ARC A DE TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA" OS A WONDERFUL PICTURE. Glimpses of Life Under the Sea, the Pictures of the Submarines Make One Realize the Wonders of the U-Boats Now Terrorizing Two Continents. When Jules Verne charmed the youth of two worlds with his fantas tis and imaginary tales of a kingdom underneath the sea it was presumed he had no idea his own fairy creation ever would or could be visualized. His fascinated readers dreamed of heroes like the dauntless Captain Nemo, but their wildest flights of fancy did not permit them to hold any hope of see ing their beloved fiction characters alive and really existing underneath. All things aside from the genuine enjoyment of this undersea drama have combined to make "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" a timely motion picture of the year. First, the European war, which has made the invention of submarines a subject of paramount interest, fol lowed by other sea adventures un paralleled in history, and then the depredations of U-63 within the last few days upon our own coast. The submarine in the picture brings home the terror to the civ ilized world of a pitiless sea mon ster. After vessels have been at tacked without mercy in midsea, the United States sends a boat in search of this beast of the ocean. It is dur ing the civil war, and the good ship which carries these brave men is the Abraham Lincoln. After their capture by Captain Nemo and their imprisonment on the submarine, the wonders of the sea are presented in a lavish manner. The mnrino gardens, sharks, an octopus and other marvelous things that here tofore have existed for us only in fic tion are conjured upon a screen, and we gaze appalled at things which Captain Nemo tells us God never meant man to see. ' ford a chance for the inimitable touches of humor and real boy-life of which he is past master. Those who !saw him as "William," hero of the photoplay adaptation of Booth Tark ingtoit's celebrated novel "Seventeen" and as "Pip" in Dickens' "Great Ex pectations," remember his work with pleasure, and in "The Dummy" he has excelled even these records. Suppose you were a small boy ex ceedingly fond of detective stories, so fond, in fact, 'that the people for I whom you worked decided that you cared more about detectives than you did for working and showed you the door, i If there, when you were out of work and not very sure of the next bite to eat, you had a chance to work for a real, sure 'nuff detective what would you do ? You'd probably do just what Jack Pickford does in "The Dummy." Don't miss it! Tuesday only. Whatever faults of construction there may be in this eight-reel sub marine drama, or whatever lapses in production, everything is quite for gotten in the thrill of peeping be neath the water. Children whoso imaginations still run riot without the curb of bitter reality will adore this fairy moving picture. Grown chil dren who love to let their fancy roam whenever it is possible will also take the adventurous and brave Captain Nemo to their hearts. "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sen" is a drama of the sea rather than a drama of people. The actors, it is true, figure prominently. Allen Holubar is Captain Nemo, Jane Gail the child of Prince Danker the mys terious child of nature whose identity is kept a secret until the end of the chapter nnd Matthew Moore as Cap tain Bond. Allen Holubar makes the old sea pirate a remarkable charac ter study. Matthew Moore registers quite apart from his two brothers, Tom and Owen, but it is the revela tion the sea brings to us that fills the mind and crowds Into the back ground the players. The proper food for one may be all wrong for another. Every one should adopt a diet suited to his age and oc cupation. Those who have weak stom achs need to be especially careful and should eat slowly and masticate their food thoroughly. It is also important that they keep their bowels regular. When they become constipated or when they feel dull and stupid after eating, they should take Chamber lain's Tablets to strengthen the stom ach and move the bowels. They are easy to take and pleasant in effect. Adv.
