IJelmont, when she re fused m permit Mrs. Fmmeline I'ank hurst to he starred in the movies, be cau. the motion picture concern wouldn't cross her palm with a $l,00 contribution to the suffrage cause. Three shivering reporters, two press agents, camera men. a movie actress an author and other waited for the show to open. "It's the Idggest stunt that has ever been pulled off." admitted the press nip-nt confidentially. "Fifty-two weeks It's going and we're spending $.".uO,OoO advertising it. Maybe Mrs. Pankhursi will throw a chair through a window. Mrs. Melmont happened on the scene 'i this Juncture, wiie,, Mrs. l'nnk burM iii-rived tUn- was a conference.

Itul what can't understand I why Mrs. PanUhursl, who is so mili tant in London, w..nl.l mildly let Mrh. Ilelnioiii hoss her in New York." Then the erowTI melted away. Good Feature at Royal. "The l ifiii string."' a musical fan tasy from the pen of John Philip tfoii sa, is the feature offering at the Koal. The theme of the story re solves about an ill-Marred violinist who, encouraged by the plaudits of the world of mush-, sought to win th love ot a fair American but found his Keniua insufficient to captivute her. Angelo Dk.ttl is a guest at a fa mous reception and proves to be some thing of a lion among the ladies. He falls madly In love with Mildred Wal lace, the daughter of the hostess. To this clear-eyer young American the. temperament traits of the ardent young musician do not appeal poten tially, and he frowns upon his protes tations. He Is so discouraged that he throws up his engagement, leaves the house and the manager apologizes for the temperamental tantrums of the Mar. who sensationally disappears from the firmament. He sails secretly for one of our island possessions in solitude and begins continuous practice to see it he eiiii call back something that sems to have fled from his skill. The inoie he plays and the harder he works the es-. luminous and cohrifnl seems to ie his tone. He fears that his art is feeling and in his desperation liinvs the medium of expression to the floor and tramples upon il in wrath. At this mad moment a tall, sinster, shadowy figure appears in the door way of his leafy shack, his very pres- I ence compelling recognition as he! hands the maddened musician his card, inscribed. "Satan, Prince of Darkness." Fust -following in his wake is an old man, who hat, in his palsied clasp an instrument of exquisite work manship. His satanic majesty compels him to play, and (he bent old figure draws from the violin such exquisite harmony that the musician is himself entranced, t'nder the spell of his own music, the plaver draws his how for a full sweep, but he no sooner touches the filth siring than his hands fall palsied at his side and he drops dead. Alllloll!i I Oot I i In hdiocked by the scene, he is so entranced by the mu sic that he picks up the Instrument his own genius has returned rein forced by the manic of this live-slring-ed violin. Satan explains that the first means pity; the second, hope; the third, love; the fourth, joy; but the fifth means death. The second part of the subjects finds him again at the pinnacle of fame and back in America. His mastership of the violin again finds him wooing Mildred and just as he plights his troth, he touches the fifth string. Death is the penalty of his folly. New Essanay Release. Much Interest is being centered in one of the latest pictures produced at the Western Kssanay studio by i. M. Anderson. It Is a comedy entitled, "Snakesville's New Doctor," in which all the favorite characters that have helped to make the vAlkali Ike" series yo fanimisl. popular appear to udefed advantage. To them ure added new characters, notably those played by Lloyd lngraham and Marguerite Clay ton who is the heroine of the story and is delighted at the opportunity thus given her of still further demonstrat ing het versatile gifts as a motion pic ture actress to lie reckoned with. Miss Clayton plays the part of the new doc tor, and all the other characters suc cessively fall victims to the most dis tressing diseases ami accidents in or der that they may receive ample med ical attention at Dr. Marguerite's soft, dainty hands.
