COLONIAL THEATRE.
Mother, the Brady -Shubert Massive
 Five Reel Dramatic Feature.

Throughout the whole United States motion picture managers are clamoring to secure the wonderful fve-reel sen sation that is the feature at the Colo nial theatre today, entitled Mother, and why? Just because the picture Is per vaded with the plainest kind of a, little woman in the person of Emma Dunn, who created the part and played 1t thousands of times on the stage. Here is woman who by her wonderful per- sonality is able to sway the entire company and audience by her exquisite tenderness and marvellous adaptability and can meet the most extenuating cir cumstances and bravely and success fully baffle with two women of the world who are designing to capture her two unsuspecting sons, scarcely of age
 thinking to also secure legacy recent ly left them. Two grown daughters also need the constant attention of mc&her, to keep their feet from falling into pitfalls, and two little boys beg ging for romps and all the joys that extreme childhood demands. Such are the conditions that face this little mother, yet she is able to cope with them and brighten every moment she is on the screen. This picture is not altogether a sad one, for in almost every scene the two little fellows keep things lively and the two big ones complicated. SnakeviHe's Reform Wave Is the comedy scream for today

But the foeman had us beat; And his shot and shell played little With our bit of the British fleet Why were we caught and hammered On the ChfIian waters wide?

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is an average man, Not built in any particular plan, Not blest with any peculiar luck Just steady and earnest and full Of When asked a question he does not He knows and answers ''No" or "Yes" When set to a task that the rest can He buckles down till he's put 1t
 through. Finds favor in his employers eyes: That it pays to know more than ono
 thing well; That it doesn't pay all he knows to
 tell;

 Company at the Davis Theatre Today
 The Escape, written in the belief that all men are brothers, and that hu- man beings, collectively are reSponsi- ble for human beings, individually-a drama of the eugenic science, showing mlany phases of nfe-ranging from the realistic to the visionary. from poverty to affiuence. from horror to supreme happiness. Civilization is as yet only half complete. AS much and more remains to be done as has all ready been accomplished You must bear your share of the burden and fight your part of the good fight.
 The Escape, while it has plenty of laughter and comedy situations, still 1t has that powerful plot and story that grips you and you don't forget the play when you leave the theatre; you take it home with you, so to speak.
 Miss Myrlle will be seen as May Joyce. who escapes from poverty and sorrow to a better life. MT. Burtin as Dr. Won Eiden will have a chance to slow his dramatic ability.
 This production is carried complete bY the company and is heradled as one of their masterpieces.
 The company is doing splendid busi- ness and they are deserving. Tomor- row they produce another strong play, Stop Thief, in the afternoon, by pop ular request, and Under Southern Skies, the beautiful southern play, in the evening.

Encouraging Reports From Every
 Member Canvass.

At the mid-feek service of the Ffrst Congregational church, Thursday ev- ening enthusiastic reports were given from the twenty-six who had gone out two by two the previous Sunday in the interest of the every member can vass. All had been on the whole most cordially received and the wish for pastoral calls and for more frequent calls from the members of the church was expressed. The rough travelling and slow progress in some parts of the town was made up by the interest shown in the church and it's support New contributors were secured and present pledges increased in many in- stances. The financial statement will be given later when the cards are handed in to the treasurer. The in- spiration and blessing received by those who went out was apparent and the pastor expressed the hope that this interest may not be lost, but may be a help to the church.
