'Nover. X. J.. have been made in that
t !
city in the presence of ordnance of-,
fleers representing the government,

with a Springfield rifle loaded with;
regulation ammunition which carried
a bullet velocity of 2.740 feet per
second. The bullet was deflected from
the jacket without injury to the wear- i
er and failed even to make an in
dentation in the plate.

NIGHT OUT” AT
KMPRK8M TOMORROW
“A Night Out" is the title of a
5-reed Vitagraph comedy which will
be presented by the Empress man
agement tomorrow evening, and is
one of the best comedies ever shown
here. .The cast includes such stars as
May Robinson, Glora Finch, Kate
Price, Eva Taylor, Hughie Mack. Wil
liam Shea. Charles Brown, George
Cooper, Belle Bruce, Ethel Corcoran,
Jack Storey and Arthur Cozine.
The story deals with the adven
tures of Grannum, who, kept in re
jstraint all his earlier life decides to
enoy the latter part a little. She is
again restrained by her daughter, but
her grandsons Paul and Jack are her
! greatest companions, and they cer
| tainly sep that she enjoys herself
on her “Night Out.” Ludicrous com
plications follow as a matter of course
adding to the merriment, but all
conies out right at last.
