The story of “Good Night, Paul!"

mits him to keep his fortune.

One of the most exciting ring batties
ever shown in any motion picture is
that in which Lord Woodstock fights

Takes Patent Medicine;

Dies; Inquest Follows
ST. LOUI% Jan, 26.—A Coroner’s inquest
has been ox ered into the death of Hugh
McMahon, 60, who died following the ui
ing of a dose of patent cough medicine,
from her husband, and, knowing
women well, he works apon her sym
pathies and imagination until he has
her on the point of breaking away
from her husband. At a dinner given
on the seventh anniversary of his
marriage, Porter comes late and he
‘has forgotten to feteh with him any
wedding present. But when a bishop,
who has been more thoughtful, is
about to offer her a necklace of am
ber and jade beads, Porter appropri
ates it and presents it to his wife as
his own gift. When Leila learns of
this deception she is resentful and
when her husband seeks to kiss her
and she detects the odor es onions on
his breath, she repulses him with
loathing. She obtains a divorce and
weds Van Sutphen, who soon begins
to neglect her fer the society of cho
rus girls.” Porter feels his loss keenly
and when he realizes the cause, his
nature undergoes a complete change.
Van Sutphen obtains his wife's dia
mond ring and gives it to a woman

He meets Leila, who now is shabby

Big Grand Drama
' The beautiful actress who has been
made the queen of tragedy by the
‘tragh incidents of her own life, Hv
‘elyn Nesbitt, will be seen at the
Grand this week In her latest photo
play, “Her Mistake” Assisting her
will be the little son who remains to
‘her as the one reward of her sorrow
}tul career, Russell Thaw.
‘ Apart from the personal Imuxt
that attaches to the principal cha¥-
actters, “Her Mistake” 1s a great play.
‘Willilam Fox has takem a drama of
the street, and the events of every
‘day, and has woven a marvelously
moving production about it. The
story of a girl’s false step and where
it leads is always unusually moving,
and in the present instance it is
fraught with the greatest pathos and
appeal.
But “Her Mistake™ s sometNing
more than the narrative of a girl's
degradation. It also brings out the
happy ending from the sordid picture,
for it treats of the girl's redemptions,
and the means that led to this re
demption. In this respect the story
is finely adapted to Miss Nesbit, for
she has salvaged her own life in like
manner, |
The lesson of the picture—for no'
picture of this nature can be really
fine or worth while without showing
very glmly a great moral lesson—
lies in'the idea that the fires of sac
rifice can burn away all the impuri
ties of a sinful past. The woman who
really wants to renew her hope is
never beyond hope, but through self
abnigation and service for her fellow
beings she is able to achieve that
happiness which once seemed 8o very
far away.
The picture has been given a lavish
production. The settings are all clev
erly wrought, and every detall of the
many scenes is worked out with the
faithfulness of a Belasco, The cast
contains many celebraties and the ai
rection is under the skillful guidance
of Julius Steger, the master of this
type of drama. .

Star of “After the War”
Was War Work Star
Miss Grace Cunard, the charming
star of “After the War,” the five-reel
Argosy feature in which she will appear

The star of “The Rainbow Trail”
which 18 a special Btrand feature this
week, could be nobody else but William
Farnum. More than any other actor
playing before the camera, Willlam Far.
num has the ability for interpreting the
roles of big, powerful men, who fight
the long, hard fight against the power
ful forces of nature. ["arnum has a
positive genius for this type of aellnf,
and his work in “The Rainbow Trail”’
is better than anything he has ever
done,
A sequel to ‘‘Riders of the Purple
Sage,” “The Rainbow Trail” takes up
the fortunes of Lassiter, Jane Wither
steen and the girl, Fay lLarkin, years
after they have been locked up In a
lost ecanyon, Not only does Mr .Far
num again portray the role of Lassiter,
the two-gun man and terror of the
Utah border, but he also takes the part
of Shefford, a two-fisted fighting man
who goes to the rescue of these impris
oned people. This dual role glves Mr.
Farnum some of the most splendid op
rtunities of his screen career, and
m rises to his opportunities like the
sterling actor that he is.
A feature of ‘“The Rainbow Trafl”
is its magnificent scenic effects: iln
fact in “The Rainbow Trail” is shown
the grandest scenery In the world
Two hundred miles of wind-worn roek,
all smooth and bare, without a single
straight l|ne~4:angonn, caves, bridges.
This is the Grand Canyon of Arizona
where Willlam Farnum and his compa.
ny spent a week. Other scenes show
the weird, mysterious Painted Desert;
others take the spectator into the for
gotten civillzation of the Aztec oliff
dwellers. Arnln the picture shifts to
that colorful, gfeturesqua home of a
doomed race—the Navajo Reservation.
The mnr{ of this production is a lib
era education in itself.

lcy FLOYD MACGRIFF,
orrespondent |. N, 8.
LONDON, (by mail.)—Two of the digw
gest jobs of the Peace Conference will
be the undoing of the lifework of Bia«
marck, toxethewflh reducing Prussia
to her proper level with the other Ger
man States, and establishing a Poland
which will be sturdy enough to resist
being Prussianized commercially, while
at the same time serving as a buffer
safe-guanrd against Germanie domination
of Russia,
It was by pouneing upon Poland thaf
Prussia rose to power. The instigation
of the partitioning of Poland by Frede
erick IL sowed the seed of aggrandizes
ment which ex-Kaiser Wilhelm Il aty
tempter to harvest,
' And the problem of Poland and Pruse
Sla is a tangle., Poland's only possible
seaport is Danzig. It formerly was Polw
ish, but Prussia popuiated it with Ger
mans, so that now less than 10 rr cent
of the seaport is Polish. Could Gers
many retain Danzig she could dominate
Poland. The distriet about Danzig is
overwhelmingily Polish, but if this eity
is given back to Poland, then Kaat
Prussia will be cut off from the rest of
Germany, ‘There are about 3,500,000
Poles who have to be liberated from
Prussian misrule. In this part of Po
land there are 1,000,000 Germans placed
thete through colonization. Internation«
alization of the port of Dlnsl'! mlg:t
solve that phase of the question, t
how FEast lenulsia 8 to be linked up
with the rest of Germany by land withe
out chasing out thousands of Poles is
the hard part of the nut. For full, free,
economic development there can be no
%uunon but that Poland should have
anzig.
To gonn at the outset to undo Bisy
marck’'s work there will be rectifica«
tion of Germany's frontiers. As already
provided, Alsace and Lorraine will be
restored to France, Lnxcmbt:s:h likely
will revert to Belgium and Da prun:z
of Schieswig-Holstein will be retu
to Denmark. If Germanic Austria de
sires to unite with the other German
states+a thln‘ Bismarck grevmtod be
cause it would reduce ia's Ine
fluence-—the allies will not Interfere,
Thus there will be rectifications of prac«
tically all of Germn.ng;l frontier,
In connection with hl“,-%
the flueutlon of the future of the K
Canal arises, It is most important that
Germany be prevented from continuing
to treat this eanal as an inland watere

If Germany allowed to con e thi
domination of the Kiel Canal, she wi
have—that is, Prussian ilnterests wi
have—an undue advantage over sea.
borne traffic from Poland, Finland and
Russia into the North Sea and Atlantic,
For the Kiel Canal is the short routa,
The Kiel gannl, experts say, should be
free to all nations alfke, as are the
Panama and Suez Canals.
Germtnkl.llo is expected either to
surrender Butright or hand over the out
put of the Saar coal fields, which were
taken from France a century ago.
Commercial, as well as physical domi
nation over Buropean countries by Prus«
sta is to be terminated. Cermany will
find that her relations hereafter with
‘Holland will be far different than In the
‘put; likewise with Belgium. Germany's
attempt to flolso:&huom between Bel
glum and Holla: ver which of those
two shall control the Scheldt is doomed
to fallure. . v
The unification of the German peo
ples, a thing which Bismarclyy nted
will be one of the fruits of tgo recon -
structed world, and this, In itself, will .
be a check against vehement Prussian
methods. Bavaria and Germanic Aus
tria are expected to form a balance
which Blood and Iron Bismarcks cannot
disturb. The Bismarckian policy of
preventing democratic development and
expression of the people is to be curbed.
The Prussian game of playing one race
or one section against another to bene
fit Prussian aims 3 to be ruled out
There will be a bulwark against any -
German custom union which seeks to tie

enough job In afin:g attending to the
needs of Germans in Germany, recon.
structing her State and meeting the
Allled peace terms. FHer colonial ad
ventures from iBB4-99, will be wiped off
the slate. Her establishment in the Far
East, dating from 1897, will pass away.
But these are only offshoots of the
Prussian idea which Bismarck so skill
fu"{ perpetuated in the Kalser-con
trolled Germanic State, 4
A keen watch will be kept hers on
negotiations relative to Poland, for it
is realized that unless this question is
settled properly and so as to stamp out
all Prussian Influence, the peace o?b- )
rope will not endure long.
