and tremendoua dramatic power.
Mir. Ulackwell appear In tn part of
the young newspaper editor who fulfill
hi resolve to print nothing but the
truth to the point of ei posing til fath
er' fraudulent practices and estranging
himself from the girl he love. The great

ralda are depu ted, nictor chasing th
smugglers along the waterfront and tn
the underworld; In fact, each picture I
filled to the brim with excitement.
Incidentally a love story runs through
the drams. In which the wife of a aValthy
man la won over to the use of the drug.
and nearly to the extent of leaving him.

PICTURE THEATER AND
LUNCH ROOM COMBINED
A unique experiment In' the moving
picture field haa just been made by
Sander W. Hart, a capitalist and real
estate owner. In th Winchester theater
In New Haven.
I'nuaual condition prevailed in the
neighborhood of the theater, which ad
join th large, factorlea of th Winches
ter Repeating Arm company on Win
chester avenue. The 15.000 employe of j
th factory ar cramped for room to
din or In which to eat th lunches which
ar carried, not bought, by thousand.
Mr. Hart conceived the Idea of erecting
a theater which should be devoted as
one essential to the entertainment during
the noon hour of the Winchester em
ployes. Her they can watch th pic
ture and eat their lunches at th same
time. Ko far hi project ha been amply
justified by the crowds which have
visited the theater.

stunts.
Many a film hero looka like he needed
a mustard plaster.

Southern California will runtlnue in

In tli fnllnwlnif words Mr. I.nky
voices his sentiments In this respect:
"'ne stars from nroauway, often
flrd it a dlr limit tank to nrljust them
selves to their new conditions. In the
legitimate thenter the actor worhs at
night or. at the earliest, at the matinee
performance, under artificial lights.
"In motion picture work, however, the
mnn or woman star must sui.nilt his or
her features to the scrutinizing glare of
the bright sunshine. This may seem a
small point, but It la one that cannot
Ne over-emphaslxed, because when staare
stars are in Lo Angeles they are far
removed from the temptations of Broad
way or ita night life, and so retire
earlier, get more sleep, and consequently
look better In the morning.
"It often happens that within one day
the producer haa taken photographs of
deserts, cotton field, fruit ranches, fron
tier scenes In small western towns. Span
ish missions, sunken gardens, tropical
foliage, exact reproductions of the Bay
of Manlco, the cliffs of England, a

"But What would you do for a New

Laaky was asked.
