As a result of Miss Burkes appeal to the audience to contribute generously toward the fund being raised for the soldiers blinded for life in the steal European war, more than was raised ere the end the entertainment. Wonderfully dramatic was the appeal made by Miss Burke to the vast throng fathered at the New York Hippodrome.

Brownell, one of the talented scenario writers of the George Kleine plait. In a clear sweet voice that could be distinctly heard in even the topmost gallery seat, Miss Burke recited: I'm fioing lo ask a simply thing of you Something that may cause you all to smile. Watch me and do exactly as 1 do For Just a very, very little while. Hold out your handspalm up.

That's right! Now place them firmly o'er your eyes. Tou mustn't peep until I say "Times up!" Tor that would spoil our little enterprise. At this point every light in the theatre was extinguished, and as the last ftpeck of light disappeared Miss Hurko ailed out, "Time's l'p!" and those in the audience who had covered their eyes with their hands as she instructed, took down their hands to find that there in the pitch darkness nothing was to be seen. After a momentary pause to let the impression of real blindness steal over the minds of everyone in that throng, which numbered thousands, idiss Burke resumed her speech: Here in the darkness I appeal to you For those whose eyes are blinded for all time. Give but a mite to help them, and I'll know I have not rpoki in vain this little rhyme.

With a nap the lights came on Again as Miss Burke concluded her little verses and quietly the youim society girls, who had been selling programs for the benefit, performance, (slipped down the aisles and distributed, little promissory notes through Jibe audience.

That delightful and Immensely popular character actress, Alice Gale, whom every theatre-goer In the United States and Canada knows and loves, has joined the forces of William Fox and will be seen at the Istrione Monday in "Sins of Men," her first picture. She has been on the stage for 40 years and has played with such favorites as Mrs.

Leslie Carter, Nat Goodwin, Marie Wain wrlght, Amelia Bingham, Robert B. Mantell, Edwin Booth, Minnie Dupree, otts Skinner, Charles Rlchman, Laurette Taylor and Louis Mann. Although an actress of recognized ability for the last years, she was as nervous as a school girl at her appearance in the photoplay work at the Fort Lee studios Under Director James Vincent. Another strikingly spectacular motion picture that compares favorably with the best of that sort yet produced, was given its first showing to an audience of approximately 3, (100 professionals at Chine's Auditorium, Los Angeles recently, and is booked at the Istrione In this city for an early date. Jn this, Mile.

Anna Pavlowa makes, her debut as a film star, and proved equally as wonderful on the screen as on the stage, in her part, the name role of "Fenella" or "The Dumb Girl of Porlici." The. picture was produced for the Universal by the Smulleys. This subject stands out from all others produced in which fancy dancing is a part, in that in this the dancing appears natural and with perfect rhythm, and lacking that Jerky motion films heretofore have possessed. Mile. Pavlowa is Introduced first as the dancer, and gives several of her most popular dances.

Through the film she appears in this role in but few instances, but in each case the dances brought forth applause. Other very beautiful scenes were those In which Mile. Pavlowa's Russian Ballet took part. These were staged in the palace set and make new standards for producers of future subjects. The story for this is a decidedly strong one, giving to the various members of the cast supporting Mile.

Pavlowa remarkable parts. That all were cast well is brought out by the very irood performances rjlven by each member. Wonderful sets of great magnitude and elaborate furnishings were used In the court and village street scenes. In the latter there are broad thoroughfares and market places of the width of an American street, and the scenes enacted in these for the wedding festivities are 'tnleed beautiful. The riot scenes, which continue for several reels, are thrilling In the extreme, but are 'wanting i nvarlety, in the point IS This is Opinion of Methodist Missionary Who Has Been There.

Saratoga Springs, N. June "If the Philippines were granted independence Japan Would swallow them in a brief time," declared Kev. Harry Farmer, in an interview here. Dr. Farmer has been in the Philippines as a missionary and editor since lltOI.

"Do the Philippines want independence 'For 300 years under Spanish oppression thev dreamed of a republic," he said. "When the American troopi entered Manila the commanding Ken-eral would not permit the Philippine army to enter. Shut outside the walls, the natives attributed the patience of the American troops to cowardice. Hence the conflict. When they recovered respect for the American soldiers, (hey were easier to govern.

But they have never lost the vision of independence. "In 1H04 the people could speak only two or three phrases in English. Now nearly everyone can carry on a con-versaGon.

"The government has appropriated the warlike spirit of the wild tribes by organizing them Into a native constabulary to keep order. Roads have been built into every part of the islands and travelers have familiarized the natives with civilized customs. "In 11101 Mr. Taft visited many places and nearly always inaugurated a city government with a mayor and council. Soon after this the province was organized, with a Governor an associate, and a treasurer as the governing body.

The first two were elected, (he latter appointed. Then came the Lower National House and the four natives associated with the Five Committees In the Higher House. The Jones bill is a very wise measure, since it adds more self-control, making only the Governor and Vice-Governor as appointive. At every step forward natives meet their responsibilities with ability. "Why, then, would it be unwise to give them independence?" Dr.

Farmer-was asked. "Japan claims to be Malay, and as such the head of such peoples as the Philippines," he replied. "She Announces she will claim Sumatra and Java on an application of her own Monroe Doctrine. She has already absorbed Korea and Formosa, and one-half the island of Saghalian. She has seized all the German islands in the Pacific and their possessions in f'hlna.

She had arranged to seize China when England, her ally, objected. Now the Japanese papers are 'abiting' Great Dritain and insisting that Japan break her alliance with England and make a new one with Germany and seize China. She would seize the Philippines If the stars and stripes did not float over them. "But the Philippines will not he satisfied to heroine a mere State In the 1'nion. They look forward to Independence.
