I put my hand on his arm instantly, casually, as if T had been accustomed daily to helping him, and guided him without further words along the path Adams had cleared to the grassy place by the bank.

BF8" by methods which, in the rlier days, would have been consid- ered impracticable—impossible, David Wark Griffith has brought home many truths to the American people in his production, “Hearts of the World,” at Keeney’s theater, One of these, made especially no- | ticeable because of the prominence given to it in the more stirring scenes of this master work, is the fact that thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammunition are hurled at the en- emy without the men who handle the guns actually knowing where the shells will hit. For more than halt | an hour In the unfolding of the story of “Hearts of the World,” the audi- ence is given a glimpse of the newer, modern methods employed. Great guns are shown discharging thelr death-dealing contents in the air, both the distance of the supposed target and the ultimate result of the firing being unknown to those ‘who handle the guns. One of the most realistic scenes in “Hearts of the World" is that show- ing the discharge in rapid succession of a long line of tremendous guns. Mr, Griffith, with remarkable accuracy and a complete understanding of the interest in this particular feature of war, shows the exploding of these shells many miles distant from the place where the guns are firing. The ruthless, appalling devastation result- ing from these bombardments is shown in the remarkable view of the French villages under shell fire. Not only is the setting and firing of the guns shown to the audience, but the bursting of the shells in the heart of the village and the resultant havoc wrought. “The conduct of the war,” explains Mr. Griffith, quite puzzling to the average layman, Men usually expect that there shall be some reasonable excuse for the firing of priceless am- munition. Not so. All the Germans knew that somewhere in some bright and happy Httle home the shell would fall. Somewhere innocent chil- dren would be mowed down in their tracks. The Huns did not stop to count values. Theirs but the brutal, blood-thirsty business of kill- ing, where or whom they knew not, nor did they care, Throughout all thelr activities the Prusslans main- talned this constant bombardment of villages, striking down the inhabl- tants, burning the churches, destroy- was was ! ing everything that might come within ranze of the shells, regardless of whether the destruction would be to their advantage in the conduct of the npaign.’” Truly “cannon have no ey M THEATER. “Lafayette We Come!” That is the name of the blg picture which 18 to he shown at the Lyceum, Thursday, Triday and Saturday of this week.

It is not a war film nor does it In any way picturize the grue- someness of war, but it is one of the biggest and greatest mystery love- dramas ever filmed, and the story it presents is one of mystery and excite- ment.

The war is ove It has been over for some time, Yet its potent influ- ence for good is still to be fell, and will be felt for vears. “The Light,” the Theda Bara super-production which opened today at Fox's, is an after-the-war play and shows how the most wicked and frivolous woman in Paris, after a turbulent career as a breaker of men's hearts, sees a vision through the eyes of a blinded man. The woman whose services had been spurned by aid organizations is reborn through her devotion to a hero.
