Friday night the Eastern Play com
pany will return to the Globe theatre
lor a three days' engagement. The
opening play, "Not Guilty" is without
doubt one of the greatest successes

years.
The action of the play makes a
strong and thrilling plea for better

only one law on the statute books,
there is in reality two, one for the

While the play ha a a strong dra

comedy moments.

"Milestones of Life," the four reel

Valeska Surntt, Stan of "The Soul of
1 Broadway,"
Valeska Suratt, the most discussed
woman of the stage or screen, who

is, as is known to theatregoer the
cnuntry'over, the fashion-plate of the
druinatie profession. Her gownt have
made millions gasp by their beauty
mid daring ns well as by their itazling
lavishnesf of design. In making her
sciccn debut in "The Soul of Broad
way," the latest-of the great Wifll.iin
Fox pliotodram.'s, Miss Surattt bus
outdone all her previous efforts in
gowns and millinery, fashioned by
famous modiste.
In all she wears 1M) gowns, some
daringly and liniiiuly simple: others
that arc ralculated to make the femi
nine portion of her spectators break
into astonished ex. tarnations w hen
they see them. It is estimated that ill
the course of "The Soul of Broadway"
Miss Surattt cliaugrs her garments
with every forty feet of film. Many of
them arc designed to match the "sets"
of "The Soul of Broadway." which
latter in themselves arc quite unlike
anything yet seen in a motion picture,
and were especially deigned for Wil
liam Fox by a celebrated artist nf the
ultra-modern school.
