WILSON TALKS OF PEACE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—Persons who recently;
discussed the European situation with President Wilsou
have learned that the efforts of the l nited States to bring
about peace among the warring nations are waiting the
time when one or the other of the belligerents signify a
willingness to accept mediation. \\ ilson feels that the
American government, by pressing lor peace, might get
in a position where the ultimate influence of this nation
might l>e impaired. Not the slightest indication has come
from any warring nation that peace is desired and both
sides seem to be absolutely confident of ultimate success
notwithstanding the certainty that some of the powers en
caged must already be looking forward anxiously to the
outcome in a financial sense as well as in other respects.

in the history of the world. Many there are who feel thatj
with the frightful and bloody deadlock now existing in i
Europe the belligerents have brought home to them the
catastrophe which is being visited on the most civilized
of all continents and the awful possibility that in the na
tions of the east may come once again a religious war
which will be accompanied with horrors that cannot be
conceived._ I

TESS OF THE D’URBERVILLES
j It were a twice-told tale to re
! iterate the great success made on
! the speaking stage by Mrs. Fiske in
the title-role of Tess of tfio D’Urber
villes. It was in this character that
she first won recognition from the
critics as one of America’s greatest
f
, actresses.
The artistic technique of her act
! ing both in point of gesture and facial
expression, is brought out with strik
! ing effect. Never in the course of the
entire screen performance of Tess
does Mrs. Fiske indulge in a single
gesture that is not in keeping with
the text or situation, and her facial
j expression is at all times indicative
of the passing mood or requisite
.1 emotion.
J The scenic setting of Tess of the
D’Urbervilles as placed on view at the
Lyceum Theater, New \ork, last
Tuesday afternoon, is indeed a thing
of beauty and ought to be a joy for
ever. Especially beautiful are the
rural scenes, which were frequently
applauded by those who were present
to view the first camera production
of Tess of the D’Urbervilles at the
(invitation of Daniel Frohman and the
Famous Players Film Company.
There is no question that this artis
tic five-reel feature will draw large
audiences wherever it is present
