Purple Mask at Bjou. Tj-e fifteenth mamlmoth two reel c'llpter of the stirring Universal su-'-.-erial achievement, "The Purple jiVs'k.' is the headliner on today's big t;U at the Bijou, and as there is just Vie more chapter of this sensational rial thriller after today, it will prob ably be presented to the very largest cror.ds of the year, j -The Purple Mask" is week by week rolling up a wonderful following, and cay include the latest chapter of The sational and spectacular that has ever lieen seen on the Bijou screen. Grace Cunnard and" Francis Ford, working at daggers points for the past fifteen veeks. gradually find their paths com ing to a junction, and there is much in terest as to the final outcome wheth er Grace or Francis will come out vic torious in the final scenes. It would not do to miss today's big chapter if you want to Le in on the finish and un derstand it correctly. Other big features at the Bijou to day includ ethe latest chapter of The Universal' Screen Magazine, the most interesting: picture feature ever filmed, and will always attract attention, and g big Joker comedy, "The Leak," with Gale Henry and William Franey. "Tiger Woman" at Victoria. The most gorgeous settings of scenic splendor ever attempted in a moving picture production has1 been embodied in the last Super De Luxe William Fox production of "The Tiger Woman" in which Miss Theda Bara plays th$ title roll. One scene depicting tlj:e- New York home of the heroine is the acme of richness and splendor. The large curio shops and foremost antique' deal ers of New York City were combed for the furniture and drapings used to fit up this set. The actual cess of 510,000. Miss Theda Bara in liam Fox Super De I" Iiiixe production trie user Woman wears a wonder ful gown especially designed for her y the famous rarisijan dressmaker, Paul Poiret. The gown arrived in the I'nited States after a great deal of dif ficulty, due to the scarcity of cargo Vessels. "The Tiger Woman,' spectacle, is the attraction at the Vic toria today and tomorrow, and is said to be the very greatest sirenic inter pretations in Miss Bai'a's spectacular screen career. f Big- Patriotic Pieture Coming:. "Womanhood, the Glory of the Na tion," coming to the Victoria next week, should create twice the stir that vras created by "The Battle Cry of Feace." The picture isj bigger, better and the story with its patriotism taken iray would still be soiil-inspiring. The cast of other big spectacles of this sort do not compare with the cast Bf "Womanhood, the Gllory of the Na fcon." These names Alice Joyce, Har ry Morey, Xaomi Childers, James Mor rison. Joseph Kilgour, Peggy Hyland, "bby Connelly, Walter -McGrail, Ed ward Elkas, Templar Saxe and thous ands of others go to make this the neatest cast ever appearing in any Pnoioplay. T.e aim of "Womanlihnii" ic av iation of patriotism, the necessity of preparedness, thet compelling power of self-sacrifice, especially among the women of America in this troubled and anxious time. The picture is a direct answer to the pacifist group and the anti-American foreigners in this country. It is the reply which the American woman makes to those who would betray or despoil, her flag. It portrays the three great loves of a woman's life, the love of a maid for a man, the love of a mother for her child, the love of a woman for her country. Max Linder Comedy Again. Announcement that Max lender's second Essanay comedy production will be entitled "Max Wants a Di vorce," has given rise to a flood of in quiries from photoplay patrons as to whether the noted European comedian is married. Max is not married, and, so far, has given no intimation that he will eyer marry. Reports are, how ever, that he has been mightily smit ten by American beauty. Linder's first American comedy, "Max Comes Across," created a sensa tion at the Bijou and the patrons have ever since been clamoring for more. The management is prepared to an nounce that the second one, "Max Wants a Divorce," will be presented at that theatre next Thursday. Beban at tlie Grand. George Beban, the celebrated por trayer of French and Italian charac ters .will be seen at the Grand today in the Pallas-Paramount production of "The Bond Between," a thrilling story of the New York Latin quarters, writ ten by Mr. Meban. One of the interesting scenes of the production is Mr. Beban's introduction where he is seen seated at his desk writing the story. Theaction of the drama begins practically under his pen. One of the unusual sets in George Beban's starring vehicle, the Pallas Paramount picture, "The Bond Be tween," is the basement, first and sec ond floors of a typical French boarding house in the Latin quarters of New York City. The basement of this set is occupied by the restaurant; the first and second floors are the rooms of the lodgers. Mr. Beban, as a French music teach er, occupies one room, and his cronies, a portrait painter, sculptor and musi cian, occupy adjacent apartments. Mr. Beban personally supervised the construction of this set and had it an exact replica of the one in which he used to reside before he became the celebrated star that he is now.

J Pallas Pictures Present GEORGE B E B AN In His Very Greatest French . Characterization "THE BOND ETWEEN" A Brief History of My Experiences In The Mar Between the North and South. (J. B. Casteen.) On the following day late in the evening we marched (and waded nearly to our waists across a creek) in line of battle to where the Yankees were and engaged in ; battle with them and fought until about ! ten o'clock; then we ceased firing at each other and our line fell back about fifty yards. Then they called out our company as yidettes ,and put us on the line where we had been fighting right between our line and the Yankees, everything was quiet the rest of the night. Next morn ing by the time it ! got light enough for us to see, we begun Airing at each other and kept it up until iln the day, finally our line fell back one hun dred yards or more; they 'called our company on Vidette again. , Next morn ing just before day .our lipe retreated on the other side of Gettysburg, en trenched and stayed there1 ajl day. That night they had us to.Vtmild fires up and down the line then put " us on a forced march all night long "and all next day until late in the afternoon. Some of the Yankees followed us. We came in a mile of the river that even ing and stopped until dark; then they had us to build fires; we then started to cross the river we had to wade across. Next morning we crossed over to Virginia. It had taken us all night and part of the morning to cross. We marched after we got in Virginia until about eleven o'clock,; then we stopped, drew rations, cooked and ate. When we left Gettysburg to come back to Virginia we stopped in a mile or two of the towni and intrenched in case the Yankees should pursue and attack us, we would have some pro tection; as soon as j it was dark we moved on, marched j all night. - Next morning after day we stopped to rest a little. I had been on guard duty two nights in succession, and was very much fatigued; as I ilay down on the naked ground and went to sleep, a shower of rain fell while I was asleep, and when some one awoke me up to fall in line and move on, I was lay ing in a puddle of water. I. 'have layed down many nights with my blanket spread on the ground, and not have anything but my cartrdge box for a pillow and sleep all night. I know very little of the generals who led in the different battles; all I know is "I would j always be there when the fighting began and when it ended." I have heard that our divi sion was in General Jackson's corps, then in General A. P. Hill's. There is one thing which took place that night before we were captured next morning I have never understood. We were intrenched,' had everything arranged, Artillery guns all along on the line, ready for them when they earner and instead of staying in the intrenchment that night we were mov ed, off in a strip of woods, and stayed there all night with our guns in our arms. Next morning before it was light good the Yankees began to throw shells over where we were lying, we got -in line and ran to the trenches ? id it does seem to me that we were '.ere not more than 30 minutes before e place was covered with "Blue Jckets" shouting "Surrender," "Get U i the rear, and of ! course we were out numbered by a large majority, so we could not do anything but sur render or be killed. I never knew why we were ordered from the trenches that night and I have though that if we had stayed in the intrenchments we could have hald the works longer and not have been captured as soon as we were, but of corse, the commanding officers had reasons for it not known to the privates. j Although it has been over fifty years since then, I j never can for get hearing the wounded coldiers on the battle field after a battle begging for water; I feel like I can almost hear the sound of their voices in my ears now calling ,"wa-ter, wa-ter." All night long you! could hear that cry. t I can never forget the "Huz zas"' of the Yankees' when they made a charge, nor the "Rebel Yell" when the "Rebs" chargedJ I was taken prisoner at Spottsyl vania, C. H. (or Horse-Shoe as some called it) early in the morning of May 12th, 1864. The whole division, generals and all were taken. Captain John Cowan was ! captain of our company at that time and he was a brave man, he did not look like he knew what fear was, he encouraged us long as he could, but when he felt we had done all :we could, he told us to lay down our guns. If we had held out " awhile longer, we would not have been captured at that time for I heard later on that reinforcements soon came and-took! the works back. After we were captured, they march ed us nearly all day and when they stopped us f or .th ;' -night, they put us in a very smaiy low, muddy place, all huddled so closp together, we could not sit down nor I;ie down, and to add to our discomfort t was raining which made the mild softer. Guards were stationed about etery five steps and they had a battery of artillery on a hill pointing down fon us so if we made any attempt I to gf .t away they could fire on us. the officers had tents not very far from us. , "Next morning they moved us to a (noe comfortable place and threw 'up craqkers for .us to get; every one 'scrambled for them, knock ed each other dowifn in the rush. We had not had anything to eat since we were captured. 1 1 left my 'haversack on a stake in the trenches and every thin gelse that belpnged to me. They then took lis acros the river and took us to Point Looc Out prison. We were met. thei'e by hiegro guards. They had negroes to gukrd us all the time we were there. Sometimes they would shoot in the prisonjand wound some of the prisoners.
