George Walsh, the great William Fox star, comes to the Grand again tomorrow, presenting his latest and greatest Fox dramatic feature, "Melt , jng Millions," An which the famous star combines-pleasure and business "to a great degree. Walsh has the ,role f a brawny "football hero, the battle as valiantly as ever. Of course, there's a girl in the story. In this particular case there are two girls. In fact, but only one of them loves the hero. She is. pretty Anna Luther, who plays Jane Billon, a terribly plain name for such an attractive beauty. The other girl, Velma Whitman, also some beauty along her special line, has him all to herself until Jack meets the other one through the un conventional method of a train hold up. It's a rapid moving photoplay all the way through with some light ro mance, some deep patnos and some good, clean comedy i situations.'.

There are numberless big things with this show that help to put it over I in the class of exceptional musical j comedy companies. There is some ; nifty special scenery that, always i adds to a show.

The author of the story of "Civili zation" to be shown at the Victoria the latter half of next week, has pro vided Mr. Ince with a wohderful theme on which he spent a million dollars and which took over 40,000 people to work in. Nowadays the people who make moving pictures.; complain open ihat they cannot get good stories f or. 1 heir picturcc. If the standard of "Civilization" "be taken as a thing to ke.ep in view, we cannot sympathize with the purveyors of the most popu lar entertainment of the world. For the story of "Civilization" is one of the few that is f universal interest. It is really a screen synepsization of the teachings of the New Testament or the love of one's neighbor. '' , Nations, like individuals, -are not above, or should rlo.t be above, prof iting by this sublime doctrine. -But unfortunately, nations, like individ uals, are very prone to disregard it, so we have today the humiliating spectacle of the European family fighting amonst themselves, justSlike lialf a dozen disorderly-minded plain citizens. Mr. Ince shows, war on land and sea in all its naked brutality anu coarseness. It is the war that the newspaper correspondents so graphi cally told us about and that photog raphers have so faithfully photo graphed when they had the chance these last twenty-four months. It is difficult imagining anything more shocking except it be the real thing grim war itself, as it is being waged with guns, air craft, noxious gases and all the other dreadful weapons of murder by "hired assassins." Many pacifists belieYe that "Civili zation" will have some efTect m pre venting future wars. We hope it will. It is only the people who, after all, can prevent war, and it is only the people who can stop war. This pic ture is of such a nature it is hardly conceivable that anybody except a despotic ruler hungering for conquest 1 or an avaricious munition maker would go to war after this it is-' all so horrible; so bruta); so degrading; so . humiliating to humanity. There fcre some splendidly tender and touch ing passages in this film, which show that in the words of Shakes peare, "There is some soul of good ness in things eyil, after all." When the lurid drama ends the masterly touch of Mr. Ince brings " down -his curtain, so to speak, on the restora tion of peace and the return of hap-pin-ess t the once- blood-staissd fields.

Tomorrow is the. day when the basseball fan of the nation comes into bis own. The pre liminaries for the ball-tossers are over and, beginning tonjbrrow- afternoon arid continuing until the first week in October, winter league' gossip and the magnates will be forgotten, and all interest will center on, the boys out on the playing field. American league teams have theil work cut out for them in an endeavor to stop the Red Sox. Jack Barry, the new pilot of the Sox, has the 1916 champions intact. In fact, he has prac tically the same team that has won two wprldrs: championships in succes sion, Speaker and Carrigan being the only absentees from the 191$ champs. The Detroit Tigers -the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Probably the most talked of book in literary circles ,in NeW Yorfc: tbis spring is "Nadine Narska, written hy the wealthy Baroness Mahrah de Mey er, active in the upper strata of so ciety and one of the foremost fencing experts iri America. The Baroness lives at the Ritz, where she draws about her most in teresting folk in the world of letters. She ii of Royal blood," but recently an nounced that she is becoming an Am erican citizen. The new book has created a sensa tion because of Its remarkable charac ter of delineation. It Is an interesting study of a soul working put its own salvation. And it is daring but hon est, which, after all, is the main thing. I like the simple forewbrdl'Ho!

Even as the police- cidents, the New York Yankees should be in the thick of the fray from the top of the gong, And with a number of youngsters in their line-up the Ath letics also seem to have an excellent chance to get back into the running. Fielder Jones' Browns, who gave the leaders considerable trouble last year, are a likely looking bunch of pastimers. The Senators, with the great Walter Johnson on the job, are always dangerous. In the National league all eyes seem to be focused on the New York Giants. Many of the; critics have picked the McQraw aggregation to whip the tar out of the champion Brooklyn team, the Braves and all the other National outfits. Still, , even baseball experts have been knpvn" to pick losers. Given an equal share of the breaks of the game, the Braves are well equip ped to keep up with the pennant pro cession.
