EUROPEAN HOSTILITY NO LONGER AFFECTS SH0RTAGj0F FILMS Restoration of Communication Enables Moving of Raw Film and of Subjects to United States. OBSERVER. Since my last letter was written things here have settled down to a condition much more nearly approaching the normal that was the case immediately following the declaration of war. On the surface we are conducting our business much as we have always done; supplies, both of negative and positive films are reaching us even from Paris, where I hear several studios and factories are working full time, and no anxiety seems to be felt as to the supply of raw stock. In England the difficulties of communication with the provinces and the delay in delivery of parcels, owing to the government's control of the railways and the wholesale seizure of horses, have largely been removed. Given uninterrupted communication with your side there appears no reason to fear a shortage either of raw films or of subjects. We are not so fortunately situated in regard to chemicals. The price of hypo is at present forty shillings per hundred weight against the usual figure of eight shillings. Hydro-kinone, ordinarily sold at two shillings and six pence per pound, is now only obtainable at twenty-five shillings for the name quantity, and there has been an equally great advance in most of the other materials used in development. Most of these good ordinarily come from Germany, and It will be neceseary for British firms to Increase their resources greatly if they are to cope with the shortage. At the same time the present situation seems to offer these firms an admirable opportunity of gaining control of a branch of industry from which they have previously been excluded by German competition. It is a little difficult to speak with liny confidence of the future at the present stage. In London, at least, the cinema theatres not only appear to have maintained their business at an Average level, but in many cases to have exceeded it. In the provinces, Irotn what I hear, things are not so rosy. The big industrial towns will certainly feel the financial pinch before London. In some, works have already been shut down and there can not fail to be a considerable amount of unemployment in such centers as Lancashire, which find some of their most remunerative foreign markets closed to them, and unemployment will affect all amusements immediately. It Is certain, however, that patronage would remain to the picture house after both the theatre and music hall have been deserted; the cheapness of the cinema should, in fact, secure it m. certain amount of immediate business at the expense of both these rivals.

ANNA POMEROY IN "MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH."

The original "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" is not quite as sunny a soul as she was before Anna Hegan Rice discovered her to the world in her stories and since Anne Crawford Flexner dramatized her. Fame has made uneasy the head that once lay down so easily in the "Cabbage Patch" of the Louisville suburb, and insistent visitors, eager for a bit of firsthand philosophy, often receive a firstclass scolding. Indeed, the impetuous

DEVIL'S DAIISAIIT"

COMES TO ARCADE

Alice Hollister in Two-Act Drama Shows Here Next Wednesday. CAST. Farrar, district attorney John E. Mackin Valerie, his wife Alice Hollister Dominique, proprietor of "The Dansant" Harry Millarde Rogers, his secret partner Robert Walker Specialty dances by Arthur Albertson and Elsie Cohan. "The Devil's Dansant" is the nickname given to a dansant of which Dominique, a Frenchman, is the proprietor. District Attorney Farrar, while searching for evidence on which to raid the place, is astounded to find that his wife Valerie, is a frequent visitor at Dominique's. The wilful woman disobeys her husband's orders and continues to visit Dominique's. Rogers, the Frenchman's silent partner, sees Farrar enter the place several days later. To avoid a

scene, he helps Valerie escape by a secret door which leads to a gambling den above the dansant. Despite Roger's warnings, Dominique ensnares Valerie in his net, causing the woman to lose heavily at the gambling tables. The partners quarrel, with the result that Rogers gives Farrar a tip, causing the district attorney to raid the place. Farrar Is thunderstruck to find Valerie among the prisoners bagged in the raid. By declaring she has been securing evidence for him, the husband saves Valerie from disgrace. Dominique is convicted and ruined. Realizing, at last, the extent of her folly, Valerie begs her husband for forgiveness.
