Queen Theater.
"Graustark,” six-act Essanay picturi-
zation of the famous novel by George -
Barr McCutcheon, with Francis X.
Bushman and Beverly Bayne in the
leading roles, programmed at the Queen
three days, beginning yesterday, is the
first offering by the Essanay com-
pany in conjunction with Vitagraph,
Lubin and Selig, in the new "old mas-
ters” program, offering motion pic-
ture patrons a series of pictures that
have never been equaled in the annals
of moving picture history, says the
Queen management.
Most everybody has read "Graustark”
and knows the fascinating and com-
pelling qualties of the prince and
princess, both American, who became
king and queen in a land of fantasy.
There are but few compaines whose
steady forward progress in both tech-
nical and artistic directions has been
more clearly marked than Essany. Year
after year this firm has been adding
to its technical equipment and increas-
ing its artistic facility, until now its
output has a general excellence. One
of the oldest producing compaines in
America, its success has its foundation
in a record of long, earnest and un-
faltering endeavor.

Amsterdam, May 17.—The women of
Brussels carry baskets on their arms
like market women when they go out
in the streets, not for their purchases,
but as a buffer between themselves
and passing Germans. When one mikes
a German step off the walk, she re-
gards if as a personal triumph.
The silent boycott of the Germans
by the Belgians is even more openly
maintained than ever, according to a
traveler who has lately lived in the
capital city. If a German sits down at
a table in a cafe, the Belgian: in his
vicinity move away. If a number of
Germans enter, all of the Belgians pay
their accounts and stalk out. The
traveler relates this incident which he
witnessed:
A German officer, evidently of high
rank, entered a restaurant and, after
looking over the card, asked the waiter
discontentedly, "Haben Sie nichts bes-
ser?”
The waiter, in a sarcastic tone, ex-
plained they had nothing better be-
cause the German government had
seized most of the food and very little
was coming in except on the American
relief ships.
A group of young Belgians nearby
laughed openly at the waiter’s sar-
casm, whereupon the German,' offend-
ed, gave his card to the waiter to
hand to them. The card bore the name
of a general. But instead of being
Best Theater.
A five-acth picturization of Charles E.
Van Loan’s famous story, “Little Sun-
set,” produced by Bosworth, Inc., and
released under the Paramount program,
is the feature today and tomorrow at
the Best theater.
Gordon Griffith, a celebrated child
actor, is starring in the title role—a
comic, peppery, keen-witted small boy,
who became a bat boy and mascot on
a major league team. The story, which
was written by the famous author and
snorting expert, is based upon the
friendship which developed between
this little individual and a nationally
famous baseball player.
Little John Wesley Jones is topped
off with a lurid shock of bright red
hair whose glow gains him the nick-
name of “Little Sunset,” and he lives
quite up to his name. He is exactly
the comic, fiery, free-fisted bantam one
expects him to be, and he is a genuine
“kid” with everybody liking him. Lit-
tle Sunset’s father is a star shortstop,
who has come up from the semi-pro
ranks and the bush league until he
gets into the American association, and
from there he lands in the big league,
the goal of every player. The story
relates the friendship between the lit-
tle mascot and “The Terrible Swede,”
one of the big league batters, which
grew and grew, until it was eventually
the means of saving the pennant for
the team. but this is all in the play
and must be seen to be appreciated to
the best advantage.

London, May 17.—The renewed at-
tempts of the Germans to break
through the British lines near Ypres on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last—-
there being only artillery engagements
on the last named day—are discovered
by the official observer attached to
the British headquarters in the field
in the following narrative:
“On Monday, the 10th, the fighting
on our front was confined to the Ypres
salient.
“After the enemy’s artillery had done
its worst—the bombardment being the
most violent up till now experienced
on that portion of the front—the Ger-
mans brought their gas cylinders into
play. Half an hour later, having al-
lowed time for the gas to produce its
expected result, their infantry advanced
to the assault of our trenches, held, as
they thought, by stupefied or dead
men. Unluckily for them, however,
on this occasion their methods of
frightfulness went astray somewhere,
for our men were provided with meas-
part Thanhouser drama, wherein it ap-
pears that the devil is not always so
black as he is painted, and featuring
Ernest Ward and Florence LaBadie;
also, “Her Grandparents,” Majestic, is
included in the offering today at the
Crystal No. 1 theater.
In “Her Grandparents,” Dorothy Gish,
the popular screen actress, is starred
in an,appealing role.
Dorothy is in love with Bob, the
boy-of-all-work in the store, where
she is employed at the notion coun-
ter. A flashy drummer, however, man-
ages to captivate her with alluring de-
scriptions of the city. She consents to
go with him to New York, where he
has promised to get her a position in
a department store. That evening Dor-
othy arrives at the depot before the
drummer. Worn out with excitement,
she falls asleep. She dreams of .many
evils befalling her grandparents if she
deserts them, for she is their sole sup-
port. Her nightmare awakens her—to
find the drummer standing over her.
Angered at her change of mind, he
tries to force her to board the train.

Rex Theater.
The management of the Rex theater
have announced that they have suc-
ceeded in securing a week’s bill which
includes some magnificent feature
films, including the following:
Monday: “The Valley of Humilia-
tion,” a two-part Vitagraph drama;
“The Matrimonial Boomerang,” Selig
comedy, and Charles Chaplin in a lively
comedy bill, "His New Job.”
Tuesday—“The Quest,” one of the
famous Mutual Masterpiece productions
with an all-star cast, containing Harry
Pollard, Lucille Ward, Joseph E. Single-
ton, Nan Christy, Margarita Fischer,
Robyn Adair and William Carroll. The
story concerns a man’s search for his
dream girl, and how he found her.
Wednesday—“Mr. Jarr and the Dachs-
hund,” a clever Vitagraph comedy;
“Across the Desert,” a Selig drama, and
' “Chinks and Chickens,” Edison comedy.
Thursday—“The Lure of Mammon,”
Crystal Vaudeville.
"The Oaklawn Handicap,” a Bison
feature drama in two reels with Wil-
liam Clifford and Marie Walcamp, and
“Love, Fileworks and the Janitor,” a
Joker comedy, with Roy McCray and
Bertha Burnham, is the bill today at
the Crystal Vaudeville theater.
Real race track scenes, filmed at As-
cot Park, Los Angeles, feature in the
H. G. Stafford’s drama.
During the production of “The Oak-
lawn Handicap,” the company learned
that a series of horse-races, which they
had intended to fake, were to be run
at Ascot Park, Los Angeles. They
were informed, however, that no mov-
ins picture cameras would be allowed
within the race track grounds. Di-
rector McRae, however, entered a horse
in the event and then was granted the
picture concession. The following day
the company appeared on the scene
with their camera and outfit. Dr. Staf-
ford was chosen to act as jockey? At
the start of the race the crowd started
forward and blocked the scene. Tom
Walsh, Sherman Bainbridge and Red
Roselli thereupon started a “prop
fight.” The crowd immediately swarm-
ed over to see the altercation and
enabled the cameraman to get his pic-
tures.

STRANGE SCENE.
Kittie, the maid ...... Maude Clark
In the opening scene, Casey, who
started to the ball game and has stayed
out all night, returns to his home,
bringing a stranger about whom he
knows nothing, with him. It is his
effort to explain to his wife that he
has just joined a secret organization
and has just been initiated, tht gets
him into trobule. As he gets well un-
der way with his explanations, the res-
taurant proprietor arrives on the scene,
and presents a big bill for entertain-
ment furnished the night before. Be-
lieving him to be a member of the
secret organization to which he pre-
tended to belong, the culprit begins to
cast about for some means of substan-
tiating his claims to Mrs. Casey. The
further complications and situations
are exceedingly funny, but should be
seen to be appreciated.
THE MUSICAL NUMBERS.
Do You Know Your A-B-C’s? .....
positive orders not to molest the
population, but on the contrary to try
by politeness to take the edge off the
hostility of the people. But instead of
yielding to blandishments, the Belgians
only become the bolder in manifesting
their hatred to the invaders.
The upper classes in Brussels never
receive a German into their homes.
Should any one, man or woman, make
this concession, he would thereafter be
ostracized by his fellows. Women are
more bitter and more daring than the
men. They show their feeling by act-
ing as if they feared contamination by
touching a German in the street, in
street cars or other public places. The
business of carrying baskets has be-
come a kind of game, and ladies on
meeting compare notes as to how many
Germans they have made step into the
gutter.
A large number of German women of
doubtful reputation have followed the
army, and if a German officer appears
on the street with a woman, she may
be of this class, but never a Belgian.
The German government has taken
many war films in Belgium for exhi-
bition in Germany. One of these films
represents an officers’ ball in Brussels,
with the idea of proving the bitter-
ness of the war has passed away. But
he people of Brussels say the women
shown in the film were the German
habitues of the cafes and not Belgian
women.
Brussels is now filled with young
German aristocrats occupying civil
posts. It is said that they are often
the only sons left in their families as
the result of the war. Consequently
the government has spared them in
order to perpetuate their titles.
Belgians report that the allies’ air-
craft keep the railways on the German
side of the front so badly torn up with
bombs that the civil population feel it
is unsafe to travel by train. When
they can obtain passes, they go by
horse.

“A strange scene was then witnessed.
Through the scattered woods and
across the clearings streamed a loose
and disordered mob of attackers, some
of those in front, according to report,
being dressed in the British uniform
in order to put our men off their guard
and give time for the rest of their own
men to come up. Suddenly our infantry
lined their parapets and poured in a
rapid fire from rifles and machine guns
on the advancing crowd, who threw
themselves flat on their faces. That,
however, was the chance for our guns.
They poured in a heavy shrapnel fire
and in a few moments the ground was
.strewn with dead and dying Germans
‘all along the front in our parapets.
"Amid this scene of horror and con-
fusion out of the smoke and dust that
hung in front of our trenches suddenly
emerged a man dressed in Highland
uniform shouting 'Don’t shoot, don’t
shoot!’ As he ran toward us the ruse
was seen through, however, and he fell
riddled by bullets.
“At one point the Germans succeeded
in gaining a portion of our position,
but were forced to retire by the gas.
“This assault was reminiscent of
those delivered in .October by newly
raised German corps. The latter
amounted to forlorn hopes undertaken,
seemingly, by brave but ill-trained,
levies, which had been hastily brought
up and thrown into the fight. On this
occasion the undertaking was equally
hopeless except for the assistance to be
obtained from asphyxiating gas, which,
as a matter of fact, failed.

a man could not see his hand when
held in front of his face. Its fumes
bleached the grass and turned the
sand bags of the parapets to a bright
. yellow color.
"From the movements observed in
their lines it is probable the Germans
suffered equally from the gas and had
1 to leave their own trench.
“In the enemy’s infantry men were
beginning to show signs of exhaustion
and the sight of the ground that lay
between the hostile lines, littered more
thickly every day with their comrades’
corpses, . could hardly have been en-
couraging to the reinforcements
brought up. Nonetheless they were not
yet beaten.
HURL ASSAULT.
“On the morning of the 11th an as-
sault was hurled against our trenches
south of the Menin road, where three
separate efforts were made. At one
point the enemy for a short time occu-
pied one of our trenches, but they were
soon driven out by a counter attack.
In the afternoon soon after 4 o’clock
the Germans again came on and this
time their ranks were smitten with
rifle and machine gun, scattered and
driven back before reaching our posi-
tion.
"It was evident that our infantry
was not yet sufficiently shaken for the
assault to be pressed home and so for
three hours every German gun within
range was directed against the posi-
tion of our front south of the Meinin
road.
“At 7 p. m. the bombardment ceased
and the enemy’s infantry once more
swarmed forward, many of them
dressed in kilts. On this occasion they
succeeded in occupying temporarily a
short length of our trenches. But it
was now plain they were utterly ex-
hausted and when counter attacked
were easily driven back.
"For some hours previously the Ger-
mans had been throwing incendiary
shells into Ypres and by this time the
town was blazing fiercely. In Novem-
ber, when similar attempts were taken
to destroy the city, it was noticed that
they synchronized with abandonment
of the effort to capture it. It is as
yet too soon to say that the same in-
terpretation must be put on the
enemy’s present action.
"One of our airmen had a thrilling
experience. He was alone in a single
I seated areoplane in pursuit of a Ger-
man machine. While trying to reload
his machine gun he lost control of the
steering gear and the aeroplane turned
upside down. The belt around his
waist happened to be loose and the
jerk of the turn almost threw him out
of* the machine, but he saved himself
by catching hold of the rear center
strut. The belt slipped down around
his legs. While he hung thus head
downward, making desperate efforts to
disentangle his legs, the aeroplane fell
from a height of 8,000 feet to about
2,500 spinning like a falling leaf.
“At last he managed to free his legs
and reach the control lever with his
feet. He then succeeded in righting
the machine, whereupon he slid into
his seat.”
