CHEERS WON AT MAJESTIC "Man From Mexico" Is Laughable Attraction at Peoples, ' "Shore Acres" at Columbia, Sunset and National Charm. Edward Abeles, noted . American comedian, came to the Star" Theater yesterday, in ""Ready Money, a Para mount picture. The picturization, from the play by James Montgomery, is in five acts of more than 320 scenes, marked by rapid action and good acting on the part of an especially fine cast. The cast includes such celeb rities as Bessie Barriscale and Theo dore Roberts, as well as the star. The story of "Ready Money" hinges on the exciting life of Stephen Baird, a young mining engineer, who goes West to seek his fortune in the gold fields. Edward Abeles, as Stephen, has a series of most startling adventures. From the first flash of action on the Screen to the scene which marks the end the film teems with excite ment and humor. This picture will be at the Star Theater for four days.' FIX.M TRAIN AVIXS CHEERS "413" at Majestic Is Startling Story of Tbxllr Type. Seldom 1b a picture ever followed by cheering in these days of over-critical photoplay patrons. The train-wreck scene received a tribute to its realism yesterday when the theater rang with the cheers of the audience. The fea ture "418" is a Vitagraph production, with beautiful Anita Stewart, sup ported by an all-star caet. It is a etory fairly sizzling with excitement. A diamond smuggler and his accom plices are the chief factors. The story of how the girl, unconscious or ner own father's guilt, aids the detective in catching the guilty ones makes the plot one of the best the Majestic has ever shown. Arthur Johnson and Lottie Briscoe, hero and heroine of the "Beloved Ad venturer" series, appear in the ninth Installment in which Lord Cecil "plays the game." Excellent photography marks the film. A George Ade fable and the Hearst- Bellg News Pictorial add attractive variety to the bill. OLD "SHORE ACRES" IS H KltE Favorite Classic Charms at Colum- " ivc" " aret.

BY LEONE CASS BAER. , MAYBE you noticed the long, gray poke of knitting pierced through with bright needles which Ger trude Rhead carries about with her in the second act of "Milestones"? A long, gray, sorrowful-looking poke it is, as colorless and luster-lacking as Ger trude's gray yarn she weaves into a monotonous inch or so every night while she weaves also the story of Gertrudes' forlorn and drab life. Well, whether or not you noted the inter minable knitting, it may interest you to know that it is in the process mak ing of a. sock. When it is ali finished It will be added unto its long gray mate, and put into the box of warm knitted things which- the wjmen of the "Milestones ' company are knit ting for the English soldiers. Florence Born is Gertrude of the play, and, naturally, she is a sock or so and a grand fat muffler ahead of the other women. You see all the other women 'characters in the play, marry and can quarrel with their husbands and argue about their children's mar riages and a lot of other attractive family affairs, but poor Gertrude has to express her soul best in her slt-y-the-fire expression and her knitting. Role Is Adorable One. All of us, who have seen the play. quite adore Gertrude. By far it is the big, fine role among several, and se cretly I rejoice, that she didn't marry Sam. 'Twere better to have loved and lost than be wedded to a Samuel Sibley. We talked It over at consid erable length yesterday. Miss Born and I. She is a big, wholesome English girl, and the rare skin of the Devon shire lass. She has gone Vight into the heart of Gertrude and knows all her mental adjustments. She says she can almost feel her soul take on years and weariness as, Gertrude -makes her transition from rose-colored youth to middle-aged sobriety and on . into colorless old age. W-hether her soul does those things I cannot tell, but I do know that Miss Born's voice and body and her face make the changes. Time writes quick and fast In her dressing-room. Miss Born is an artist In make-up or she never could paint hollows and. pinched spots and sunken lines as she does into her fair, youth ful face. She says that at first she got so In the habit of pursing her lips and assuming the alert, clasped-hand atti tude that she found herself carrying it into her private life. So she quit it. American Husband Wanted. She says she doesn't intend to emu late any of Gertrude's noble sacrifices to ideals, because she intends to marry an American and Americans don't let their women make fools of themselves. Fools of the husband maybe, but never of themselves. She said a lot about Englishmen as husbands which would not pass the censor board on this paper and then she said she was a suffragete, but cer taintly not a militant. I wish English women could get ' :: U 1 5' I -i ' - vi 3f a STr t " i Florence Born, Who aa Gertrude In "Milestones," at the Helllg, Knits Sock for British' Soldiery at Front. things like American women do, by wheedling and coaxing and looking their prettiest all the while they're pleading," she said. "Our women have gone about getting equal franchise in an altogether wrong way. Still, as I said, they have a vastly different sort of men to argue with. American men are so lovely to their wives and mothers and sisters that I've already decided to marry one." "But If Englishmen- aren't the great est successes as husbands. Miss Born things they're the most wonderful he roes as soldiers. She has a brother in South Africa, who is hurrying to Eng land to enlist, and two of the women in the company. Miss Goulden. who plays Rose, and Miss Latimer, who plays Emily, each have three brothers at the. front. They have tea the whole company between acta on mat inee days, back on the stage and ex change news in letters from England about the war. Miss Born says our fog makes her homesick, only that ours is a spotless town sort and theirs Isn't She has that English mania for tramping all over the country and her manager. Bob Evans, says he wishes she d try walk ing from one town to another.- It would cut expenses. The storm scene was taken In a fierce gale on the rugged New England seashore. The duel between the broth ers in the lighthouse, caused by the de termination of one to prevent the other from lighting the-lamps so -that ves sels could be steered clear of the dan gerous reefs, fairly raises the audi ence to its feet. There is no sweeter story of true rural life than that con tained in this production. There is also offered on the bill the Jlst episode of "The Million-Dollar Mystery." The interest In this serial is kept at white heat throughout and paves the way for the final episode. which is the next. This bill will be offered the re mainder of the week.

War between taxlcab companies and drivers which has been waging for months in front of theaters, at the depots and at the wharvea was brought to an end yesterday by the City Coun cil when an ordinance was passed giving every taxicab an equal right to the use of the streets in front of the theaters, wharves, hotels and depots. The measure was passed with an emergency clause which makes It effec tive at once. It prohibits any depot. hotel, wharf or theater management from giving any special rights to any one driver or concern to the use of any street space In front of such places. It also prohibits any taxlcab from standing In front of a hotel, theater, depot or wharf entrance In such man ner as to block the entrance so that another taxicab or automobile cannot drive up and discharge passengers directly In front of the entrance. The ordinance was brought about by an Investigation of taxicab condi tions by Commissioner Daly. It' was asserted by independent concerns that proprietors of depots, wharves, hotels and theaters showed favoritism to cer tain taxlcab concerns to the exclusion of other concerns. Under the new or dinance the spaces where taxlcabs as semble to get passengers will be open to all concerns. The first machine getting into a place will be entitled to that place. ' The measure prohibits taxicab drivers or solicitors from standing in tne way or persons, - grabbing their baggage or soliciting in an objection aDie manner. These . provisions are aimed to do away with the annoyance at depots and wharves and at times at hotels and theaters. Consideration of an ordinance pre sented by Commissioner Daly revising me taxicaD rates and the rates to be charged by sight seeing concerns was put over until next Wednesday, at which time all persons interested will be given an opportunity to speak be- tore tne- council.
