Ik-viewed by Thomas C. Kennedy in Motography A Rood sound drama, capitally pro duced and finely enacted. All this may be freely said of "The Storm," a play by Beatrice C. Do Mille, and which will bo presented at the Ar cade today and tomorrow. Miss De Mille's scenario compels admiration, for it presents situations which aro tinctured with a bit of orig inality, the characters are human and the general effectiveness of the con struction is, indeed, something over which to grow enthusiastic. The central churacter is a young girl who lives in a cottage near n secluded lake with her studious and absent-minded father, an ex-college professor. At the beginning of the play a thcologicul student who is camping at the lake receives a letter from the bishop advising him of his nearness to an old friend who has re tired from active work and is living at the lake. The daughter is being brought up a pagan and the bishop hopes Avery will seek her out and open her eyes to the beauties of reli gion. Avery and Natalie meet often, the topic of thoir conversation being reli gion. But one of these meetings reaches a disastrous conclusion. For both, whilo stranded on a smnll islnnd during a storm, succumb to an impulse having its birth in their strong at traction for each other. Before they leave the island Avery proposes mar riage but it is evident thnt he docs not love Natalie and she refuses to accept his viewpoint, claiming she would feel herself guilty of n contin uance of the wrong were she to marry him when there is no love. The following year Avery's close friend, a millionaire, goes to the lake for a few days' outing. But the days stretch into weeks because Fielding has developed a deep affection for Natalie. He asks her to marry him and though she hesitates long, the persistence of Fielding and love itself, persuade her to accept. News of this forthcoming marriage brings Avery to the lake. Fielding proposes that the marriage take place the follow ing day and that Avery perform the ceremony. In a scene with Natalie that night Avery is not only unsuc cessful in trying to force Natalie to draw back but he is driven by her to agree to perform the marriage serv ice. At the ceremony, however, Na talie breaks under the strain and she relates the circumstances of her one transgression. Naturally, Fielding is stunned ibut his recovery is quick and he commands Avery to proceed with the service. i The story loses much in bein printed as it is above, for it is not possible to add the touches contrib uted by a director who makes evi dent his marked ability in the visual ization of every scene and players of such experience and talents as Miss Blanche Sweet, Theodore Roberts, Thomas Meighan and Richard Ster ling. Miss Sweet's Natalie is the best thing we hnve seen her do in a long while. As for Mr. Roberts, one can only fall back on superlatives in nn endeavor to describe his delightful and life-giving characterization. Thos. Meighan is at his own admirable best as Robert Fielding and Richard Ster ling is most effective as Avery. "The Storm" is an excellent drama. Of this there can be no doubt and its real worth will be proved when its public is given the opportunity to see the picture.

Jefferson Ave., One Block East of Depot Fone Main 10 Sherry's Last Showing Today. John W. Noble, West Point man, and former lieutenant in the United States army, directed "The Brand of Cowardice," the stirring Mexican bor der play with Lionel Barrymore and Grace Valentine as co-stars, which will be the five-reel Mctro-Rolfe fea ture here ut the Sherry theatre, last time today. The play calls for much precision as to military life and Mr. Noble sup plied this necessary element. Anyone who has a knowledge of army life knows that when a regular soldier is drilling under a West Pointer, that soldier is all attention from start to finish. If he isn't well, something happens. Similar conditions prevail ed when "The Brand of Cowardice"' was produced under the direction of Mr. Noble. Everything was "atten tion," from beginning to end' and the result is a screen production of un usual quality. Mr. Noble, who supervised and di rected the great Metro screen master piece, "Romeo and Juliet," entered West Point at the close of his high school days, went into the army and was a lieutenant in the Spanish American war. He was wounded while fighting in the Phillipines, where he served with great credit. The destruction of grasshopper eggs by fall plowing, disking, and harrow ing is recommended when practicable.

PAGE'S RESIGNATION DENIED BY LANSING. Washington, Dec. 11. (United Press) The Whitehouse has refused to comment on rumors that Walter Hines Page, ambassador to Britain, will resign. Secretary of State Lan sing said: "Never heard it. There never was any such indication." It was known for several months Page has decided to return to his private business but disliked to resign fear ing it would cause the administration embarrassment. Limestone soils in general are par ticularly well suited to alfalfa, but even such lands are frequently acid and require liming to grow this crop successfully. Advertised Letters.
