Too Nnch Finery to Relief Work; Says Mrs. Eliza Scott, 89 Years Old Member of Morton Commission
Mrs. Eliza Scott, eighty-nine years old, who Uvea at 24 South Eleventh street, doesn't think much of modern war relief work. And Mrs. Scott ought to know, for she is the only surviving member of the Richmond Sanitary Commission a pointed by Governor Morton during the Civil war. Folks won't ever feel this war as they did the Civil war, nor have they awakened as they did then. And as for modern relief work, it has to6 much finery and society about it to be very effective, thinks Mrs. Scottt However, she is doing some knitting for the Red Cross. Hearer Gives Gasp. As Mrs. Scott describes the work the women did during the Civil war, the modern hearer gasps.. When the soldiers came home from war, the women worked a solid week feeding them. They didn't have very much to feed them with, because rations had gotten pretty slim around Richmond. "We never saw flour, sugar or cof fee," said Mrs. Scott. "We bad brown ed sweet-potatoes for coffee, we lived on corn-meal, and wore patched-np clothes." She told of freezing winter days when the women came home from re lief work with their feet frost-bitten and their clothes wet to the knee, of attacks of cholera and small-pox, which killed seventy people. Bake Bread All Night. When they knew soldiers were coming through the city, they would stay out all night at the big bricn ovens which were used then, to have bread for them. "We didn't have as much finery as the women do now-a-days," said Mrs. Scott. "We'd put on a calico dress, roll our sleeves up to the elbows, and by her granddaughter, Miss Virginia McDonald. The time was spent sewing Friday afternoon when the King's Daughters of South Eighth Street Friends' church met at the church. Two hundred bags have been completed by the Comfort Bag committee.

go to work. We didn't have time for finery." Raising money was another Job the commission worked at "We certainly all were beggars," she said. "One 'day I raised $200 along Main street. And once I went into a ealoon," she said it in an awed voice, "and got $10 from the men there." After the war, the women were
given a certificate of thanks by Gov ernor Morton. The other members of the commission were Mrs. Iliff, mother of Edgar L Iliff, Mrs. Newton, Mrs,. Hayes and Miss Beulah McPherspn.

They will make their home with Mrs. Walker near New Madison on her farm. Here is the story of "Seven Keys to Baldpate," the Cohan comedy to be given by the Murray players next week: George Washington Magee, a writer of sensational fiction, arrives at Baldpate Inn, that lonesomest spot on earth a summer resort In winter," to win a bet from its owner by beginning a novel at midnight one day and completing It by midnight the next. Mr. Magee has hardly gone to his room, secure in the belief that he possesses the only key to the inn, when there enters John Bland, "right hand man" of a millionaire street railway builder, with two hundred thousand dollars to put in the hotel safe. Later on, Jim Cargan, Mayor of Reuton, is to call for the money and in return is to give a certain franchise to the railway builder Thomas Haydan. Surprised by the novelist. Bland presses his revolver against the digestive organs of Magee, who declines to be frightened because, as he remarks, "I've written this situation over and over again." By a sharp trick, he entraps the bribe giver and locks him in a room, only to be confronted by an intruder with a third key Mary Norton, a newspaper reporter on the trail of the bribe story. Mary is accompanied by Mrs. Rhodes, the fiancee of the Mayor. George falls in love with the reporter at sight Myra Thornhill, working in conjunction with Lou Max accomplice of the Mayor, lets herself in with a fourth key, and is toying with the safe combination, when the heroic author bds her stand and deliver. Myra persuades him of the honest of her motives, and he promises to get thei money for her. The same promise he makes later to Mary, who needs that two hundred thousand as evidence for her story; and then the inn is invaded by Cargan, and Max, and the escaped Bland. In spite of them, Magee secures the incriminating roll, turns it over to Mary, and, outwitting the quintette of villians, compels them to sit in a minstrel first-part semi-circle staring at the audience until the telephone shall notify him that the woman he loves Is safe at the office of her newspaper. Facing defeat and imprisonment the five scoundrels turn on one another. Hayden calls Bland a block-head to which the latter retorts in kind. Cargan accuses Max of having "doublecrossed" him for the sake of Myra, and Myra admits that she meant to "triple-cross" Max. A telephone call from Mary announces that Mrs. Rhodes has stolen the money. Max shoots Myra for mi

Washington Offerings For the Week
The Washington Theatre guarantees two days' sunshine for its patrons this week in the presence of June Caprice who will appear there in William Fox's "Patsy," beginning on Sunday. , "Patsy" is filled with more sunshine and happiness than any picture play in which the "Sunshine Maid" has yet appeared. It is also crowded with more sunshine and happiness than any picture ploy in which the "Sunshine Maid" has yet appeared. It is also crowded with more thrills and adventure. An attempt on the part of Brldgey Bentley to compromise Peter Hale with Philippa Brewster is unfolded in the fourteenth chapter of Pathe's "Mystery of the Double Cross" serial, to be shown at the Washington Theatre Monday and Tuesday. Bentley has obtained what he considers sufficient proof that Philippa Brewster is not the Girl of the Double Cross. Therefore, In order to prevent Peter Hale from marrying the Girl of the Doable Cross and obtaining the Hale millions, according to the conditions, of his father's will, Bentley resolves upon a bold stroke. William A. Brady, himself, personally directed the big scenes in the newest World-Picture Brady-Made, "The Beloved Adventuress," at the Washington Tuesday and Wednesday. And because of his directions these scenes have more "punch" and get-up-ond-go to them than anything seen on the screen in a long time. They grip the heart strings and hold the spectators breathless. Mr. Brady has put Flickers of What's A vivid idea of the true cause for patriotism on the part of every American In connection with the great world war can be had from the new Mary Pickford-Artcraft picture, "The Little American," now appearing at the Murrette theatre. In producing this play Cecil B. DeMille, the genius of screencraft, based his play on actual facts and carefully avoided exaggeration so often prominent in films of this nature. Every detail was staged only after it had received the endorsement of an authority and various experts on matters pertaining to the great war, were called in to collaborate in the presentation of different scenes. As a result the picture has been named as the most faithful reproduction of true conditions, by many who are in a position to judge. "Silent Partner," Wednesday and Thursday. Jane Colby, doubting the honesty of Havey Wilson, a member of the firm by which he is employed, discovers discrepancy in his accounts, and his resignation is therefore requested by Edward Royle, his partner. Both these men are interested in Edith Preston. Wilson Is her favorite, the fact that he is married having been kept from her. She accepts Ropyle's proposal of marriage. Wilson, revengeful, plans with David Pierce to effect Royle's financial ruin. "squealing" and the shot brings in the town chief of police. A moment later the money is located, the officer of the law takes possession of it and then telephones his wife to meet him the next morning in Canada. With a cry of rage Peter, the half-crazed hermit of Baldpate, snatches the money and throws it into the fire. Then the dead Myra promenades around the balcony of the Inn and just when Magee is about to collapse, the owner of Baldpate arrives and informs him that the whole affair has been a melodrama staged by himself in order to win the bet, the participants being; members of a touring theatrical company. This, however, is not the conclusion of the story for in the next scene another surprise is offered when we see Magee finishing his book at the stroke of twelve and learn that the entire proceedings have been his imaginations which are embodied in the book.

into these scenec all the dramatic force and intensity which has made his stage plays such wonderful successes. A story of the Virginia mountains, with a little - orphaned waif as its heroine and a New York Action writer as its hero is "Bawbs o Blue Ridge," in which Bessie Barriscale will be presented on the Triangle program at the Washington theatre, Thursday. The little girl has a great desire for a romance, but when it comes along it almost looks for awhile as if cruel fate, a misunderstanding and a hoot owl were going to give her affairs a most unromantic twist. Love finds a way, however, and when the maiden leaves the mountain cabin it is with the man who came into the wilderness just because friendly Cupid had picked him out for her. Count Strezzi was so Infatuated with Manuella, the beautiful Greek dancer, that he was not above resorting to trickery and real crime in his effort to gain her for himself. But because Manuella was deeply in love with Lionel, her musician, her wits were sharpened and she managed to outwit Strezzi after all. "Atonement" is the title of the sensational feature picture in which these Incidents occur. It is the first of the remarkable Brady-International Service WorldPictures and it will be shown on Friday and Saturday at the Washington theatre. Miss Regina Badet is the brilliant star in this production.
