Coal Operators Submit
Reply to Miners' Demands
By associated Press.
Buffalo, Sept. 29. The soft"coal
operators of the central competitive
field to-day submitted to the Joint
conference of operators and miners
their reply to the demands of the
men for a 60 per cent, increase in
wages and shorter working hours.
Before the session opened there
was much speculation as to the at
titude the operators would take on
what has been called the most rev
olutionary demands in the history
of the industry, involving an increase
in pay from the present standard of
$5 a day to $8 a day for approxi
mately 400,000 men. The operators
refused to discuss reports that their
reply would be a flat refusal to
grant the demands of the miners.
CONDITIONS IMPROVED
ContesTllle, Pa., Sept. 29.—Strike

the Midvale Steel Company 600 work
men remained out, against 1,200 last
week. The Lukens Steel Company,
where 500 men struck, reported only

ploy normally between 5,000 and 6,-
000 men.

under control of American officers

THE MEASURE OF A MAN
SOMETIMES DECEPTIVE
A motion picture fan —or rather,
fanness —was astonished, after see
ing William Farnum in his latest
production, "Wolves of the Night,
on learning that he was 5 feet 10%
inches in height.
"I've seen every William Farnum
picture and for many years h®ee
believed him to be six feet taU.
she said in wonderment "How did
it happen?" . .
If the woman had consulted her sci
entific tables of height and weight,
she would have found some light on
her perplexity, in discovering that
William Farnum Is one of the for
tunate creatures whose height and
weight are in correct scientific pro
portion to each short lie is
of the ideal build—which, according
to the preconceived notion of the
"fanness" is 6 feet in height, when
in fact, it Isn't. Incidentally William
Farnum, who appears to-day and to
morrow at the Victoria Theater, in
"Wolves of the Night," one of his
most intense and interesting Photo
plavs, is a bti below weight, due to
close application to his art and care
ful attention to exercise to keep
physically and mentally right and
ready for his work.
Under the direction of Ralph Ince,
the final scenes for "Sealed Hearts
whic his to be Eugene O Brien s sec
ond Selznick production, were shot at
the Selznick Fort Lee studio. The
production will now go through the
cutting and titling departments pre
paratory to being released for show
ing. The supporting cast of healed
Hearts' includes Lucille Stewart, who
also played opposite Mr. O Brieni in
"The Perfect Lover, and Robert
Edeson, the well-known American
stage star.
Hobart Bosworth's first starring
vehicle for Thomas H. Ince has just
been completed under the direction of
lrvin Willat. The production is Be
hind the Door," by Gouverneur Mor
ris in which Mr. Bosworth does many
thrilling stunts including a leap from
a United States battleship, forty feet
high, to the roaHng sea below. Jane
Novak plays in support of the ®t ar
who will soon start work on another
Ince feature.
LIVES RISKED IN FILM
With the blare of bugles and the
burning of .cities, the brushing down
of huge forts, and battles fought on
walls three hundred feet high, many
lives were risked in the production
of the big D. W. Griffith spectacle,
"The Fall of Babylon," now showing
at the Colonial Theater.
During the unfolding of the thril
ling and realistic depicting of baby
lon's greatest epoch one cannot help
being impressed with the. tremen
dous hazards taken by the multitude
of players and supernumeraries who
participated in the mammoth battle
scenes that form the background for
this latest of the Griffith super- |
spectacles. ~ ,
Most of the conflict in "The Fall of
Babylon" was waged on the parapets |
and mighty walls and towers of the
outer fortifications of Babylon, walls
which reached skyward three hun
dred feet. The attacking army of
Cyrus, the Persian, is shown while
attempting to enter the city by means
of giant siege towers moving in
their heights of two hundred feet
of majesty. Atop the walls are seen
Belshazzar's forces defending their
king and city, and when they over
turn some of these huge structures,
which crash in one terrific downfall,
bringing their complement of fight
ing men on sealing ladders to earth,
a mighty thrill is provided for the
spectator.
As war, particularly in its t.-mi
barbarian stage, was waged in hand
to-hand encounters and ferocious
struggles, the dangers that constant
ly menaced the actors, camera men
and the producer himself, can be
easily appreciated. To care for Pos
sible accidents, Mr. Griffith gave his
warriors the benefit of what their
ancient prototypes never heard of
a modern field hospital, with sur
geons, nurses, stretcher-bearers and
' ambulances. Of the 125,000 men and
I women employed in "The Fall of
Babylon," there were only 67 play
' ers injured, and these only slightly.

V w
vK / s 'f llffi
Miss Francos Starr, whose appearance here is always an event out ol
the ordinary, conies this season with a new play of extraordinary interest,
one that held the compelling interest of the blase New York theatergoer*
for over six months to capacity audiences. It comes here with the Belascc
trademark of the highest ideals of the stage and with the same identical
original cast of distinguished players. Mr. Belaseo always sent the original
cast on tour. Her play, "Tiger, Tiger," written by Captain Edward Knob
lock, while in the trenches in France, is protably the most widely discussed
drama that the New York stage has seen in years. The seat sale opens to
day.

WILLIAM HODGE IX I
"THE GUEST OF HOSiOII"
One of the rpally delightful events!
of the theatrical season in any city, I
is the Rppearancc of that droll come
dian, William Hodge, especially is this
the case when he appears in a new
play. One of these worth-while oc
casions will occur locally at the Or-1
pheum theater for one night only,;
to-morrow, when Lee Shubert Willi
present William Hodge in his brand-1
new p!a,y "The Guest of Honor." It;
is a comedy romance of New York |
life, in three acts. So consistently)
successful have been the several piays j
in which Mr. Hodge has appeared ■
since his phenomenal success in "The
Man From Home," that his legion of (
devoted admirers apparently never]
question in advance the success of
his new plays.
"FRIENDLY ENEMIES
The greatest of all comedy successes
and probably the greatest of all the
atrical successes will be seen in this
city on Friday and Saturday, when A.
If. Woods will present "Friendly
F.nemies," at the Orpheum, for an en
gagement of two days. This remark
able play which has won the endorse
ment of two continents and the Presi
dent ef the United States, is so vital
a part of the theatrical history of
these times that no playgoer who is
at all interested in the theater can
afford to miss it. The seats will be
pieced for sale to-mofrow.
