Marie Doro'i First Appearance in Morion Picture, in Her Greatest Stage Success "The Morals of Marcua" That celebrated and popular young star. Marie Doro. one of the moat charming actresee* of the contemporary stage, makes her debut before the morion picture camera in the Famous Players Film Company's five part film adaptation of her foremost stage success, "The Morals of Marcus." by William J. Locke, produced on the stage by Charles Frohman. Miss Doro's gifted impersonation of Carolotta, the refugee from the Turkish harem, is the nearest approach to hypnotism from the screen that one cogo . imagine. She holds the audience spellbound under the witchery of her amaz"fhT her grace and personality, and aided by the fascinating character she portrays, she captivates her audience and sends thrill after thrill sneaking down its collective spine. The entire supporting cast is exceptionally well chosen, and in connection , witn the elaborate settings contributes ' to a production unique in its pretentious value as a screen offering. ' "The Morals of Marcus' as a phot • play will not only serve to provide a 1 pleasant evening, but will create one of the most wholesome memories possible p to theatregoers. It deserves to rank with the foremost productions yet re- : leased by the Famous Players Film ComI pany, and gives the Paramount Pro- - • ' gram, under whose banner it is released. ( ' a nuw and important signilcance as the most dignified program of feature films in the world. This attractive subject will be th". main attraction at the Percy Strceri Theatre, on Monday, December 27th. j HIGH SCHOOLS IN 1364. Poland bad schools and an academy as far back as 1364. or over one hundred years before America was discovered, and that is the reason she was able to rear such men as Kochanowski, Copernicus and others. Schools " were opened with the intro- , duction of Christianity into Poland . • They were connected with the church, land hence their name' of parish, convent and eathdral schools. The teachers were I clergymen only. The higher schools of ' • learning consisted of two grades ; the lower known as the Tririum. which ! comprised a three year study in gram- ' j mar. rhetoric and dialectics and the higher, called the Quadrivium, which 1 embraced four years' work in arithme- | tic. geometry, astrology and music, j later more subjects were introduced . ] | Students completing the two courses ] (usually went to the centers of learning (| lin Germany and France. — Stanley A. !, Karwata, in "Free Poland." r Samuel lrede'l.

These seals, selling at ONE CENT EACH, are the money getters in the fight against tuberculosis. They have been the means of supplying visiting nurses who assist the afflicted, of equipping dispensaries or clinics where pctrients unable to pay may be examined free of eharge, of supporting day camps or open air schools where anaemic and tuberculous children may continue their studies with the right kind of food and air, of distributing literature or giving educational lectures, of supplying milk and eggs or other food those patients unable to purchase the same, or assisting a patient in getting the proper clothing to go to some public sanatorium for treatment. A t

large proportion of the 20,000 cases estimated in the State have been reached in one or more of these various ways. The New Jersey Anti -Tuberculosis , u League of Newark, N. J„ is the State 1 b Agent for these Red Cross Christmas 1 Seals and has already secured six and j one-beH million for distribution over the 1 - State, a large proportion of these going - to local societies in the different com- , m unities.

One begins * > surmise that Mr. Justice Hughes would rather be justice than r. president. e Philadelphia has once more both its pets, the liberty bell and Boia Penrose. There is less crime in Britain as a result of the war. But there is more - war. Now won't some other philanthropist organize a peace ship for Mexico? That Mascott squirrel delivered to the 0 lord Party just before sailing certainly won't- go hungry. t What has become of the old-fashioned women who used to wear men's collars and cravats? n A Cincinnati woman says thouss ands have died from kissing. O death, t where is thy sting. s It will be news to a lot of people that • Follette left any American ships for the British to seise. ° IWe see by the papers that another munitions plant has just boohed a 91,000,000,000 order of mysterious explosives. s _____ >, We can stand almost any kind of man. e But the fellow who gives you a hand - hke a limp fish to snake ignt , ne of them. Another pathetic little feature of f every day life is the way a woman ale ways want $1.25 for something right away. f A 35 -year-old dame can drop five years 1 from her age and fool most of the men. g But she -eair't fool the other women. The crew of the Chinese eruiaeer > Cliang-Ho has mutinied. We aren't' f 'he only nation having trouble with its 2 l.y 1 Inmates . , The session -tff~Congrtse began norroally. Champ Clark was elected speaker and Aaron P. Prioleau contested some' I body's seat. ^ ' / ! 'his war has to answer for is taking 1 the birth rate. Among the other sins this was has to answer for is taking ' the pop out of population. No wonder T. R. and "Billy" Sunday denonnee the Ford trip so bitterly, as it has crowded them off the front page back among the liver pill ads. Its strange nobody ever thought of sending one of those peace ships to viharleston in 1S61. If Lord Derby really wants a big ie-' cruiting boom, cant he arrange for another Zqp visit German plotters who are long on initiative will find Uncle Sam the -amc way on recall. Anyway American ships can --'.ill sail the Mississippi ar.d Great Lakes .vv th impunity. YouVe got to give Servia this mu.Ji credit. She doesn't explain that she retreated for strategic purposes. Greece has an alluring seaooast/for. enemy'.. But look at our own. One also wonders what is the South American preparedness progxam. Now is the time for Macedonia to produce another Alexander the Great. Everybody seems perfectly wiring to his neighbor join' that proposed continental army. Santa daus will ae usual, be strictly neutral. No belligerent should interfere with his traffic. Possibly Mayor Thompson of Chicago would rather be "czar" in his own home town than a mere president of all these United States. There are the reegulsr philanthropists and then there are those considerate souls, the early Christmas shoppers. HAVE YOU BEEN SICK? Then you realize the utter weakness that robs ambition, destroy* appetite, and makes work a burden. To restore that strength and stamina that so essential, nothing has ever equaled compared with Scott's Emulsion, because its strength - sustaining nourishment invigorates the blood to distribute energy throughout the body while its tonic value sharpens the appetite and restore* health in a natural, permanent way. If yon are run down, tired, nervous, overworked or lsck strength, get Scott's Bmnlsiontavdsy. It isfcee km alcohol. ■mttABswM.aBMM4.MJ. •
