PATHE'S WEEKLY
 KEENEYS TONIGHT

Probably the most artistic number that has been given at Keeney's this season is "An Ideal in Venice,'' a re- markedly good operatfc playlet pre- sented this week by the Franeonia Opera company as one of the features of the program. It is a brilliant musical speciality and the audience Is receiving it with great deal of en- thusiasm every day. There are six people in the company and each pos sesses a voice of rare qualities. In- dividually and collectively the voices are heard to excellent advantage. The solos are splendidly sung and the chorus numbers are rendered with spirit that holds the audience en- thralled. Selections from the most popular of the Italian operas are given
 Every member of the company for merly played with some of the worlds biggest opera troupes. MT. Fran conia was at one time a soloist with the Boston Opera company. He has a fine baritone voice and his solo is one of the big hits of the act
 While it is of an entirely different character, the act of the Four Regals should be measured with the operatic speciality. It is a gymnastic novelty entitled "The Armorers," and is re- plete with sensational feats. One of the quartet is gymnast of remark able strength and he accomplishes some wonderful tricks. The act Is we'll staged, the scenery representing a smithy shop of days gone by.
 Another artistic speciality that we'll deserves the praise given 1t is the act of Demitriuse, Greek poser. Ills work is the finest ever seen in this city. He poses as a bronze figure ll- frustrating mythical characters of older Greece and for finale gives display of muscular development at Whlcn the audience marvels every day.
 Price and Arnold entertain with piano and violin selections. They are premier ragtime singers and render several good numbers. Stanley ana Moore offer song and conversational number of high class. There is an abundance of good comedy in thelr turn. MT. Stanley's rendition of My Old Lady, is one of the best features of the act.

PEOPLE WITH THIN BLOOD

Some people have tendency to be- come thin-blooded just as others have an inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to nervous disorders. The condition in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually and stealthily that anyone with natural disposition in that direction should watch the symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the medical term is, can be corrected much more easily in the earlier stages than later. It begins with tired feeling that rest docs not over, come, the complexion becomes pale, ana breathlessness on slight exertion, sucn as going up stairs, is noticed.
 pr. Williams Pink Pills arc a nome remedy that has been most successful Tn the treatment of diseases caused by thln blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood-making pills afford the correct treatment when the symptoms described are noticed. A former sufferer from anamia says: "I was emaciated and did not have a particle of color. had severe headaches, had no ambition and could just drag around" pr. Will liams' Pink Pills quickly restored appetite, flesh and health. A full statement of this case with directions regarding diet will be found in the booklet, Building Up the Blood," scnt f-ce b7 the Dr. Eil- Hams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

THE FATAL PLUNGE
 AT FOX'S THEATER

"The Fatal Plunge" vivid tale of conspiracy with a tragic and ave- inspiring climax clearly and interest ingly told in three parts will be the feature attraction at Fox's theater to- day, in addition to the regular pro- gram of first run and carefully se- lected photo-plays from the Associa- tion studios. The story deals with Count Durant being in desperate fi- nancial straits, visits his sister who suggests to him scheme to raise
 money. He requests the hand of a wealthy manufacturers daughter, and srcceers in winning consent to their marriage. This is sad news to the manufacturers secretary as he is deeply in love with his employers daughter. Edith soon learns to regret her unfortunate marriage, as she is sadly neglected by her scheming hus- band. Her father failing in health, turns over the management of the business to the secretary, and soon after the count tries to induce the new manager to advance large sum Of money and on being refused, re- sorts to robbery. A terrible struggle ensues, but the manager finally over comes the desperate count. The manufacturer, attracted by the com Lat, witnesses his son-in-law's mur- derous attack and realizing his true character, has his will drawn up, and disinherits him, as a result of which ard to the great excitement the old man succumbs to an attack of heart failure.
 The balance of the eight reel motion picture program is made up Of some of the best comedies and dramas from the association manu- lecturers and include such films as "Andy Learns to Swim," an Edison rip-roaring comedy.

Guimpes and chemisettes make such really vital feature of present styles that this pattern is most valuable one. The collar in each instance is of the faring sort, sometimes known as Nor mandy, sometimes as Gladstone, some times as Marie Stuart, but, by whatever name 1t is called, it is very generally becoming and exceedingly smart. The little chemisette or vestee is an exceed ingly useful garment to slip on under a blouse or a coat. The guimpe with its full front is somewhat more drcssy in effect but equally practical. The collar can be utilized for almost any costume inasmuch as it can be made of lace or net to be exceedingly smart or of organdie or pique to be quite simple, and piqut for both collars and chemisettes is one of the newest and latest fancies
