I Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock
I was "Moving Picture Exhibitors' '
I morning to witness the first presenta
tion of the Artcraft Pictures Corpor
lation's latest film, George M. Cohan
in "Broadway Jor.es."
! When the barrier wtnt up there ap
i peared an Amorican flag with the
comedian poking his I
ihan, whether he is on the stage, on
the street or on the screen, and this
'moving picture has stamped him the
greatest artist in the world.
It has waited until .uarcn iv, n,
for us to witness a comedy film where
no acrobatic actions or low degrading
comedv of directorship is introduced.
Here is a full fledged comedy played
by our own American George Cohan
in the most fascinating manner, with
out stooping to antics which the aver-
'age human being could never do.

the start for the big applause. Then,an very funny), but "Broadway

great play which made a sensation in

"Broadway Jones" in pictures Is
George Cohan from beginning to end,
ar.d yon know what that means:
Jump, fire, bing, bang, biff, shoot,
rush, off and on, action, action, action.
The camera man who turned the
crank to take the picture certainly
did some turning, for, although Joseph
Kaufman directed the picture for
George Cohan, believe me, Kaufman
Wtiaw Cnhnn nnrl knew how Cohan
! acts, and how fast directorship has
got to be to satisfy this marvel of the
theatrical age.

Bernhardt. Within the past year ho
has made himself one of the most pop
ular photodramatic sturs by his splen
did personality ami his artistic and
sincere performances.
In "The Black Wolf" Mr. Tellegen
is seen in a chaiacter entirely differ
ent from anything in which he has
heretofore appeared, and in a role to
which he is exactly suited. The Black
Wolf is a bandit with his hiding
place in the Spanish mountains. He
is a friend and benefactor to the poor
but has a price placed on his head by
tho duke of ft particular district in
which he operates. The duke tries to
win the hand of his Chancellor's
daughter, but she, chancing to meet
the Black Wolf, falls in love with
him.
One night the Black Wolf is cap
tured in her garden and sentenced to
be executed. By her promise to
marry him, the daughter of the
Chancellor secures the duke's consent
to pardon the Black Wolf, uncon
scious of the fact, that if a pardon is
granted ho must become a slave to
the duke.
How the Black Wolf turns the tab
les, deposes the duke ,and is himself
hniled in his place, is nearly assas
sinated, but is finally able to marry
tho girl ho loves, is depicted in n most
unprecedented manner.
For his leading woman in this pho
todrama, Mr. Tellegen has Nell Ship
man, the clever photodramatic star
who is well known to lovers of tho
photoplay. Others in the cast aro
James Neill, Paul Weigel and H. J.
Herbert. The production was made
tor the Lasky company under the
Fire Saturday Night.
The fire depaitment was called out
Saturday night at 10:50 to the Stand

found blazing. The fire was cnused
by a defect in the furnace under the
loiler nnd the fire had crept up to
the roof.
About $25 damage was clone to the
brick building and none to the con
tents. Tho alarm was turned in by
Night Policeman Weagle from Box

and there was a feeling liko a heavy
weight pressing on hor stomach and

and felt worn out a good part of the

American Woman Builds Up Institution Solely To Keep
Poor But Respectable Old Women Out of the Poor
House Great Demands For Knit Goods Supplied
Feeble Underfed Women Rescued.
BY J. W. r-EGLER.
(United Press SUIT Correspondent.)
Uiulon, March i!0. (By Mail)
After a two year duel with poverty,
Mrs. Charlotte Jenkins, member of a
pioneer Minneapolis family, has
managed to skewer the lean Spectre
of want to the old reliable knitting
nesdle. The War Relief Knitting
factory which struggled into being as
a result of her initiative has become
self-supporting. Hereafter it will es
say to toddle along on its own finan
cial support, though random donations
will not be discouraged. Guaranteed
aid from the economic relief commit
tee has been withdrawn. To appre
ciate what Mrs. Jenkins has done it is
necessary first to understand Isling
ton, tho poorest of London's bor
oughs, where an American woman has
created an institution to keep out of
the poor house poor but respectable
old women. Thus the knitting fac
tory can hardly be called an infant in
dustry. Islington's directory used to
contain a liberal sprinkling of noble
lords and such. , Their mansions are
still there, decayed and long since de
prived of their earlier grandeur. For
many years Islington has been the
home of poor working people. Nearly
all its women worked in neighborhood
factories making nonessential wares.
These closed when war began. Mrs.
Jenkins knew these women included
many invalids and aged who couldn't
possibly "go in for munitions:" and
who would wind up their troubles in
the poor house unless someone did
something. Sho asked for $250 from
the American Women's War Relief
Committee nnd got it. Investigation
showed n vigorous demand for knit
goods. Within a week the knitting
factory began in one room, with a
handful of feeble, underfed old women
making socks for soldiers. Today the
visitor finds the factory' occupying an
old mansion in one of those gloomy
little sidestreets. The Minneapolis
poverty strafer sits nt a desk with
card indexes climbing the walls behind
her. These records, she explains, are
merely a formality because she knows
the particular grief of every worker.
Upstaris in tho workroom five knit
ting machines hum and chatter on a
rush older for Ii00 little jerseys for
Belgian kids. But there are still sol
diers and refugees pr.rtial to the old
fashioned handmade kind, so tho little
old women seated around in corners
manage to keep comfortably busy.
"Every worker gets $2.50 for a full
week's work'' said Mrs. Jenkins today,
'though some of the hand workers are
very slow and cannot possible earn
that much. We serve a good dinner
for four cents and ten, free, so they
are p.bie to get along on their pay.
Naturally, their other expenses are
light. Handmade goods always sell
at a slight loss, but this is made up
by the large machine production.
"Amorican frbnds have shipped us
bales of clothing, some of it as good
as new, which I distribute as it is
'needed. My mother even sent money
'and clothing frcm Honolulu. Our
j friends are widely scattered.
! "The factory just had to go on,
'once started. One of my knitters is
' a university gTaduate, the daughter of
!a minister, who was left alone when
her brother went down on the Titanic.
. She is nearly blind and wears the
thickest , glasses I ever saw. Of
course she cannot do much work but
she is everlastingly trying and that is
all that counts. Could I let her go?
She can't do anything else. There are
others in the same fix."
From the National Food Fund the
flaetorv receives meat, bread, sugar,
tea and butter. This makes the four
cent dinner possible. The money pays
for vegetables and milk.
Ovor 16,403 sweaters, -pairs of
socks, mittens and children's suits
went to Belgium and France last year
from the withered, toil worn hands
that proved so willing to work when
the chance came. Not even scraps of
wool were wasted. They made rugs
for military hospitals.
Tho factory doesn't exactly throb
with industry. But thirty old nnd for
gotten souls, thirty bodies tossed on
the industrial scrap heap, are kept
out of the dire misery of an English
poor house.
Paddy Bussy has returned from an . Rheumatic I'nins Relieved,
extended visit in California. He says "I hnve used Chamberlain's I.ini
there is no place like Ki Grande and ' ment for pains in the chest nnd lnme
ho is glad to be back nnd see his old ' ness of the shoulders duo to rhcumn
pioneer friends, and his friends are tism, and am pleased to say that it
nil glad to see him, especially the chil- j has never fnibd to give me prompt
dren, as he is known as the children's relief," writes Mrs. S. N. Finch, Ba
