Marne Battlefield and Den of Apaches
Seen in "The Black Butterfly."
Many striking scenic" efforts are
shown in the .Metro production, "The
Black Butterfly," with Mme Petrova
as star, which will bo seen at the
(Sherry theater nero the last time to
I night.
One of the most remarkable is a
reproduction of a den of Paris Apach
es which Mme. Petrova herself, with
the aid of her camera-man, Andre
Barlatier, staged and directed. The
scene represented is the famous Cav
eau, where Apaches und their frigo
lettcs drink, dine and dance. Real
Apache dancing is given by artists of
the first rank and every dcU-.il of the
scene is carried out with absolute ac
curacy and realism.
In this reproduction of the Caveau,
the room is filled with rough wooden
tables, about which are seated the
Apaches and their sweethearts. The
gray walls of the cafes are covered
with chalk mark drawing and inscrip
tions in French and in the argot of
the quarter, and on one side is a

roughly drawn casket. Into this sordid
scene steps Mme Petrova, looking like
a lily shining in c cellar.
An infprpstinir feature of the pro
duction is that Mme. Petrova, playing
the double role or a r.iotner ana aaugn
ter, slowly crosses the room and
standing with her arms resting on the
back of a chair, talks to herself; as
h mnthpr. enscorced in its recesses.
This unusual double exposure is a
unique achievement m tne History oi
the motion picture, and it is a distinct
triumph to Camera-man Barlatier.

"THE MARTYRDOM OF PHILIP
STRONG"; ARCADE THEATER
Two notable contributions to litera
ture were "In His Steps" and "The
Crucifixion of Philip Strong," by the
Reverend Charles M. Sheldon, which
created a profound impression at the
time of their publication. With these
two great stories as a basis, a photo
play has been produced called "The
Martyrdom of Philip Strong," featur
ing Robert Conncss and Mabel Trun
nellc. It is the Paramount picture at
the Arcade theater today and tomor-

ana nis uiougncs are oi me worm.
Under the guidance of Spirit of Man,
Philip Strong visits the slums and
sees sights of misery and suffering
which he had never even known
to exist. Then awakening to the
utter sham of his own life, Strong
dedicates himself to the alleviation of
the suffering of the poor and the ig
norant.
: But he has recokoned without his
wife and her very worldly mother.
When Strong brings home a poor lit
tle child oi tne slums so tnat ne may
take personal care of her, his wife
refuses to permit their daughter to
associate with the stranger and pro
tests violently against even admitting
her to the house. Goaded on by her
mother, Mrs. Strong finally leaves the
home and her husband gradually

Philip Strong is the pastor of a
wealthy congregation and is content
j with prenching clover sermons to his
, flock until Brother Man, symbolizing
the Spirit of Christ on earth, points
I out to him the fact that his whole life
is n lie. He is not living in the spirit
spends nil his time in the slums.
Strong's activities against the un
derworld forces soon bring him into
personal contact with some of his own
parishioners who own the property
on which saloons and other undesir
able places nre located. Failing to
dissuade him from his crusade against
them, they resort to violence and this
fact awakens the latent better self in
Mrs. Strong who ropents of her ac
tion. But it is too late, for the great
soul of the man was stronger than his
body, which has collapsed under the
frightful strain to which it has been
subjected.

' A Chemical Chimney Sweep Something New
Ho you know that the soot on the inside of a fur
nace or stove and chimney increases daily until it
forms a crust which is almost heat and fire proof and
that eventually almost half of the heat value of the
fuel is wasted 'and lost in getting through this crust.
The draught is poor and it is impossible to get re
sults. A chimney sweep will clean out this sooty crust
for two or three dollars and make a lot of work, dirt
and muss, and yet it is worth it if you can't get it
done any other way.
However, one package of "Zip," a chemical com
pound, wll accomplish the same result in five minu
tes without work or dirt.
