater for the last times
to-day in her
Mabel Normand In latest screen
"Back to the Woods" success. "Back
to the Woods,"
the love story of a master man and a
girl alone in the heart of the woods.
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday,
Normal Talmadge, onp of the pretti
est of stage queens, will be seen in
"The Safety Curtain," a • sensational,
emotional drama filled with gripping
episodes, fascinating story of a stage
beauty's struggles to hide her drab
past from her husband's scrutiny.
Supporting Miss Talmadge is Eugene
O'Brien and an unusually strong cast.
The desire for liquor with some peo
ple is a hard habit to overcome, but
with any one
"The Danger Mark" who is so un
at the Regent lucky as to
have this desire
handed down to them through two
generations, it is doubly hard. This
is what Geraldine Seagrave found out
when, as the habit continued growing
day after day, she tried to overcome
it. Geraldine Seagrave is the charac
ter in Robert W. Chambers' great
novel, "The Danger Mark," the pic
turization of which is showing to
day and to-morrow at the Regent
Theater, with Elsie Ferguson, the
famous Artcraft actress playing the
roll of Geraldine Seagrave. It is a
powerful picture with an interesting
and educational value dealing as it
does with the theory of heredity as a
potential factor in shaping the desti
nies of man and woman.
Each part is well played. There are
many thrilling moments, several high
ly dramatic scenes and enough comedy
to eliminate the tragedy that keeps
creeping in.
In the Initial showing yesterday at
the Victoria Theater of the official
American Red
Red Cro.. Feature Cross film, "The
at the Victoria Fourth of July
in Paris," round
after round of applause swept over
the audiences which had gathered to
witness with their own eyes the tri
umphant swing of the Yankee hosts
who stopped the 'Huns at the very
gate of Paris and paid the first instal
ment on our age-old debt to France.
Truly the picture is pronounced an
inspiring sight, and well worth see
ing. It will be shown again to-dav
and to-morrow, one-tenth of the gross
receipts going to the local chapter of
the Red Cross.
In a story filled with human inter
est and heart throbs, without any
marring traces of maudlin senti
mentality. Mitchell Lewis plays lis
usual strong role in "Nine-Tenths of
the LaV," the special feature which
is being rtm at the ictoria Theater
to-day ,for the second and final show
ing.
Lack of Teachers in
County Delays School
Opening For One Week
With 27 vacancies in the county
school teaching forces, a number of
buildings in the rural districts were
not opened yesterday, W. R. Zimmer
man, assistant county superintendent,
announced. Some of these will be
opened next Monday as a few more
teachers have been found, but in
other districts it will b necessary to
consolidate schools unless at least
20 more teachers are found. Some of
the school directors have already
conferred with the county officials
and are maricing arrangements for
teachers and other moves in order to
open all the schools. In some dis
tricts it was pointed, out that con
solidation •will be almost an impossi
bility because of the bad roads in
the winter time which are almost
impassable and over which children
would be compelled to travel long dis
tances to buildings.
"The situation Is serious." Profes
sor Zimmerman said, "In the upper
end of the county Superintendent F.
E. Shambaugh is-at .work now. but he
reports 17 vacancies io-day ( some of
them In high schools. In the lower
end of the county there are almrst
as many places to be filled."
