Y.M.C.A. SENDS MOVIES
TO BATH TUB PATIENTS
London, Dec. 19. A moving pic
ture audience In bath tubs through
which warm water flows is the en
tertainment oddity provided In the
film shows by the American Y. M. C.
A. at the hospital under the shad
ows of King's College, Cambridge,
where wounded men from France
are treated. In one ward certain of
the putients who have had very ser
ious septic wounds, are having the
wcter treatment.
To look at these men you might
think they were lying comfortably in
btd. propped up with pillows. They
are really sitting in bath tuhs in
water to their waists. A constant
stream of water with a temperature
of 9S is kept running through the
tub. purifying and cleansing the
wounds, which have no other dress-In-'.
A kind of magnified lap-board
(overt, tie top of the tub and Is In
turn co' ' ri'd by a long, bright patch
fiilt. And there the men pit on air
cushion. leaning against air pillows
day an ! night, sometimes for weeks
at a tii.;e. Only the most serious of
thi ca:c-s are put Into these tubs,
nun who otherwise have little chance
of recovery and none without the
amputation of a limb. But never yet
has a case so treated been lost.
"It's beastly .iinromfortable the
first week." paid the record case of
the ward, a British Tommy who has
tor eleven weekB been In the bath.
"Your legs ache, and you have the
water rash. But In a week, at the
most, you get over that, and then It
Is more comfortable than being In
bed. In fact, after they put yon
back in bed you can't sleep for
awhile, It's so hard."
The American T. M. C. A. hat
been sending these men "movies"
twice a week. A screen has been
arranged at one end of the room and
there all the screen favorites play
their parts while the men sit com
fortably In their warm tubs. And
when the show la over all they have
to do la to turn out the lights and
go to aleep.

In a lotter to Klrhard How land President of Metro Picture, Has:'
"I cannot refrain from writing you regarding tho wonderful suc
cess attained by Mme. Nazlmova in "Toys of Fate" which opened
here at the Strand Theater last Sunday.
I thought "Revelation" a great picture, but unquestionably In my
mind this will meet with even greater success, owing to its tre
mendous appeal to the masses.
Nazlmova Is a marvelous star, and exhibitors everywhere should
make every effort to book this production."
