V iXl u n iKe (feotgeTVatsh (suburban) Mary Kmts Mm M inter Maketh Many Socks for Brave Soldiers and Putteth a Cute Red Stripe On ARY MILES MINTER, the leading ingenue of the mo tion picture drama, who has invested $50,000 in Lib erty bonds, is by no means satisfied with that contri M bution to. national defense and con ceives that personal service is the principal thing that counts. Miss Minter, now starred in a new American-Mutual production, "Beauty and the Rogue," which holds forth at the Sun. today and Monday, is one of the most expert knitters in the ranks of picture professionals, her specialty being socks for soldiers. When the Red Cross orders were first issued for the guidance of knitters they speci fied that no colored wools were to be used except those authorized by the Red Cross, but Miss Minter could not resist the temptation, to knit a red band round the purling at the top. Aside from the mild1 violation of rules Miss Minter's socks were splen didly made and after much confab the authorities decided to accept them. Since that time the men in France have shown a decided preference for a bit of color and now Miss Minter's example is being followed by Red Cross knitters all over the country." The new Movie Inn at the Bran deis stores is now completed and ira place that should prove a delight to screen followers. It is located jut off of the green room, on the balcony at the rear of the main floor. Manager Phelps has thoroughly redecorated and rebuilt the place at considerable expense and the screen' atmosphere is well carcied out. AH of the photo graphs are new and the latest poses of the most popular photoplayers are on display. When asked how many pictures had been used, Mr. Phelps 'said: "I endeavored to count them, but there are so many that' I was fairly dizzy before I had barely started." Most of them are hand-colored. At a pre-opening Mr. Phelps invited members of the motion picture industry to be his guests at luncheon. About 25 were present and in the course of the imnromptu Speeches it was declared to "be the best Movie Inn that has ever been seen in any part of the country. Got It at Lust.
