WILLIAM GILLETTE'S 'SHER
LOCK HOLMES' AN ACHIEVE
MlfNT IN MOTION PICTURES
t -
Seven Reel offering by Essanay
With great stage star in role consid
ered a triumph in film business.
Acter who made character famous
on stage finally performs for film
after repeatedly refusing offer.
Photoplay enthusiasts all over the
country have expressed their sur
prise and delight at the apearance on
the screen of William Gillette in his
creation of "Sherlock Holmes." The
well known fact that this acter had
repeatedly refused motion picture
offers adds to the interest in the
film.
Mr. Gillette had just closed an un
usually successful season on the
stage and went to the Essanay im
mediately after his last performance.
The popularity awaiting picturiza
tion of his gripping drama was re
cognized by producers for some time,
and the fact that Essanay obtained
the right to the play and the consent
of the stage star to portray the role
was considered somewhat of a tri
vmph.
William Gillette has had a• stage
career rivalled by à few actors of all
time. He was born in Hartford,
Conn., July 24th. 1855, the son of
Francis Gillette, long a United States
Senator. An elder brother, Edward
Hooker Gillette, also entered politics
and served in congress as a represen
tative from Iowa, whence he had
gone from New England.
Following graduation from prepar
atory school, young Gillette choose
the stage as his work, and played in
stock while continuing his education
with special courses at the Universi
ty of New York, Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology and Boston
University.
In 1887 he undertook theatrical
work exclusively and played with
stock companies successfully at New
Orleans, New York, Boston, Cincin
nati and Louisville.
By this time he had won national
recognition and he decided to at
tempt the staging for several plays
he had written himself. This he did
with encouraging success and since
he has written everything in which
he has appeared.
"Sherlock Holmes" added to his
fame, and later "Secret Service" up
held the reputation he had won. Mr.
Gillette is ideally suited to an active
drama of tense situation, and the
screen has undoubtly added to rath
er than detracted from the original.
Manager Harry Davis has arrang
ed with the Kleine-Edison-Selig-Es
sanay Service whereby "Sherlock
Holmes" will be seen as the opening
attraction at the New Theatre soon.
The election next Tuesday will
most likely be the most interesting
event in many years. Sam Blum, act
ing for Manager Loeb of the
Evangeline Theatre is arranging de
tails in connection with securing the
full details of the election by spe
cial private wire which will be fur
nished by the Western Union. All
those who are interested in the ev
ent are requested to get in touch
with Mr. Blum who will give them a
line up on the forthcoming events.
Morgan City will secure the best
possible service for the occasion, and
as fast as the returns are gathered
by the newspapers, they will be
flashed along the wires, of which
Morgan City will be part of the con
nection. It is costing a neat sum of
money to secure this detailed ser
vice, but as is the custom of the men
in the business circles of this city,
they want only the best, and au
thentic information, and on this oc
casion, they will be served with
every detail of this national event
next Tuesday evening November 7,
at the Evangeline Theatre. Get your
name to Sam Blum today, and let
him know that you will be present.

Jack Morrison
With The Gilson Players
GILSON STOCK CO. PLEASES
The play was good. The company
excellent, and every one was more
than pleased with "Barriers Burned
Away"at the Evangeline last
night. Mr. Gilson had selected an ex
cellent cast. Miss Blanche Hazelton
played the cold and haughty "Chris
tine" in a very artistic manner. Her
emotional scenes were especially
good. The leading man, William
Winterhoff, played a strenuous role
as "Dennis Fleet" and won instant
favor. Kathleen Gilson was winsome
and charming as "Susie" and fur
nished the comedy in the play. Chas.
Zimmerman played the villain
"Muller" in a finished manner and
Jack Morrison was excellent as
"Ludolph." The German couple was
played by Jess Finley and Viola
Walcott and made a decided hit with
their clever work. The balance of
the company were all good. There
was not a weak spot and words of
praise are heard on all sides this
morning. "Barriers Burned Away"
is the love story built around the
Chicago fire, and only lack of space
prevents a complete resume of the
piece which is new here. Enough to
say, those who missed it, missed a
treat , and have many times paid a
dollar for one not as good. Special
mention must also be made of the
act introduced by Miss Hazelton and
Mr. Winterhoff. Tonight they will
give in addition to the play a com
plete change of Vaudeville. Mr. Gil
son will appear in the leading role of
"A Bachelor's Hoyeymoon" tonight.
Prices the same.

WITH HER CARGO WORTH TEN
MILLION DOLLARS OR EVEN
MORE, DEUTSCHLAND RESTS
IN BERTH
NEW LONDON, Conn., Nov. 1.—
Captain Koenig goes to hotel for
rest and tells newspaper men that
his voyage was for most part above
water, and that he saw enemies who
never saw him.
With ten million dollars worth of
chemical dyestuffs, drugs jewelry
and stocks and bonds packed between
her homely sides the Deutschland is
lying in this harbor ready to unload.
All day the bay was gray and
white with innumerable tugs and
launches, yachts and yawls, clumsy
row boats and ungainly smacks
crowded to their "gunnels" with
folks who risked drowning just to
see the foreign submersible.
Even tonight after a day of it, a
deep chested band of Americanized
Germans were swinging up and down
Bank street singing "Deutschland'
Duetschland, über allies."
Meanwhile these thirty bland sail
or men are lying aboard the liner
Willehad as motionless as the ship
herself. They want simply to rid
themselves of their present cargo
and begin the run back to Bremen
with crude rubber, nickel, gold and
so oft, beneath their feet.
A technicality prevented the enter
ing of the Deutschland's cargo today.
James L. McGovern, collector for the
port of the State of Connecticut,
looked over the manifest proffered
him by Captain Paul Koenig and de
clared all well until he came to the
list of stocks and bonds and jewels.
He confessed being puzzled regard
ing them.
It was suggested to him that Sec
retary of the Treasury McAddo was
spending the night in Hartford. So
Mr. McGovern left for Hartford. To
night he telephoned that his problem
had been solved by Mr. McAddo and
that the precious cargo would be en
tered at this port tomorrow. Also
the long manifest will be made pub
lic unless Washington objects.
The crowds that struggled to see
the Deutschland were disappointed

on pontoons.
But while the Deutschland is ly
ing safe from prying eyes, Capt.
Paul Koenig, her commander, is at
the best hotel in New London, taking
a land rest.
"England blockade?" Capt. Koe- ;
nig lifted his voice to a note of
slight impatience as he repeated the
query. He turned his eyes upon the
questioner. They are sharp little
eyes of a bluish gray color.
Around the edges of the eyes are
innumerable WTinkles, like fretwork.
These wrinkles give the captain the
appearance of always smiling.
"England blockade?" he said a
gain, then he made a brief gesture
with one of those big red hands of
his, that seem to be a misfit on his
small frame.
"Well it hasn't stopped us yet," he
said, dropping his voice to its usual
quiet, even tone. "What else, gentle
men?"
He was seated at a long table in
an ornately decorated private din
ing room on the second floor of the
Mohican hotel. The Mohican is the
leading hostelry of New London.
He was telling the story of that
trip. Around the tabue was seated
forty-five newspaper reporters. They
were listening eagerly to the man
who is one of Germany's greatest
heroes of the big war. He is, as sug
gested above, a little man. That *is,
he is short of stature, and some
what shy of heft. He is stockily
built, however, and sinewy.
Most of the photographs shown of
him in this country have displayed
him in the cap and leather jacket
and the huge leather boots which he
wears when he takes his ship down
to sea,but today he was as dapper
as a bridegroom and as cherry too.
Questions poured upon him, some
of them intimate, personal questions.
He would turn jokes of these, bat
ting his eyes quizzically. His English
has a strong Teutonic accent. All
questions pertaining to the trip of
Hie Deutschland he answered read
ily. In fact that is the way
he told his story—by replies to ques
tions.
The ship—Koenig always calls it
a ship—had an uneventful trip. It
saw a lot of hostile vessels but the
hostiles never saw the Deutschland.
It ran about a hundred miles under
water all told on the way across.
It carried a cargo estimated in
value at $10,000,000.
This cargo includes drugs, such as
aspirin and alvarsen, and there is an
intimation that a lot of precious
stones and maybe some stocks and
bonds are aboard the Deutschland.
It brought mail iof the German am
bassador and for others in this coun
try* The voyagers have heard noth
ing of the Bremen and believe that
boat has been lost.
Capt. Koenig arrived at the Mohi
can in an automobile that carried
the German and American flags.
With him was Paul Hilken, son of
the president of the Eastern For
warding Company.
The captain came whirling
through the revolving door of the
Mohican like a violent gust of sea
breeze.
"Well, here I am gentlemen," he
said. "Now I will tell you all. They
trooped up stairs to the private din
ing room.
"Now then, what do you want to
konw, gentlemen?"
"What do you hear of the Bre
men?" asked one promptly.
"It left Bremen on August 26, and
they have no word of it since," he
replied gravely.
"The question you have asked me
is the very first question I asked
Mr. Hilken when I landed hre. It
went out in charge of Capt. Schwart
zkoph, and absolutely nothing has
been heard from it."
News received here with interest,
was to the effect, that the U. S.
Government has ordered an investi
gation of the high cost of living.
That there is cause for many com
modities advancing, there is no
doubt, but on the other hand, it may
be found, that some things are ad
vancing without cause. Let the inves
tigation proceed.
