'J'raftic. A Picture Every Young Wo-
man Should See. A Lesson Never
to be Forgotten.
One of the moBt impressive pro-
ductions ever screened in New York
was shrown for the first time in El-
liott's Theater yesterday.
The picture referred to was "Is
Any Girl Safe." A fearless arraign-
ment of a monsterous evil.
The picture conveys a great moral
lesson without the obj ctionable feat-
ures of many similar productions
and in additions It is perfect in an
artistic sense.
"IS ANY GIRL SAFE?"
America's foremoBt Divine the Rev.
Dr. Parkhurst Bays "tbe enormous
extension of the white slave traffic
and the traps which. are.- so. de-
ductively set by dissolute cunning
that no young girl in the city Is ab-
solute secure are facts which It is
time for fathers and mothers to un-
derstand and to face.
The drama gives an idea of tbe
captivating devices employed by pro-
curers and their agents and was
declared by one who is officially en-
gaged In suppressing the traffic to
be true to life and no exaggeration
ation. . . . '
Mothers departed with a prayer
of gratefulness that their daughters
had escaped the lot which bad drag-
ged other mothers' daughters to tbe
lowest depths this side of Hades.

hibited all the movements of defense
