"BADGE OF COURAGE" A BIG
PRODUUCTION AT DREAM
Jn “The Badge of Courage, a Cyrus
T. Brady story, the western Yit i
grnph Company has again furnished a
flint play of the quality of "Captain
Alvarez." Its presentation made the at
tendance at the Yitagraph theater
jump to high figures.
The new play was photographed at j
Bear Lake in the Rocky mountains
partly in the dead of winter, and the
effects obtained by the director, Rollin
S. Sturgeon, are strikingly lieautiful.
The play deals with two men who are
eventuallyy thrown into rivalry for the
love of two women. The rivalry costs
the life of the first woman, and years
after the second loved one, a girl, is
rescured from a mountain storm by
one of the men, and, because of im
passable snows, is immured in his
cabin for a Rocky mountain winter.
The other, to whom she had been en
gaged!!, comes in the spring to find her
heart given to the man of the moun
tains. The death of the newseotner,
who is the villain of the story, is the
end of all except happiness for the girl
and the mountain man.
There are many opportunities for
fine acting, for delightful out-of-doors
scenes, and for snow panoramas, and
all are taken full advantage of. Wil
liam Duncan, Myrtle Gonzales and Geo.
Holt play the principal parts with
convincing power.

APPEAL TO PRESluEfil
IN STRIKE DlEHliUi.lt
International News Service.
NEW YOliK, Kept. IS. The .strik'j
situnimu has become so acute that!
Inisint ss interests have begun to exerl !
intluenee with President Wilson in the!
hope that he may he able to bring I
about a settlement of the present
strike on the city transportation lines,
anti, what is of even greater moment,
prevent the spread of the strike to
other forms of labor.
The temper of teamsters, longshore
men, garment workers, and employes
in many, if not most, factories is such
today that a general strike is not only
possible hut probable. The present
week may see business of every kind
at a complete standstill. There may
even l» a shortage of food.
This dreaded condition may he
averted by the aid of the president
which might take the form, it is ex
pected, of pressure on employers anil
an appeal to employes in which case
the threatened evil may he avoided by
concessions on both sides.
