The story is well pic¬ tured and contains some very effective situations. It Is a very interesting film, marred at times by blurred photogra¬ phy. BENEDICT ARNOLD, Historical, Vita- graph: This Is a splendid subject, presented in a beautiful manner. It deals with the familiar history of Benedict Arnold and his negotiations with Major Andre. The film shows the capture of Andre, his taking off to the gallows, the flight of Arnold, and his death in a miserable English garret, with a vision of the American flag haunting his dying mo¬ ments. Such films are of educational value, and this one is particularly well pictured and the costuming is historic¬ ally correct. INDIAN BASKET MAKING1, Education¬ al, Vitagraph: Film showing the Passamaquoddy In¬ dians in the picturesque sections of Maine making baskets. The presence of some tiny pappooses and an Indian chief in full ceremonial dress add to the effectiveness of the film. Good film for a neighborhood theater, where there are many school children. A MAN WITH THREE WIVES, Com¬ edy, Edison:—

uncle" objects, as the nephew is his heir. His chum, who has a wife and baby, is brought into the trouble, when the uncle arrives, and the first young man palms his wife off, as the wife of his chum. The young man’s mother-in-law also arrives, and finding a pretty model in the room, she is about to raise a big fuss, and he announces that she is the wife of his friend, who already has two wives, according to his story. There are several amusing complications and the story is clearly told. An amusing DORA, Drama, Kalem:— Pretty love story of a rather conven¬ tional type. A young man marries against his father’s wishes. He is dis¬ owned. Later, after a child is born and has grown to be a pretty fluffy-haired child, the father is killed by a prema¬ ture blast in a quarry and the mother and child are left destitute. The girl whom the young man rejected in the first place hears of the trouble, and at¬ tempts to soften the old man’s heart by bringing the child to him. At first the plan is not successful, but finally the child wins its way to the heart of the old man, and he takes his son’s wife to his home. The photography is good in this film, and the story is told in some very effective’ pictures. It is a splendid film for a neighborhood thea-

It is presented in effective cos¬ tumes and the photography is good. The scene opens as King Arthur de- he ninth tournament, the prize of which is the last of the nine dia¬ monds. Queen Guinever says that ill¬ ness will prevent her attendance at the tournament and Launcelot says he will not enter the lists, supposing that the queen’s illness is but an exouse for their meeting. The queen, however, bids him to enter the lists, and he does, but while on his way he meets the lovely Elaine, and wins her heart. Later, when he is wounded, she nurses him to health, but he cares-only for the queen, and this breaks the maiden’s heart. Finally she pines away and dies, and she is placed on a bier in a boat and sent down the stream to Arthur’s court, where the queen and Launcelot find her dead body. Launcelot is touched by the death of the maiden, and begins nightly vigils, in which his soul is purged of the illicit love he bore the queen. The costuming in this film is in excellent taste, and it is a film of a very high class. It will perhaps go quite over the heads of the average audience, but it will appeal to cultured people. HIS MASTERPIECE, Drama, Edison:— This is one of the most artistic sub¬ jects ever released by this company. It is presented with splendid lighting ef¬ fects, and the story is <—one that •-is ’bound * to interest culturediltured tpeople. It is the _ jry-—i of an old musicianmusic! and his strug- gle ?aIn, recognition. He writes what he thinks in his masterpiece, and plays it for friends, who are overcome with its plaintive beauty. The musician does not understand their attitude, and fears that the music is a failure. He is dis¬ possessed from his lodgings and wan¬ ders out homeless, when he finds a valu¬ able piece of jewelry in a case, with the owners name on it. He hastens to a pawnshop, but his conscience finally gets the better of him, and he takes it to the home of the rich owner, where a musicale is in progress. Seeing that he has a violin under his arm, he is in¬ vited to play, and he meets with such success that a great publisher is inter¬ ested in him, and his troubles are over.
