military import&noe. But the portal is forced, and, whatever the difficulties of mountain, swamp1* or desert, there seems no doubt that peace will bring in its train an extension of intercommunication between continents of which the older generation scarcely dreamed.

El Kantara itself is no more than a smiUl group of huts perched upon the drifted sand hills which here confine the southern waters of LAke Menjaleh. It has, however, always had a special importance as the point at which the caravans crossed the canal, and it will be remembered that the Turks delivered their one serious assault upon the canal at this point. It was brushed aside without difficulty, and the successive advances of our expeditionary force have secured this bridgehead from all possibility of future attacks.

But the news that an efficient railway bridge now crosses the canal and connects the Egyptian railway system directly with the pioneers of the Palestine expedition is reassuring. As it was with the Romans, so It has been the characteristic of our own colonization that where we drove the road our pax Britannica followed. It Is not too much to say that this newest link of human communication seems in some respect* to be the moot important constructive work that this unhappy war has brought into being.—London Telegraph.

Hart Winding Up First Arfcraft Year

The final scenes for "Riddle Gawne" are being made by William S. Hart at Chatsworth park. 50 miles from Hollywood, the interiors having been completed. The entire film will soon be ready for cutting and assembling.

This picture winds up tha first year of Hart's Artcraft contract, it being the eighth production. He will continue to make pictures under tre same auspices, but will take a couple of weeks' rest after this fltaa is finished, which time he will principally occupy by reading scripts afld i11 other work about the studio.

Hart's next

picture,

It is understood,

will be a western 4rama also, but with a military element. The exact title and nature of t6« picture has not yet been announced.

With "Rlddl* Gawnej**. Katherine MacDonald completes her contract with the Hart organization and will go to the Lasky studios, it is understood. Ml«s MacDonald is seen to advantage in "Shark Monroe" and will again appaaf «us the star's leading feminine support in "Riddle Gawne."

Hart narrowly escaped serious injury on location when a horse he was working with and endeavoring to make fall, as if shot from beneath him, fell on the actor's leg and bruised him considerably. Asido from a scarcely noticeable limp, however, the actor is all right. He had used Fritz, his pfnto pony, in many falls and had him trained to the work, but the new horse Is one no one has ever been able to make behave properly under such circumstances. However, Hart got the scene, so he's satisfied.

AETHTTR HOYT ACTS AGAHT.

Arthur Hoyt. formerly casting director for the Triangle Film corporation, has returned to the business of acting and will appear in the Universal production of Henry Irving Dodge's story, "The Tellow Dog." The picture will be directed by Colin Campbell,

Preliminary annoui.it ment is to the effect that Willarc Mack, Misg Frederick's husband, if to supervise her endeavors and the f.'lms are to be released through Goidwyn.

J. Stuart Black ton has engaged Jack Martin to assist him in the production of "The Common Cause," the big propaganda picture which the Commodore is to screen under the auspices of the Britislf-Canadian Recruiting Mission.

Douglas Fairbanks is the first screen star to make a propaganda picture for the fourth Liberty Loan.

BETTER MARKETING.

Last year the production of perishables is estimated to have been 50 per cent greater than normal. Notwithstanding the large output, the marketing difficulties were relatively less than in former years because of the effective efforts of the people throughout the country, assisted by federal and state agencies, to conserve these products for future use by canning, preserving, pickling and drying. The department is again actively assisting in the conservation of perishables, as It. did last summer, and Is able to render more effective assistance with Its largely increased staff. More effective assistance also is being rendered in the marketing of perishable prodxicts through the greatly extended daily market news service of the Bureau of Markets and the weekly reports of truck crop production prepared by the Bureau of Crop Estimates.

sort-

-A. period of nearly three weeks is a long time to go by at this season of the year \rlthont a single contract coming the way of the manager of a theatre of the first-class in a city the size of Terre Haute. It mead only one thing—that producers are holding off before booking road shows until an agreement Is reached in Washington as to the taoces on theatricals and luxuries. The producers declare doubling of the war tax will mean curtailment of theatrical productions. The burlesque people, having booked their shows for an entire season are simply going on about their business, and don't appear to be worrying. The motion picture people have nothing to worry over, for a considerable number of those who would remain away from high-priced entertainments on account of the doubling of the war taxes on snch shows would patronize the pictures.

Nor Is the proposed increase in war tax the only thing that is troubling the theatre managers. Musicians are I mighty BCarce, if the same condition that prevails in Terre Haute la to be found everywhere. Leo Baxter and Clifford Lowe, two of our most accompllshed pianists, are at Camp Zach- I ary Taylor. Rollie Zachary, our most promising violinist, Is at the same camp. S Other of our musicians hare gone to the front as leaders and soloists with i army bands. Then there is the new Terre Haute theatre to be supplied. Manager Galllgan, of the Grand, will be compelled to import xnusici&ns whether its against the rules of the local union or not. He is preparing to meet tbe situation.

During tbe last week no less than half a dosen looal amateurs joined out as professionals. Miss Margaret Galligan, who has youth, beauty and talent to aid her in getting along in the theatrical world, is now rehearsing with "Oh Lady, Lady," a musical comedy, which is one of the piany successes! controlled by Messrs. Elliott, Cornstock & Gest. Although Miss Galligan went to New York with plenty of credentials, and was most cordially received by her father's professional friends, It would appear that the little lady herself butted right into a fine engagement at the psychlogical moment, or something like that. The two Ewart boys, dancing wonders, ar.d Miss McComhs mada their vaudeville debut In South Bend most successfully, and will appear in Chicago this week. Master Chester Lafferty and Catherine Conrath open their vaudeville season in Indianapolis under the auspices of Henry K. Burton. The Ewart boys and Master Lafferty and little Miss Conrath were Introduced to the local public by Igniatus Mehegan in St. Patrick's shows. They have been carefully coached during the summer months by. Raymond Prltchett.

The Yox production of "SaTom^*1' comes to the Grand for three days beginning Thursday, Sept. t. The papers are signed, and the whole matter settled. Furthermore, the Fox people declare "Salome" will not be presented anywhere except at t-egular prices in theatres playing high class dramatic and musical shows for a year or so, at least "Salome" is somewhat of a Terre Haute production. Earl Sibley had charge of the technical direction, and he has a score or more of Terre Haute mechanics on his staff out in Los Angeles. Genevieve Blinn, who was the leading woman with the Arvine players during the engagement of that organization at the Grand, has an important part. Theda Bara will exercise her Wiles on Herod in the name part. The picture was six months in the making at the Fox studios in southern California, and involved the expenditure of a vast sum of money— so vaat, it is said, that a press agent s exaggeration of the figure would seem redundant. Scenes of Old Jerusalem, of a period antedating the Christian era. are said to be reproduced with fidelity, rare biblical prints and the chronicles of Flavius Josephus, original historian of that age, serving to guide aright the producers.

FAME SOMETIMES A HANDICAP.

Being famous often proves a great handicap. At least it has in the case of Mary Plckford, so far as rest and quiet is concerned. It is almost impossible for the Artcraft star to escape being identified, no matter where she seeks a vacation, and at ipresent, after a long, hard season and much time devoted to war work, the little film favorite Is much in need of a complete rest. At present she Is with her mother and sister at their bungalow in Santa Monica, making the most of her spare time before deciding just what her future plans shall be, her contract with the Famous Players Lasky having recently expired.
